Description
Perfect for fans of Cleo Coyle and Lucy Burdette, reporter-turned-barista Lana Lewis is back on the case when a body is dug up in the community garden.
Lana Lewis is brewing up new concoctions at Perkatory, a popular café in Devil’s Beach, when she decides she wants to try her hand at growing her own coffee. She secures a gardening plot in the community garden, thanks to her father and the garden’s owner, Darla. Darla’s list of rules is long, but that doesn’t stop someone from leaving Jack Daggett’s body amongst the gardening plots.
Jack, an environmental activist, had been banned from the garden previously, because of his many fights with Darla about organic produce. Lana promises her boyfriend, police chief Noah, that she’s going to stay out of this case, having been too involved in previous cases. But when she learns that Jack died from an accidental overdose, and Darla is the top suspect because of her shady past, Lana can't help but poke around in an attempt to clear Darla's name.
As Lana dives deeper into the case, she learns that Jack had more enemies than she realized. When Darla turns up dead, Lana has to turn up the heat on her investigation. With Lana on the case, it won’t be long before someone spills the beans to crack this case wide open. But will she able to find the killer before they strike again?

If you're a fan of cozy mysteries with a delightful blend of humor and suspense, then "A Bean to Die For" is the perfect pick! Tara Lush serves up a strong brew of quirky characters, witty dialogue, and a dash of romance that kept me entertained (and much improved the bad mood I was in).
One of my favorite lines from this cozy mystery is: "Coffee and crime make for an interesting blend, don't you think?"
Join amateur sleuth and coffee connoisseur, Maris Grey (admittedly, when I saw the name I thought Maren Morris and Meredith Grey -- anyone else?), as she navigates through a small town filled with secrets, scandals, and of course, plenty of coffee beans.
Like, they had me at coffee...
With twists and turns that will keep you guessing, this book is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a good mystery with a side of humor. Also, great for anyone who has yet to try cozy reads and thinks they might want to. This would be a great start.
"A Bean to Die For" is a delightful and entertaining read that is best read while sipping your coffee. Grab a mug of your favorite brew and dive into this charming mystery!
RATING: 5/5
