Bean There, Done That — Sandra Balzo

When Maggy Thorsen's ex-husband's trophy wife shows up at her door, pleading for help, Maggy could have said no. But perhaps her maternal instincts overpowered reason -- after all, Rachel was barely older than Maggy's college-age son. Or maybe she felt compassion for teary wife number two having suspicions of an affair. Either way, Maggy finds herself stuck in the middle of a marital mess not her own when Rachel's body washes up on the shores of Lake Michigan and her cheating ex, Ted Thorsen, is suspect number one.

Maggy knows Ted is a hound dog, but he's not a killer. And they have a son to protect. So in between whipping up lattes at her coffeehouse, Uncommon Grounds, she takes it upon herself to dig through Ted's dirty laundry -- again. But will a double caramel macchiato be liquid courage enough to go after a killer who vows Maggy won't live long enough to brew another cup?
