Hotter than Coffee and a Killer Brew

Hotter than Coffee and a Killer Brew: A Jenna McGregor Mystery

Willow Thorne

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Brewed Awakenings owner Jenna McGregor just wanted to peacefully serve coffee and pastries to the citizens of Maple Grove. Her hopes are dashed when she finds the body of retired history professor Dr. Patterson behind her shop. The professor’s death leads Jenna and her friends in to a complex mystery of secrets that have been hidden for decades. Can they crack the code before there is another fatality?

Thorne weaves a tale of secret societies, puzzles and corruption in this fictional crime story. The three main characters have a great relationship which provides good banter and the plot is filled with twists and turns. At times, Jenna’s clumsiness and Lisa’s ditziness go a little overboard. But overall, I enjoyed reading this book and encourage other cozy mystery readers to check it out.
