When a barista competition comes to town, Torte's favorite pastry chef finds herself sleuthing once againâin the next installment of Ellie Alexander's beloved Bakeshop Mystery Series, Mocha, She Wrote! Summer has ushered in a new season in the charming hamlet of Ashland, Oregon. Torte is bustling with tourists taking in star-drenched shows at the Elizabethan, setting out to hike in the surrounding Siskiyou Mountains, and sampling the bakeshopâs summer lineup of raspberry lemon tarts and mint mojito cold brews. Jules and the team are buzzing with excitement when they learn that Andy, Torteâs head barista, has been selected to compete in the West Coast Barista Cup. The prestigious competition draws coffee aficionados from up and down the coast to Ashland. The winner will not only claim to be best-in-brew, but also be awarded a hefty cash prize. Andyâs nervous about his chances, but Jules is confident that her star barista will shine. However, things take a grim turn when head judge Benson Vargas spits out Andyâs first offering, claiming it to be the worst thing to ever touch his lipsâand hours later, is found dead clutching Andyâs creamy latte. Suddenly Torteâs favorite barista becomes the number one suspect. Thereâs no roast for the weary. Jules will have to sleuth out whodunit to clear Andyâs name and catch a killer before she ends up with one foot in the grounds.
