The Midnight Macchiato Murder: A Mooncat Roasters Mystery

In the quirky town of Ravenwood, Maddie Vance runs the kind of café people depend on when they cannot sleep, cannot stop thinking, or just need one safe corner of the world to breathe. At Mooncat Roasters, the espresso is bold, the lights stay low, and the regulars know better than to ask too many questions. But when one of Maddie’s most eccentric customers leaves behind a leather-bound journal packed with dark, poetic “curses,” the late-night calm starts to crack.

Then Arthur Pendelton, the town’s coldhearted zoning board director and the journal’s favorite target, turns up dead.

Now the police are circling, Bea Hale looks dangerously guilty, and Mooncat Roasters may be next in the line of fire. Maddie knows Bea is many things, but a killer is not one of them. To save her customer, protect her café, and uncover what really happened, Maddie has to dig into Ravenwood’s grudges, gossip, and long-buried secrets before the truth disappears into the steam.
