Death Before Decaf: A Java Jive Mystery

Death Before Decaf: A Java Jive Mystery

USA TODAY BESTSELLER â€¢ Caroline Fardigâ€™s captivating mystery novel takes readers behind the counter of a seemingly run-of-the-mill coffeehouse . . . where murder is brewing.
Â
After her music career crashes and burns spectacularly, Juliet Langley is forced to turn to the only other business she knows: food service. Unfortunately, bad luck strikes yet again when her two-timing fiancÃ© robs her blind and runs off with her best waitress. Flushing whatâ€™s left of her beloved cafÃ© down the toilet with her failed engagement, Juliet packs up and moves back to her college stomping grounds in Nashville to manage an old friendâ€™s coffeehouse. At first glance, it seems as though nothingâ€™s changed at Java Jive. What could possibly go wrong? Only that the place is hemorrhaging money, the staff is in open revolt, and Juliet finds one unlucky employee dead in the dumpster out back before her first day is even over.
Â
The corpse just so happens to belong to the cook whoâ€™d locked horns with Juliet over the finer points of the health code. Unimpressed with her management style, the other disgruntled employees are only too eager to spill the beans about her fiery temper to the detective on the case. Add to the mix a hunky stranger whoâ€™s asking way too many questions, and suddenly Juliet finds herself in some very hot water. If she canâ€™t simmer down and sleuth her way to the real killer, sheâ€™s going to get burned.
