My entry into the Coffee Community's Coffee & Crime Contest. Prompt: You walk into your usual coffee shop to grab a cup when someone nudges you on the shoulder. "Great you've arrived. Our main suspect." That's when you turn around and notice the yellow duct tapes all over the place. ꧁••••꧂ Charisa McDowell has to have her morning coffee fix at her favorite cafe. Only on this particular day, she gets more than she bargained for. Her ex-boyfriend, who works there, has been murdered. Officer Liam Calhoun is assigned to the case and is determined to uncover the truth. When what happened in the past catches up to her and her husband, the truth might be too much to take. Will his investigation lead to answers or more questions for Charisa? Read to find out! ꧁••••꧂ (In addition to this one shot, an epilogue will be out soon to wrap up Charisa's story).
