Trouble is brewing. Paige Palmer spent her entire adult life studying to earn her doctorate in Philosophy, only to be passed over for the job of her dreams. Escaping academia, the wounded young woman wants to leave her painful past behind and experience the real world. She takes a job as barista at a quirky and cozy shop; The Roastery on 33rd, feeling somehow drawn to the charming spot in the quaint New Hampshire town. The wooden interior walls, worn with age and saturated with the dark, rich aroma of cappuccinos past, beckon to unsuspecting pedestrians, enticing them to enter and indulge in a sip of decadence in the form of a strong brew. But there are secrets in the Roastery that have been percolating for decades. When a body is discovered in a secret room in the building, Paige’s impatient and tough-as-nails boss becomes increasingly convinced that an in-house investigation will be necessary to catch the culprit. The team of would-be sleuths – Paige, and the Roastery’s eccentric owner, Margaret Hayward, along with a ‘starving artist’ who could use a bit of distraction as he attempts to grind out the opening lines of his debut novel – team up to do some investigating without quite realizing what they’re getting themselves into. They need to hurry. As clear as the rising hum of an espresso machine at work, the clock ticks away precious seconds as a ruthless killer lurks in the shadows, ready to strike again.

Cold-brewed Murder. Barista, Paige Palmer has escaped the drudgery of academia and is settling into what she hopes will be a drama-free, ordinary life in the small New Hampshire town of Dunforth. Things go awry for her, however, when a stranger comes in for coffee and leaves her with a puzzling declaration that leads to a decades-old missing person case. Paige shrugs off the stranger’s odd proclamation, but her situation becomes a bit more complicated when the body of the formerly missing person is found a few days later. She’s convinced that the stranger is the killer and that he’s playing a game of cat-and-mouse with her that she can’t avoid. With the encouragement of her bold, but secretly tender-hearted employer, coffee-aficionado Margaret Hayward, and the crime chasing novelist, Rohan Chowdhury, Paige finds herself falling down a new rabbit hole. A story of a family plagued by lies, unrequited love, and criminal conspiracy begins boiling over in the tiny town – and a motive most bitter threatens to reveal itself.

The road to murder... Is paved with good intentions . It usually isn’t good news when a sleepy little place like Dunforth, New Hampshire gets international attention. When a long-haul trucker wins millions from a scratch-off ticket, it’s no surprise that he’s slated as the first guest on a new morning talk show called The Espresso @ Eight, hosted by disgraced-journalist Riley Robertson. Projections for viewership were modest – until the millionaire took a few sips of his coffee and dropped dead on live television. Whispers of the tragedy flow into the Roastery on 33rd not long after, and barista Paige Palmer can’t help but listen. Things take a decidedly dangerous turn when it comes to light that the bag of coffee beans was sold to the station by Margaret Hayward, Paige’s boss. Margaret insists on her innocence in the matter, believing it to be one mystery better left in the hands of the police. Paige isn’t convinced, and neither is British transplant Rohan Chowdhury. As The Roastery on 33rd begins training new staff, the million-dollar question hangs in the air like the aroma of a freshly-prepared espresso. Did the morning coffee contain nothing but cruel coincidence, or a bitter intent?

Are the neighbors merely cold-hearted… Or cold blooded? Quiet, unassuming pastry chef, Mallory, surprises the staff of the Roastery on 33rd by moving into a posh new building. In an effort to try and fit in with the well-heeled residents who are now her neighbors, she enlists the help of graduate-turned-barista, Paige, and Paige’s boyfriend Rohan. The trio hand delivers fresh hot cappuccinos door to door, to defrost the rather cold-mannered residents, in the midst of a wicked snowstorm. It seems as though Mallory’s optimistic plan might just be working…until a body is discovered. Just when things seem like they couldn’t possibly get any worse, residents begin receiving accusatory letters that make it fairly clear that the killer just might still be in the building. The sleuthing friends can’t let the trail go cold, no matter what the weather, but will they find the killer in time? Find out in this caffeine-fueled Cozy Mystery!

