In the latest installment of the Maggy Thornson mysteries, coffee shop owner Maggy confronts a number of mysterious deaths and has an important decision to make about her future with Sheriff Jake Pavlik in The Important of Being Urnest, which Publishers Weekly calls ""Balzo's witty 10th mystery… has loads of eccentric suspects and juicy motives, and the clues are wrapped in lively conversation.”
Maggy Thorsen returns in this brand-new coffeehouse mystery, where the death of her ex-husband’s colleague leads to events that hit Maggy close to home in more ways than one. Was the oral surgeon's death an accident, suicide or something even more disturbing? Even as Maggy tries to piece together the facts, her beau, Sheriff Jake Pavlik, hits her with another bombshell. Can the coffeehouse owner possibly pull herself together long enough to sort out the truth?
