Hotter Than Coffee and a Killer Brew

Jenna McGregor Cozy Mystery

After a year of slinging lattes, sidestepping sabotage, and solving the occasional murder, Jenna McGregor was hoping for a season of smooth brews and zero body counts. But when a local professor turns up dead behind her café, she’s once again in the center of Maple Grove’s latest scandal.

With her (maybe) psychic best friend Lisa, retired special-ops neighbor Mildred, and a very skeptical (but frustratingly handsome) police chief, they uncover a trail of secrets leading to a suspicious puzzle club, a buried archive of incriminating documents, and a scandal involving the towns founding families.

In Maple Grove, appearances are charming—but danger brews just beneath the surface. And someone’s about to learn that Jenna won’t back down, even when the truth could get her killed.

Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with quirky sidekicks, slow-burn tension, and small towns with big secrets.

My Review:

 A customer of Jenna’s is found dead behind her café. Even after being cautioned by the attractive police chief, Joe, Jenna and her friends Lisa and Mildred start their own investigation. Anyone who knows Jenna knows she can’t resist a mystery.

Jenna’s investigation uncovers many clues that kept me in turmoil as I tried to figure out what was going on and where the case was headed. Their search for a killer revealed many secrets—secrets that many people wanted to keep hidden and would probably do whatever it takes to protect.

I enjoyed another adventure with Jenna and her friends in the third book of the Jenna McGregor Cozy Mystery series, Hotter than Coffee and a Killer Brew. I loved the relationship among the three friends and how comfortable they were with each other.

As each clue was unveiled, Hotter than Coffee and a Killer Brew drew me in further and kept me turning the pages. The mystery and suspense alone were enough to keep me hooked for more. To find out what mysteries lurk beneath the town of Maple Grove, I am eager to read the upcoming book in the Jenna McGregor Cozy Mystery series.

For another fantastic mystery, I strongly advise all fans of cozy mysteries to get a copy of Hotter than Coffee and a Killer Brew right now!
