Murder Over Coffee

Iced lattes, awkward exes, and one unexpected murder—just another summer in Silver Pines.


Summer’s on the way in Silver Pines, and things should be heating up in all the right ways—sunny days, fresh blooms, and steady progress at The Mill, where Clare Garner is finally catching her breath after two back-to-back murder cases. Her custom furniture orders are flowing in and she’s learning to navigate the comfortable, if complicated, rhythm of life between Jackson Barrett and Blake Catalano—two kindhearted men who both know her better than she sometimes knows herself.


But when a coffee world insider winds up dead mid-sip at an iced coffee tasting hosted by the Sunrise Sips Coffee Club, the summer vibe curdles—and Clare is once again caught in a swirl of secrets and suspicion.


With the rumor mill spinning faster than a ceiling fan in July and secrets tucked behind every hedgerow, Clare finds herself juggling gossip, romance, and a growing list of suspects. Between poring over clues, dodging well-meaning matchmakers, and trying not to spill sawdust on her favorite sundress, she’ll need all her intuition—and maybe a few iced lattes—to figure out who’s hiding what.


Because in Silver Pines, the charm’s brewed just right—but the secrets tend to spill over like a clumsy barista.