Tis the season… To be sleuthing. It’s holiday time at the Roastery on 33rd, and owner Margaret Hayward has decreed that there shall be no more sleuthing by her staff in the New Year. But like cream on a rich cappuccino, the New Hampshire snowfall hides many surprises and when a missing person case comes to her attention, barista, philosopher, and amateur sleuth, Paige Palmer, is drawn to the mystery like a moth to a flame. Margaret and Paige’s significant other, aspiring writer and blogger extraordinaire, Rohan Chowdhury, become ensnared in a playful bet that soon turns bitter, and it’s clear that everyone needs a break. They all go on retreat to a lodge on the Merrimack River that seems untethered in time. It’s a place where the yuletide is perpetual, and the worn walls of timber percolate with whispers of conspiracy, which suits Paige’s purpose – finding a missing patriarch - perfectly. With tensions high and macchiatos warm, every passing hour seems to make a Christmas miracle evermore unlikely. Will the coffeehouse sleuths solve the mystery and rekindle the holiday spirit? Find out in this deliciously caffeinated Cozy Mystery!

An open book… Is not always what it seems. As the aroma of coffee hangs thick in the air, fact and fiction collide in the sleepy town of Dunforth, New Hampshire. When a bestselling author is arrested during a book reading at the Roastery on 33rd, the case seems open-and-shut. He immediately claims that he was the one who killed the woman that was found in the tall grass, clutching a bouquet of snapdragons as the White Mountains loomed all around. But philosopher-turned-amateur-sleuth-and-barista, Paige Palmer, is skeptical. Years of study taught her to always question a conclusion that seems too forgone to be true… and a decade of reading the author’s novels alert her to the fact that something deeper has to be afoot. Teaming up with her reluctant boss, and her boyfriend-in-waiting, Rohan, Paige is determined to discover what actually happened to the victim, and to find her killer. With a paperback in one hand and a fresh brew in another, it seems a race against time to unravel an ending most bitter.

When murder happens… You can’t just eat popcorn and watch. A night at the movies soon spells catastrophe – and our intrepid sleuths find themselves closer to the chaos than usual. Margaret, Rohan, and Paige had just settled themselves into their seats with buckets of buttery popcorn, when a gunshot sounded off like a thunderclap in the theater. A man plunged to his death and a woman’s scream pierced the darkness. With no one coming forward as a witness, and a bullet that seemed to have vanished, the staff of the Roastery on 33rd find themselves with few leads to pursue. They think that the tragedy at the movie was the end of things, but soon, they realize they’re in the second act of a case that has struck before… and threatens to strike again. Like a shot of a coffee most bitter, things seem much more heated than they could ever have anticipated. Can the sleuths figure out who killed who before the credits roll, once and for all?

Sometimes the need to win… Eclipses the point of winning. A disaster that has been brewing for more than half-a-century is heading straight for the Roastery on 33rd, and the staff have dubbed the storm Hurricane Hayward. When roastery owner Margaret Hayward’s lifelong nemesis claims she’s planning a visit to the humble little town of Dunforth, New Hampshire, Margaret is beyond suspicious. The two women have been lifelong rivals and Margaret fully intends to use the Roastery to illlustrate her success. As Margaret plots her triumph, with a macchiato in hand, another mysterious case finds its way to the front counter of the Roastery. A wealthy socialite has passed under most peculiar circumstances – perhaps at the hands of the same person who stole her precious collection of antiques. The case takes a surprising turn when the evidence seems to point to a relative who peddles snake-oil veiled as a miracle weight-loss coffee. Barista Paige Palmer, whose own world seems to be crumbling before her very eyes, scrambles to gather clues and solve the puzzle before the killer seems ready to strike again. One thing is certain…life is about to change for the staff at the Roastery. Will it be a dire change? Find out in this exciting finale of this caffeinated Cozy Mystery series!
