Espresso Yourself...To Death (A Harper Lane Cozy Mystery, #2)

When a tell-all book signing turns deadly, Willow Creek’s past claws back to life.

Harper Lane, the bookstore owner, simply wanted to keep the cookie tray full at The Book Nook. Then, thriller superstar Dorian Hawthorne was found poisoned.

With notebook in hand, Harper teams up with Edgar, her parrot, and Watson, a golden retriever.

Harper uncovers suspicious behavior from two neighborhood literary agent Eleanor Pierce, who's desperately hiding something in her office, and retired cop Grant Holloway, whose mysterious connection to the victim runs deeper than anyone realized.

Historian Vivian Clarke holds decades-old love letters that could change everything. These letters reveal that her grandmother was involved in planning Willow Creek's "accident." Dorian planned to share this in Chapter One.

Each clue leads to another twist. A ransacked Book Nook and a final threatening text to Harper say, “She knows.” This shows that the mastermind is one step ahead.

Time’s up; the killer’s next move is checkmate, and Harper’s life is the piece he is prepared to sweep off the board.
