Espresso and Espionage — Wendy Meadows

Bethany Lights thought autumn in Snow Falls would be the perfect time for a break after a long, perilous winter and too many overtime hours at O'Malley's Department Store. But when Alma Mae Ferns, a stubborn Arkansas woman, storms into town convinced her brother's untimely death is foul play, Bethany is drawn straight back into mystery.Federal agents shut the case and neighbors want peace, but Alma's refusal to leave and a string of odd incidents—from missing medication to a suspect who seems to be everywhere at once—force Bethany to investigate against her better judgment. With her closest friends out of reach and the community relying on her, Bethany must use every bit of resourcefulness she has to keep Alma safe and find the truth hidden beneath the fall leaves.As the nights grow colder in Alaska, Bethany's instincts—and her heart—tell her there's more brewing than coffee at Snow Falls café.Sometimes justice is just one cup away.
