    About this ebook

    A dark roast can be deadly…

     

    Lainey Boggins is desperate to report a story that's more interesting than a church bake-off. But sleepy mountain town Aurora Heights is hardly the place for murder and mayhem. The biggest story of the week is the opening of a new cat café, which Lainey reluctantly agrees to cover.


    But when the town's beloved mayor drops dead at the cafe's opening, the town is shocked. His death is ruled an accident, but Lainey isn't convinced.

    Now, Lainey is thrust into a web of lies that she can't untangle. It turns out the jolly old mayor wasn't so jolly after all, and he had a lot more secrets than Lainey bargained for. With the help of Dylan, the cute café owner, and even cuter detective, Nick DeLuca, she's unraveling the mayor's private life and finding out his secrets. But if Lainey isn't careful, she could be next.

      The Duplex

      I moved to Los Angeles to sing. When was this? August? June? I was twenty-nine, and those were shapeless months, when the days blended together and I refused to pull them apart. My landlord was unusually close to her adult son. His name was Jeffrey,

      The night, as most nights, was like a dream. At ten, once I’d fed the dog the last scraps off the stove. Once I’d cursed the cat for scratching up my mama’s antique furniture, then welcomed him back into my arms. Once I’d slicked my hair into a ponyt

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
