A Brew of Blunders is the ninth 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.

Opening night of Murder by the Decades was supposed to be a triumph. Instead, it ends in real tragedy—and Parker Hayes finds herself once again pulled into a mystery with more twists than a pretzel at intermission.

First, the cafe's AC gives out. Then her apartment flunks inspection. Now she’s crashing with Nellie Pritchett, whose house rules are longer than a Broadway playbill. But when the historic theater is threatened with closure, Parker must find a way to save it. Between serving up Iced Alibis and managing Major’s antics, she dives into the investigation—questioning dramatic divas and frazzled crew members.

Because in this production, the drama isn’t confined to the stage.

A Brew of Blunders is a charming, clue-filled cozy mystery with theatrical flair, eccentric suspects and one feisty sleuth who won’t let the curtain fall on justice.
