Welcome to the Bean Hive Coffeehouse where the coffee is as hot as the gossip!

Light, camera, lattes!

A film production crew is wrapping up a major movie filming in Honey Springs, Kentucky. Everyone is excited. The production crew has brought the bright lights to the tourist town and The Bean Hive has been supplying the production crew with unlimited treats and coffee.

When film actress Daisy Lemon comes in for a taste of the Star Studded Latte being served at the Bean Hive, Roxy Bloom is excited to serve her one. It would be good for promotion for Roxy to get a photo of the famous actress drinking her creation, only Roxy is witness to Daisy's kidnapping.

The Star Studded Latte is now known as the Kidnap Latte, bringing national attention to the Bean Hive, attention that's not necessarily welcome.

With production on hold and Stephen Lemon, Daisy's husband, as the number one suspect, Roxy puts back on her law hat to help Stephen not only clear his name, but find Daisy before Honey Springs is no longer known for the cute, southern, lake tourist town due to the sudden spotlight on the cozy town.

A kidnapped actress? What is going on in Honey Springs, Kentucky?!

A Killer Latte by Tonya Kappes is a marvelous book filled with homespun characters and mysterious happenings.  Ms. Kappes has delivered yet another excellent novel set in her small towns of Kentucky.

What I like

  • The way that Ms. Kappes wrote for the last day shoot of the movie for the first little bit of the book.
  • The sheriff is letting Roxy help with the kidnapping of the actress.
  • Roxy is really into animals, and the kitten that the animal shelter brings by is so cute.
  • Patrick lets her get into the middle of things despite not liking it.
  • Roxy is a still practicing lawyer, besides being a coffee shop owner, which is different from the other cozies that I have read of Ms. Kappes and its a good twist.

What I dislike

There isn’t much that I disliked about the book. I thought it was well thought out and that it had a happy ending.

Five Stars

A Killer Latte by Tonya Kappes is the latest book in her A Killer Coffee Mystery series, and it’s a superb one. I loved every bit of it. I am giving this book a rating of five stars and recommending it to all cozy mystery lovers out there. Oh, and if you like mysteries with a Southern flare, you will love this one as well.

Bonus, this novel also comes with recipes from Ms. Kappes’s recipe box. They all sound amazing. Ms. Kappes has another fabulous book for all of us.
