Letter Description
Letter Description
The woman at table three died halfway through her coffee.
Nobody in Seagrass Landing thought much of it at first.
Lila Devereaux was dramatic. Sharp-tongued. Rich. The kind of woman who made enemies as easily as she ordered espresso. But three days before her death, she leaned over and whispered, "Someone is trying to kill me."
Now, even though everyone is calling it natural causes, I feel the need to dig a little deeper.
I'm journaling my investigation, and sending it to you, when I can, so if something happens to me, there is a record. Of course, I'll include some goodies for you, since you're now my partner in crime.

Welcome to Clues & Coffee Snail Mail
Welcome to Clues & Coffee
As the mystery unfolds, one thing becomes terrifyingly clear:
Lila Devereaux didn’t die of natural causes.
She was murdered.
And the killer is still sitting inside that café pretending everything is normal.
If you love cozy mysteries, small-town secrets, addictive cliffhangers, and the feeling of opening real mail that pulls you into another world…
This is your next obsession.
But fair warning:
Once the first envelope arrives, you’ll never look at your mailbox the same way again.
The mailing process:
Your first letter will be physically mailed within 3-5 days of your first payment. Thereafter, you'll be billed on the 15th of the month, and your letter will be mailed on the 20th.
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, linger over, and 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, and become immersed.
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.
