A Dash of Deceit (Cafe Crimes Cozy Mystery #7)

A Dash of Deceit is the seventh book in the Cafe Crimes series—a clean culinary cozy mystery featuring amateur sleuth and former true-crime podcaster Parker Hayes in the charming small town of Magnolia Grove.

Parker Hayes is ready to brew up a winning season at Catch You Latte, serving up Spring Fling Lattes and zesty lemon tarts. But when a beloved town fixture vanishes just days before a celebration—leaving behind a cryptic note—Parker’s coffee break turns into a high-stakes hunt for answers.

With a secret manuscript, shady dealings at the Dollar Dash and an author duo acting strange, Parker’s sleuthing skills are put to the test. But the deeper she digs, the more tangled the clues become—until an unexpected twist turns Magnolia Grove upside down. Parker and friends, along with her dog, Major, must crack the case before Magnolia Grove’s biggest party becomes yet another crime scene.

A Dash of Deceit is the seventh brew in the Cafe Crimes Cozy Mystery series—filled with Southern charm, twisty secrets and a caffeine-fueled amateur sleuth you won’t forget. Grab your favorite mug and settle in!
