Devil’s Beach is percolating with a hot murder case, and reporter-turned-barista Lana Lewis could be the next to get beaned in Tara Lush’s third Coffee Lover’s mystery, perfect for fans of Cleo Coyle and Lucy Burdette.
Laid-off journalist Lana Lewis is thriving as the proprietor of Perkatory, a coffee shop on quirky Devil’s Beach island, Florida. She’s juggling a relationship with police chief Noah Garcia, enjoying the company of her best friend, Erica, and relishing the companionship of her golden Shih Tzu, Stanley. Only problem is her neighbor, Gus, who incessantly uses his leaf blower, disturbing everyone in the neighborhood. Lana has learned to tune it out, but Erica’s rage boils over and she confronts Gus.
 
Then Gus is found dead, killed when his leaf blower explodes. Erica immediately becomes suspect number one. But there are plenty of other candidates as well: Gus’s soon-to-be ex-wife, Honey Bailey, who thinks she’ll be written out of his will; Mickey Dotson and Doug Beck, who were scalded financially after purchasing a pirate-themed tourist cruise business from Gus; and plenty of angry neighbors who’ve had run-ins with him.
 
As the clock ticks down will Lana get someone to spill the beans on the killer so she can clear her friend’s name, or will Erica go to jail for a crime she didn’t commit?

      A Florida coffee shop manager investigates the murder of her neighbor. Things are going pretty well between Lana Lewis and her boyfriend. When she's not supervising the baristas at Perkatory, where residents of Devil's Beach go for a quick caffeine fix, she and Police Chief Noah Garcia spend many pleasant evenings together, sharing tasty meals and watching fabulous Gulf Coast sunsets. Lana even has hopes that Noah will bring her to Tampa to meet the rest of his Cuban relatives. So naturally something has to mess up all this boring comity. In this case, it's the murder of obnoxious Gus Bailey, Lana's next-door neighbor. In addition to alienating his young wife, Honey, who's out to make a name for herself roller-skating on Instagram, by having an affair with a local librarian, Gus pisses off all the neighbors by mowing and blowing early Saturday mornings. The day after Lana's best friend, Erica Penmark, gives him a piece of her mind, he turns up dead, killed in a leaf-blower explosion. His demise naturally sets Lana and Noah at odds. She wants him to rule Erica out as his prime suspect; he wants her to stop trying to prove her bestie's innocence. After the standard behind-the-scenes sleuthing, sly confrontations with witnesses, and requisite acts of mayhem, Lana succeeds in doing just that. Romance spices up an otherwise tepid whodunit.
