Deja Brew

Accidentally summoning a talking dog was not how Louise "Lou" Danvers wanted to end her first day in her new town. Moving a thousand miles after inheriting an apartment in her Mom's hometown was one thing. Finding out that she comes from a family of witches was another. Surprise? Still reeling from the new information, Lou finds herself at odds with the owner of the local coffee shop. No big deal, right? Until the owner shows up dead, right outside Lou's front door.

Now the prime suspect, Lou's got to hurry and solve the murder before she's tried in the court of public opinion. When the victim turns out to have ties to a drug ring, the whole case gets more complicated. Especially when the same drugs are found in Lou's new apartment. Then the victim's will is read, and Lou inherits the coffee shop from the same person she's accused of killing.

Between the talking dog, her new magic lessons, gaining a family, and the ridiculously handsome, single-father ex-cop who seems to pop up wherever she goes, Lou's got more than enough to keep her busy. When the police chief decides she's guilty and will go to any lengths to prove it, Lou has to hurry and figure out who actually 'dunit' before she's locked up for good.
