Publisher's Synopsis
From Courtrooms to Coffee Grounds: When a big-city Lawyer turns into a small-town sleuth, no mystery stays buried for long!
When I traded my high-powered law career in the big city for a small-town café in Mapleview, I thought my days of solving mysteries were behind me. Boy, was I wrong! It all started when the contents of a 25-year-old time capsule vanished into thin air. As an alumna of Mapleview High, I couldn't just sit back and watch this puzzle go unsolved. So, I did what any self-respecting amateur sleuth would do: I assembled a team of the most curious, clever, and caffeine-addicted folks in town. There's Jasper Quinn, a retired police detective with a mind as sharp as his wit; Benny Alvarez, a journalist who can sniff out a story faster than I can brew a cappuccino; Carla Sands, a librarian with a knack for uncovering secrets hidden in the stacks; Eliza Hargrove, a podcaster who can crack any digital code; and Doc Brewer. He might be a vet, but he can figure out motives better than anyone. Together, we formed The Closed Case Club, and let me tell you, we're a force to be reckoned with! As we delve deeper into Mapleview's past, we find ourselves tangled up in a web of old grudges, scandalous revelations, and surprises that some would kill to keep under wraps. But with a little humor, a lot of heart, and an endless supply of coffee from my café, we're determined to get to the bottom of this mystery before the culprit strikes again. So, grab a cup of joe and join me, Molly Ray, and The Closed Case Club as we crack our first case in The Case of the Stolen Time Capsule. It's a cozy mystery filled with charm, friendship, and the irresistible allure of a good puzzle.
