When Emma Hartley trades her corporate law career for a café in small-town Oregon, she expects lattes and fresh starts—not murder at her counter.

After discovering wealthy property developer Marcus Blackwood dead in her café, Emma becomes the prime suspect. With her reputation on the line and a handsome detective warning her to stay out of it, Emma must use her legal skills to investigate before she's arrested for a crime she didn't commit.

But uncovering the truth means exposing a web of corruption, fraud, and secrets worth millions. Someone is willing to kill to protect those secrets—and Emma might be next.

Armed with her investigative skills, her loyal best friend Claire, and an endless supply of coffee, Emma races to unmask the killer before another body turns up at the Moonlight Café.

A Fatal Roast is the first book in The Moonlight Café Mysteries, a cozy mystery series featuring a clever amateur sleuth, a charming Oregon coast town, and just the right amount of coffee and crime.
