About this ebook
A blast from the past gets Nashville PI and coffeehouse manager Juliet Langley in hot water in this explosive mystery from the USA Today bestselling author of Death Before Decaf.
As a newly minted private eye, Juliet Langley has sworn to leave homicide to the authorities, limiting the scope of her investigations to cheating spouses and dirty business partners . . . like her ex-fiancé, Scott O’Malley. When Scott shows up unannounced at her coffeehouse, Java Jive, Juliet’s first instinct is to punch him in the nose. Her second is to turn down his desperate plea for help with a case that’s way too dangerous for her liking. But when Scott drops dead before her eyes, Juliet isn’t going to wait around for someone else to clear her name.
It’s only a matter of time before her tumultuous past with her ex-fiancé comes out, so Juliet teams up with her ex-boyfriend, police detective Ryder Hamilton, to figure out who poisoned Scott. They soon confirm that Scott was involved in an illegal scheme that’s definitely grounds for concern.
Just as romance is finally beginning to percolate for Juliet and her best friend, Pete Bennett, she has no choice but to head back to her hometown to seek out the truth. And she’ll need help from the locals to find the real killer—otherwise her happily ever after could easily end up including an actual ball and chain.
Caroline Fardig’s thrilling Java Jive mysteries can be read together or separately:

LOVED this book! This is a fun and very entertaining mystery with plenty of angst as Juliet encounters her past boyfriends - one of whom dies in front of her. And just her luck, but a lazy and minimally competent detective is assigned to the case. He'll be able to wrap it up quickly once he can prove that Juliet or BFF Pete did it. With her new PI license, Juliet begins investigating the case to prove her (and Pete's) innocence. Before long, she and her pals are embroiled in one madcap escapade after another - from "stealing" her own property to spending time with the the taxidermy animals from hell. Fans of the genre will love this book. This is a stand alone novel, however its so good that you really owe it to yourself to read the whole series. The author is on my must read authors' list.
