Espresso, Lies & Alibis

Welcome to Harbor Cove, where the coffee is hot, the gossip is hotter, and murder is always on the menu.

Emma Hart thought she left the drama behind when she traded city life for the peaceful charm of a small coastal town. But when the town's most controversial councilwoman drops dead after sipping an espresso from Emma's café, all eyes-and suspicions-turn to her.

With her reputation, café, and sanity on the line, Emma sets out to solve the mystery before her grand opening becomes her grand closing. Armed with a sharp eye, a sharper wit, and the help of her barista bestie Sadie, a grumpy local detective, and a bookish new ally, Emma must untangle the web of secrets behind Miranda Ellis's murder.

But Harbor Cove holds more than just cozy corners and cinnamon muffins. And someone is determined to make sure Emma's first case is her last...
