Murder at the Maplewood Manor

A Coffee House Cozy Mystery

By: Andi Cane

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When a billionaire’s assistant drops dead clutching a cup from Brewed Awakening, Hattie Calder’s cozy coffee shop becomes the scene of Maplewood’s biggest scandal.

A friendly note on the cup—her signature smiley and heart—turns from charm to evidence overnight, painting her as the town’s prime suspect.

Determined to clear her name, Hattie follows a trail of gossip, greed, and poisoned secrets to the doors of Maplewood Manor, where eccentric tycoon Graham Larken offers her an impossible deal: help solve his assistant’s murder, and earn ten million dollars in the process.

With her sarcastic sister Sam, tech-savvy best friend Liam, and her loyal cat Beans, Hattie dives headfirst into a maze of motives—conniving small town players, bitter heirs, and one very unlikable victim. Every clue brews more suspicion, and every red herring moves the pieces closer to home.

As lies unravel and loyalties are tested, Hattie learns that justice—like coffee—is best served strong.

And in Maplewood, the truth always leaves a bitter aftertaste.

the automated reading

mispronounced words made some parts hard to follow. sounded unprofessional. would rather have a human reading the book. humans have tone and intonation.

AI really spoiled the book.

The book had an uphill battle with AI, which included flat delivery, mispronouncing words, and reading out punctuation. Sad for the listener and author.
