Death by Coffee by Alex Erickson

3.0

Amusing and fun read. Krissy is the daughter of a famous author and her best friend Vicki is being pressured to be an actress by her acting parents. To get a chance to be themselves, Vicki goes to a small town and gets Kris’s to come start a bookstore/coffee shop with her. The first day the store is open, a businessman from across the street comes in to get a cup of coffee, returns to his office and dies. Krissy about swoons over the hunky policeman who comes to ask about the coffee and it turns out he likes her. krissy does have an annoying habit of shutting everyone and everything out when she gets to thinking about something.
She and Vicki both have unruly cats, although Vicki’s is the store mascot since he is less evil minded than Krissy’s. Although Trouble does manage to live up to his name. Krissy’s vengeful cat is Misfit and she is convinced he’s out to get her.
Krissy has apparently always gone for solving mysteries, even with a maximum amount of embarrassment and she won’t stop now.
