Brewing Up Bones

Welcome to the Bean Hive Coffee Shop where the gossip and coffee are HOT!

Fall has settled over Honey Springs, Kentucky, painting the lakeside town in cozy hues of amber and gold. But for Roxy Bloom, owner of The Bean Hive coffee shop, the annual Neewollah Festival brings a chilling new flavor: murder.

When national social media influencer Marlowe Lannigan is found dead in Lake Honey Springs—a twist made even more perplexing by her lifelong fear of water—the town is steeped in suspicion.With quirky barista Birdie Bebe becoming the prime suspect after her distinctive purple scarf is found near the scene, Roxy, a former lawyer turned amateur sleuth, must trade her espresso machine for an investigation board.

From a hidden "burner" phone packed with secrets to the cutthroat world of rival influencers Tilden and Addison battling for a million-dollar tourism contract, Roxy uncovers a bitter feud built on lies and betrayal.

With her sharp-tongued Aunt Maxi, the town gossip columnist, and a loyal schnauzer named Pepper by her side, Roxy must untangle this web of online deception and small-town secrets. Can she clear Birdie's name and expose the real killer before Honey Springs's charm is forever overshadowed by scandal and its festive atmosphere turns deadly for good.
