About Clues & Coffee

There’s something different about opening a letter.

Not an email.
Not a notification.
A real letter.

The kind you hold in your hands…
the kind you linger over…
the kind that pulls you into a story before you even realize it.

Clues & Coffee was created for that feeling.


The Story You Don’t Just Read… You Open

Every Clues & Coffee series is told through journal-style letters written by the main character—as if you’ve been trusted with something personal.

Not a polished novel.
Not a distant narrator.

A voice.

Real, immediate, sometimes messy…
like she sat down with a cup of coffee and had to get it all out before she lost her nerve.

You’re not just reading her story.

You’re following it as it unfolds.

What she notices

What she questions

What doesn’t quite add up

What she might be getting dangerously wrong

Each letter pulls you deeper into the mystery—one entry at a time.


How the Experience Works

When you order a Clues & Coffee series, you’re stepping into a slow-reveal mystery delivered by mail.

1. Your First Letter Arrives

Within a few days, you’ll receive your first envelope—the beginning of the story.

This is where everything starts:

the setting

the voice

the first hint that something isn’t right

2. The Story Continues Monthly

After that, a new letter arrives each month, for 12 months (or as long as you keep your subscription)

Each one:

builds on the last

reveals new details

introduces twists, suspicions, and secrets

You’ll start connecting things.
Questioning people.
Re-reading earlier clues.

(That’s where it gets really fun.)

3. You Follow the Clues

This isn’t passive reading.

You’re meant to:

notice details

keep track of names

question motives

form your own theory

By the time the final letter arrives…

You’ll have your suspect.

The only question is—
will you be right?


What’s Inside Each Envelope

Every letter is designed to feel like a small, beautiful experience, not just a piece of mail.

Inside, you’ll find a curated set of elements that bring the story to life:

✉️ The Journal Letter

The heart of the experience.

Written in first-person, this is the main character’s latest entry—where the story unfolds in her own voice.


🔍 Clue 

A physical clue tied to the story.

This might be:

a detail you overlooked

something that contradicts what you’ve been told

or a piece of information that changes everything


☕ Recipe Card

A cozy touch inspired by the story’s setting.

Something you can make while you read…
or while you sit there trying to figure out who did it.


📖 Bookmark

A collectible piece tied to the series aesthetic.

Because once you start… you’re going to want to keep your place.


✨ Occasional Extras

Depending on the story, you may also receive:

  • special inserts

  • themed details

  • small surprises that deepen the experience

These are designed to make each envelope feel like something worth opening slowly.

✨ A Golden Ticket

One out of every 50 letters will include a golden ticket. Post a selfie holding the ticket, and tag us with #CluesCoffeeGoldenTicket Then send us an email with the words on the back of the ticket. 


Why This Exists

Clues & Coffee isn’t about rushing through a book.

It’s about:

  • anticipation

  • atmosphere

  • slowing down enough to enjoy a story as it unfolds

It’s for readers who:

  • love cozy mysteries

  • notice small details

  • and miss the feeling of something arriving just for them


One More Thing

The main character doesn’t know everything.

She’s figuring it out as she goes.

Which means sometimes…

she’s wrong.

And sometimes…

you’ll see it before she does.


If you’ve ever wanted to step inside a story instead of just reading it—

this is where you start.
