Espresso and Espionage (Snow Falls Alaska Cozy, #10)

Every secret is harder to hide once winter arrives. After two life-threatening avalanches last winter, all Bethany Lights wanted was a sunny escape. Instead, she spent her summer shelving goods in Snow Falls, Alaska, and helping friends in need. When fiery Alma Mae arrives, seeking answers about her brother‘s mysterious death, Bethany‘s plans for peace evaporate with the fall breeze. It‘s no ordinary case-federal agents have silenced the investigation, local rumors swirl, and Alma‘s temper is infamous enough to rattle the whole town. With Julie overseas and Detective Conrad Spencer locked out of the action, Bethany finds herself the only ally Alma has left. Navigating small-town secrets, hostile agents, and her own doubts, Bethany must decide just how far she‘ll go to protect her community and honor a friendship that feels brand new. Murder may be the story of the week, but community is the heartbeat of Snow Falls.
