Grounds to
Kill (Latte, Espresso, Cappuccino & Murder Mystery #1) by Wendy Roberts
Blurb:
Barista Jen Hanby's coworkers give her a hard time for
bringing coffee and pastries to a homeless man who sits outside her café—but
she has a secret. The scruffy man is her father.
She's also hiding the little matter of why her palm itches. But how can she explain that her hand has a mind of its own and writes messages from the beyond? Right. That'll get her Employee of the Month.
When she finds herself scrawling your boyfriend is cheating on you! to herself on the bathroom mirror, she immediately dumps the guy. But then his little fling—who just happens to be her half sister—turns up dead, and suddenly Jen's homeless father is the prime suspect.
Jen knows he is being framed and must take matters into her own hands to protect him. But will anyone believe that the crazy old man is innocent? Or that his spirit-writing daughter holds the truth?

My review:
Murder, mystery, and a bit of the paranormal. Jen Hanby has a
gift? Though she normally writes with her right hand her left hand has a mind
of its own and sometimes writes things that Jen has no idea where it comes
from. The left hands comments are always true. Jen is just a barista trying to
make do. Her father is a former cop who is suffering from schizophrenia and
living on the streets. Her half-sister lives down the hall and has been
screwing Jen’s boyfriend (the left hand told her so). Soon after she dumps the
cheating bastard her half-sister ends up dead and her father is being framed
for it. Jen, her gal pals and Mitch the hunk from the coffee shop are going to
do whatever it takes to find the truth.
Grounds to
Kill is a thrill ride from page one. You just can’t put it down.
