A dead body, a career threatened and a life in danger is not something even coffee can solve.

Greer Roberts is living her best life with her cat Miles for company and running her bookstore with the help of her seventy-year-old assistant in a picturesque small town called Lakes End. Her dream starts unravelling when she discovers the body of a local business owner on her way to work on a wintery Monday morning.

Inspector Alba Mauzer, Lakes End’s newest resident and in charge of the first murder the town has seen in twenty years, struggles to trust her inexperienced colleagues and a disinterested partner.

Working together, they try to unravel the tangle of relationships within a small town with overly helpful neighbours, donuts and coffee to assist them.
