About this series

When Fran moves back to her idyllic beach town to take over Antonia's Italian Café, her family's cafe, she also develops a knack for solving bizarre murders. Each book includes special recipes. From 3x USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR Harper Lin.

 

Box set includes THREE novels in Cape Bay Cafe Mysteries: books 4, 5, and 6 in the series. 

 

Lattes, Ladyfingers, and Lies (Book 4)

Fran is anticipating her trip to Italy with Matty… until a precious diamond ring is stolen from the town's jewelry store and an employee is murdered. Fran suspects the storeowner of insurance fraud, but what if she's wrong? Would her life be at stake again if she butts in on another police investigation?

 

Americanos, Apple Pies, and Art Thieves (Book 5)

It's almost Thanksgiving, and Fran is baking her family's famous apple pies for the café. While pie fever spreads through Cape Bay, a world-famous artist holds a special art show in the town's modest museum in honor of his late mother, who grew up there.

Louis Cliffton's paintings are encrusted with valuable gems and gold. At the opening night, the centerpiece of the show is stolen. When Fran investigates the case, she receives threats, and someone follows her home and vandalizes her café.

What kind of thief would do this? A crazy outsider—or someone from her very own town?

 

Cremas, Christmas Cookies, and Crooks (Book 6)

It's almost Christmastime in Cape Bay, and another murder has everyone in town talking. A despised new drama teacher at the local high school is killed in the school's parking lot. The police arrest a beloved teacher, Mrs. Crowsdale, but everyone else thinks she is too nice to murder anyone. Mike, however, says they have solid evidence that proves she did it.

Sammy is particularly devastated. Mrs. Crowsdale was her favorite teacher and still her hero. Sammy begs Fran to find the real culprit. Fran isn't so sure. Mike would be angry with her for butting in on another case. And what if more danger befalls her? After all, there are some pretty dangerous people in town…
