A Perk of Trouble

Welcome back to Honey Springs, Kentucky—where the Bean Hive Coffeehouse serves up coffee, community, and more than its fair share of crime.

When a nationally known author arrives in town to headline a prestigious writer’s retreat, Roxanne Bloom is more focused on crafting perfect lattes than getting caught in his plot twists. But when the author turns up dead—in a scene straight from one of his books—Roxy’s peaceful coffee-slinging days are once again interrupted.

With the town buzzing and the retreat guests under suspicion, Roxy dusts off her sleuthing skills to uncover the truth hidden between the pages. Because in Honey Springs, secrets percolate fast—and someone’s trying to cover theirs with murder.

A Perk of Trouble is a heartwarming, twist-filled mystery steeped in Southern charm and brewed with all the things you love—fur babies, friendship, fresh-baked treats, and a heroine who never gives up.

Come for the coffee. Stay for the mystery.
