Murder at the Museum Gala: A Coffee House Cozy Mystery

By: Cane, Andi

Maplewood Museum's most despised security guard drops dead after dessert.

When the coffee froth and glitter settles, the only thing missing is the museum's prized artifact...and everyone's alibi.

Hattie Calder planned to spend the evening serving coffee, not stumbling into chaos. But when whispers of theft, blackmail, and betrayal echo through the gala hall, the barista with a talent for noticing what others miss becomes the prime candidate to untangle the truth.

Armed with her quick wit, her friend Liam's tech savvy, and her cat Beans' uncanny knack for being in the wrong place at the right time, Hattie digs into Maplewood's polished surface to find the cracks beneath.

Councilwoman Dolores Grant claims Pike was "snooping" before the gala ended, and Greg Benson insists Pike threatened him about museum conspiracy theories. With false leads, and every smile masking grudges, or town secrets, someone is willing to kill again to hide the truth.

If Hattie doesn't solve the mystery soon, the next person connected to the museum gala might not live to tell their story.
