Death by Coffee

By: Alex Erickson

CRIME & MYSTERY FICTION MYSTERY & DETECTIVE GENERAL FICTION (MYSTERY & DETECTIVE / GENERAL)

Description

When Krissy Hancock and her best friend Vicki decide to open a bookstore cafe in their new town of Pine Hills, they decide to call it "Death by Coffee," after Krissy's father's most famous mystery novel. Little do they know how well the name fits...

On their very first day of business, Brendon Lawyer huffily takes his coffee...to the grave. It seems he had a severe allergy to peanuts...but how could there have been nuts in his coffee? And who stole his emergency allergy medication?

Fortunately, Krissy's love of puzzles and mysteries leads her not only to Officer Paul Dalton, but also to many of her new neighbors, who aren't terribly upset that the book is closed on Brendon. But one of them is a killer, and Krissy needs to read between the lies if she wants to save her new store-and live to see how this story ends...

Jennyfer D, Bookseller

Krissy decides to join her friend Vicki in Pine Hills to open a bookstore that sells coffee that is named after Krissy's mystery writer father's best selling novel. On their opening day, a man comes in for coffee and is found dead later. Krissy helps Officer Paul Dalton investigate and the fun begins!

Rosemary S, Librarian

It seemed like such a good idea at the time. Krissy Hancock and her BFF Vicki would open a bookstore/coffee shop and call it Death by Coffee, after her dad’s most famous mystery novel. But on their very first day, customer Brendon Lawyer keels over in his coffee. True, he’s allergic to peanuts, but how would peanuts get in coffee? And who swiped his epi pen? None of Brendon’s neighbors are sad to see him go, but Krissy has her store and her reputation to think of, so it looks like she will need to solve the murder with the help of officer Paul Dalton
