    About this series

    “Witty…There are loads of eccentric suspects and juicy motives, and the clues are wrapped in lively conversation.”—Publishers Weekly
     
    The choice of an antique silver coffee urn as the final resting place for elderly Celeste Bouchard's ashes might seem a cruel joke. After all, the wealthy boutique owner was taken ill and died while daughter Hannah was off having lattes at Uncommon Grounds. But Maggy Thorsen, the coffeehouse’s owner, has more pressing things on her mind: a jailbreak and subsequent shoot-out has forced her main squeeze, Sheriff Jake Pavlik, to take refuge with her.

    Maggy is pondering her decision about marriage—but it’s hard to think about when there’s still an escaped convict on the loose…
