About A Roast of Revenge: A Cafe Crimes Cozy Mystery Book 10
A Roast of Revenge is the tenth book in the Cafe Crimes series—a clean culinary cozy mystery featuring amateur sleuth and former true-crime podcaster Parker Hayes in the charming small town of Magnolia Grove. Parker Hayes thought she could handle the heat—until reality show chaos rolls into town along with the swaggering Blackwell brothers. Between fueling half the county with Smoked Lattes, dodging cameras in her cafe, and watching Hazel get starry-eyed over a new production gig, she’s feeling more charred than a forgotten pork chop. When one of the Blackwells ends up dead—and someone’s trying to skewer Parker’s dear friend Clyde for the crime—Parker starts poking around for the truth. Joined by her handsome partner-in-sleuthing, Whit, and her loyal dog, Major, she’s determined to prove that while the cameras might lie, the clues don't. Because if there’s one thing she’s learned, it’s that she can always smoke out the secrets in Magnolia Grove. A Roast of Revenge is a cozy mystery cooked low and slow with juicy secrets, bold suspects, and a sleuth who won’t rest until justice is served—preferably with a side of Texas sheet cake.
