Light Roast Larceny

A Cozy Mystery

Cici Larkin wasn't planning to become an amateur sleuth; she just wanted to figure out her next chapter after an unexpected layoff. Now, her days are filled with mystery novels, misadventures in cooking for her husband, and walks with her two tiny (but mighty) dogs under the Florida sun. She's built a strong community with the retirees surrounding her, and she's fiercely protective of her friends.

When a string of odd petty thefts starts rattling her coastal community, Cici can't help but get curious. Why would someone steal trinkets and items easily missed? It doesn't add up, and Cici's determined to find out why. With the help of a sharp-witted local police officer and fueled by iced coffee and intuition, Cici follows the trail of clues through her tight-knit neighborhood and sandy side streets. But the deeper she digs, the stranger (and more dangerous) the mystery becomes.

Can Cici and her new friend solve the case before things get out of hand? Or will their seaside sleuthing brew up more trouble than they bargained for?

Light Roast Larceny is a feel-good, sun-soaked cozy mystery full of friendship, caffeine, and charm. A perfect read for fans of quirky heroines, small-town secrets, and a touch of danger served with their daily brew.
