Book #9 THE BARKS AND BEANS CAFE MYSTERY SERIES
REBECCA'S REVIEW
Barks and Beans Cafe employees were poised to enjoy their booth at the local Renaissance Faire when tragedy struck. What was supposed to be a jousting exhibition turned fatal for one of the riders; a man whose reputation was already in shatters was carried off on a stretcher from something other than the thrust of a spear. As is turned out, "He didn't die of an overdose. His tox screen showed he was poisoned."
Cafe co-owner Macy Hatfield's vibrant curiosity demanded that she think back over everyone and everything that she had seen that day . . . and there were plenty to choose from. A great big distraction was her boyfriend, Titan McCoy, who was in town visiting Macy and her brother Bo . . . however, Titan was the best kind of diversion, especially dressed up as an heroic knight. As it turned out, Macy gets caught trying to play heroine and ends up breathing a sigh of relief when her knight in shining armor comes to the rescue.
Another great story where it seems that just about everyone has a reason to kill . . . and Macy has more than enough reasons to make a life changing decision.

Book Nine in the RWA Daphne Award-winning series!
Welcome to the Barks & Beans Cafe, a quaint place where folks pet shelter dogs while enjoying a cup of java...and where murder sometimes pays a visit.
The Barks & Beans booth at the Renaissance Faire is hopping, since Macy managed to talk her muscled redhead brother into donning a kilt for the occasion. Even better, Macy's boyfriend Titan has come for a visit, so she can't wait to peruse the shops and watch the shows with him.
But when a well-rehearsed joust takes a fatal turn, Macy becomes a key witness. Can she believe her eyes, or did someone cloak their ruthless intent with smoke and mirrors? A late night stakeout seems the only way to determine what really happened...but someone scarier than the plague doctor is lying in wait for Macy, and this time, the damsel might not find a way out of her distress.
Join siblings Macy and Bo Hatfield as they sniff out crimes in their hometown...with plenty of dogs along for the ride! The Barks & Beans Cafe cozy mystery series features a small town, an amateur sleuth, and no swearing or graphic scenes.
