Synopsis

When Krissy Hancock and her best friend Vicki decide to open a bookstore café in their new town of Pine Hills, they decide to call it "Death by Coffee," after Krissy's father’s most famous mystery novel. Little do they know how well the name fits . . .

On their very first day of business, Brendon Lawyer huffily takes his coffee . . . to the grave. It seems he had a severe allergy to peanuts . . . but how could there have been nuts in his coffee? And who stole his emergency allergy medication?

Fortunately, Krissy's love of puzzles and mysteries leads her not only to Officer Paul Dalton, but also to many of her new neighbors, who aren't terribly upset that the book is closed on Brendon. But one of them is a killer, and Krissy needs to read between the lies if she wants to save her new store—and live to see how this story ends . . .

I just didn't enjoy this book. The mystery wasn't bad but the characters did weird things and there were holes and inaccuracies and I just couldn't deal with these. The characters and their action weren't believable at all to me. I just couldn't believe anyone would act this way. There were good ele......more
