Macchiatos and Misdeeds

A town with secrets. A mural with a message. A barista caught in the middle. When a beloved local artist is found dead beneath her latest mural, Harbor Cove reels from the loss-especially Emma Hart, the owner of Bean There Café and the artist's longtime friend. But when Emma finds one of her café's exclusive macchiato cups at the crime scene-and the mural's center mysteriously painted over-she realizes this was no accident. As cryptic sketches begin arriving at the café and whispers of a long-forgotten land deal surface, Emma finds herself unraveling a decades-old conspiracy linked to Harbor Cove's founding families. Someone is covering their tracks. And they'll do anything to keep Emma from following Ivy's trail of art, clues... and buried truth. With the latte art competition heating up, tensions rising in the arts council, and danger closer than ever, Emma's about to learn that some secrets can't be kept in the dark. Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with clever heroines, charming seaside towns, and just the right shot of danger.
