A Retreat Most Bitter
(2022)(The fifth book in the 33rd Street Roastery Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Summer Prescott
Tis the season…
To be sleuthing.
It’s holiday time at the Roastery on 33rd, and owner Margaret Hayward has decreed that there shall be no more sleuthing by her staff in the New Year.
But like cream on a rich cappuccino, the New Hampshire snowfall hides many surprises and when a missing person case comes to her attention, barista, philosopher, and amateur sleuth, Paige Palmer, is drawn to the mystery like a moth to a flame.
Margaret and Paige’s significant other, aspiring writer and blogger extraordinaire, Rohan Chowdhury, become ensnared in a playful bet that soon turns bitter, and it’s clear that everyone needs a break.
They all go on retreat to a lodge on the Merrimack River that seems untethered in time. It’s a place where the yuletide is perpetual, and the worn walls of timber percolate with whispers of conspiracy, which suits Paige’s purpose – finding a missing patriarch - perfectly.
With tensions high and macchiatos warm, every passing hour seems to make a Christmas miracle evermore unlikely.
Will the coffeehouse sleuths solve the mystery and rekindle the holiday spirit?
