Two series are on their way — one comes with clues in a small-town coffee shop, the other with a gossip site that never sleeps. Here's what's brewing on Maggie's desk.

One Star Short

Maya Novak just wants her mother to stop nagging and her friend to get her $20 back. So she takes a barista job at Spilled Beans, a tiny coffee shop in Haverlock, Ohio, where the previous barista died in a fall everybody wants to talk about.

Then Maya finds a clue sewn into her apron. Soon she's trading gossip with the regulars, cracking a conspiracy hiding in plain sight, and racing a very short deadline.

Cozy, funny, and just twisty enough.
