Description
When beloved customer Dorothy Fletcher vanishes after her usual Tuesday morning visit to the Whisker & Bean coffee shop, owner Sadie Parker tries not to worry. But when Dorothy's body is discovered days later in an abandoned greenhouse on the outskirts of town, Sadie knows something isn't right. Dorothy was careful, methodical, and terrified of abandoned buildings -- so why would she go to such a dangerous place? With the local police quickly writing off the death as a tragic accident, Sadie teams up with her quick-witted barista Jules to uncover what really happened to the sweet woman who always ordered vanilla lattes with extra foam.
Armed with cryptic clues from Dorothy's last conversation and hindered by Sadie's mischievous orange tabby Biscotti -- who has a talent for knocking over evidence at the worst possible moments -- the unlikely duo discovers that Dorothy had been investigating secrets that went back decades. As they dig deeper into property records, family feuds, and small-town grudges, Sadie and Jules realize that someone in Maplewood Springs has been hiding a devastating betrayal. But asking the wrong questions could put them directly in a killer's path, and time is running out to prove that Dorothy's death was anything but accidental.
Full of warmth, humor, and the perfect blend of amateur sleuthing, Grounds for Murder is a cozy mystery that celebrates friendship, justice, and the kind of small-town coffee shop where everybody knows your name -- and your usual order. Pour yourself a cup of coffee and settle in for a mystery where the stakes are high, the suspects are close to home, and the truth is worth fighting for, even when it breaks your heart.
