Mocha Mayhem: A Small Town Culinary Cozy Mystery (The Cozy Café Mysteries Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 266 ratings

A seaside wedding...the perfect catering job for The Cozy Café.

Except for the body!

Wanting to put the café firmly on the map, Scarlett didn’t imagine things could go so horribly wrong when she took the last minute job. Along with her sisters, she’s once more embroiled in a case where people aren’t who they say, and murder appears to be an inconvenience.

When money has too much power, families are in turmoil, and a close friend hides their true feelings, Scarlett has no idea how to untangle this web.

Even the sheriff struggles to get people to talk, and knowing that the culprit is in their midst makes things decidedly uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, George, the cat, is unimpressed to have a visitor in the house and quite happy to let everyone know about it!

The Cozy Café mysteries are light, cozy mysteries featuring a family-focused café owner who discovers she’s a talented amateur sleuth—and a magnet for animals.

Enjoy a sweet treat recipe in every book.

The Cozy Café Series:
Book 1 Sweet Saboteur
Book 2 Candy Corruption
Book 3 Mocha Mayhem
Book 4 Berry Betrayal
Book 5 Deadly Desserts

"Great read! I have read Books 1-3 in the Cozy Café Mystery Series. Nice series that keeps you entertained while getting to know the characters, enough intrigue to keep you stimulated, and so wonderful to have a good read without any bad language or smut. A clean read as well as a nice mystery in the story line." ~ ME

"I love Scarlett!! What can go wrong at a wedding? Well, let's just say that Scarlett, her sisters and the sheriff find themselves with another mystery to solve. So many lies, twists, and turns that made this my favorite book in this series. Anxiously awaiting book 4." ~ Renee

“The sheriff and Scarlett have their handles full trying to unravel this mystery. I could not put it down.” ~ Bernadette Cinkoske

There is a twist that I did end up liking. What can go wrong at a wedding? Well, let's just say that Scarlett, her sisters and the sheriff find themselves with another mystery to solve. So many lies, twists, and turns that made this my favorite book in this series. Anxiously awaiting book 4." ~ Renee

I know Violet's story needs to be told and it is coming, but Scarlett's story is a little more involved than even I knew. Did you suspect anything like this?

    I am enjoying his series very much. The series is well written and easy to read. The characters are very likable. The affection between the sisters and Olivia is heartwarming and the actions of George are very special. The mystery keeps you guessing to the end. The only drawback is a lot of grammar errors. It could use a lot more editing. I recommend these books to anyone who enjoys a good mystery without vulgar language and graphical sex scenes.

    The Finch sisters, mainly Scarlett, solve another mystery with George’s help. I wondered how long it would be before Nate asked Scarlett out. A great read with a new character to enjoy....Alex

    I just love the Finch girls and the usual characters in the series! Scarlett and her sisters step in as replacement caterers at a wedding where nothing is as it seems. The mystery had plenty of turns to keep me guessing. I recommend this to anyone looking for a good read! I received an ARC and this is my honest opinion.

    Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Kept me enthralled from the beginning to the end. The Finch Family great adventures. Everyone should read all Three Books in this series. Can’t wait for the next one!!

    The Finch girls, who I have really grown to like over the course of the three books in this series, have once again found themselves in the middle of a murder. Scarlett just can't help herself and begins amateur sluething once again, much to the consternation of the town sheriff. Secrets are revealed as the story unfolds, leaving Scarlett feeling betrayed. Will she let this experience make her bitter, or will she be able to move forward with the help of her sisters? Will love be in her future? Looking forward to seeing where the Finch girls find themselves next.
