(2025)
A novel by

 
 
Callie St. Augustine, the owner of the only book cafe in her sleepy southern town, is about to stumble upon a dead body.

Her dog Smokie snoozes in the romance section, her beau Josh builds rocking chairs that don’t rock, and her best friend Maya is always tinkering with some newfangled tea equipment. Callie likes things just the way they are in Honeysuckle Bend.

Until a box of donated paperbacks appears at the cafe. Inside is a notebook that definitely doesn’t belong. The mystery journal will lead Callie to discover the dead body of one of the town’s most prominent citizens.

But the ladies in the dead woman’s bridge club are tight lipped and snooty, the town planner is acting shady, and the bad boy carpenter who worked for her has been spreading rumors. Everybody seems to have something to hide. And the more Callie starts poking around, the less ‘sleepy’ her little village becomes.

As Callie, Josh and Maya get tangled up with the quirky townsfolk, the clock begins ticking. More bodies. More books. And of course, more bubble tea. Will the trio be able to get to the bottom of things before time runs out?

Find out in this utterly addictive cozy full of southern charm, lovable characters, and a tightly woven mystery that will have you guessing until the very last moments. Fans of Ellie Alexander, Tonya Kappes, and Katie Gayle will adore this murder mystery! So, add this to your library now and jump into a lovely world of intrigue and fun.
