A mysterious diary, a handsome stranger, and a sweet secret! Lora Weaver is not in the habit of spying on people. It's rude. It's unseemly. It's an invasion of privacy. It's also almost impossible to avoid in a crowded café when a handsome stranger sets to scribbling secrets into a journal mere inches away from her croissant and mochaccino glacé. Secrets she has no business knowing. Which is just as well since the scribbles are in French and her skills in the language verge on lost-in-translation territory. Not that anyone watching would know that. Anyone watching would think Lora knows plenty. Which Lora soon realizes when her new life in a new city plunges into a mélange of suspicious strangers, backstreet barters, and sweet secrets. Find out how Lora Weaver met bestie Camille Caron and future co-boss Laurent in The Demi-Tasse Début, a Lora Weaver mini-mystery prequel. Pull up a chair and hold on to your mochaccino, this one could get sticky: ) Praise for The Lora Weaver Series: "More gauze than grit...more Stephanie Plum than Philip Marlowe." - The Thrilling Detective Website
