I confess I got carried away writing these mysteries. So much so that some of them escaped the nano format and turned into mini stories (sorry! My enthusiasm for cursed cafés, letters that arrive fifty years late, and cats who know far too much got the better of me). This book is like that first sip of coffee in a neighborhood café: it burns your tongue just a little, wakes up forgotten secrets, and when you try to close it... you're already on page 142, wondering whether your shadow has always had a life of its own. What will you find inside? The cake that vanished before tea time (and left a note from the deceased husband). The scarf that unraveled lies (literally). A barista who reads your future in coffee foam (spoiler: it's not always good). And a whole slice of mysteries that are solved before the submarine cools... but whose shadows follow you all the way to the last sip. Perfect for: Coffee addicts (and lovers of well-told gossip). Fans of the paranormal with a side of freshly baked pastries (biscuits, rolls, buns... all of that). Perfect for you, if you suspect your bookstore, your baker, and even your favorite hat might be hiding something strange. P.S. I'm not responsible if, after reading this, you start eyeing your coffee cup... or your cat... with suspicion. Go on, dare to take a bite! Thoooough... it might be poisoned. Don't say I didn't warn you.
