A Twist of Trouble (Cafe Crimes Cozy Mystery #13)
Overview
A Twist of Trouble is the thirteenth 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 figured her October would be filled with ghost tours, pumpkin spice lattes and Hazel’s over-the-top Halloween pranks. But when a so-called haunting at the abandoned Atmore Manor ends with the shocking discovery of a body, Parker is pulled into a mystery darker than any ghost story.
Legends of the long-lost Atmore family swirl with whispers of roses left on graves, flickering lights in empty rooms and shadows moving where no one should be. But Parker suspects the real danger isn’t supernatural—it’s flesh and blood.
As storm clouds gather, Parker, her brave dog Major, and the ever-reliable Whit must untangle town gossip, family secrets and a twist that turns faster than she ever imagined. And when the truth comes to light, she’ll learn that some ghosts don’t rest quietly.
A Twist of Trouble is a Southern cozy mystery steeped in spooky chills, small-town secrets and one cafe owner determined to unmask the truth—served up with pumpkin spice lattes and humor.
