Early Praise for The Regulars of Amanda Lexie
In J. J. Hanna’s quirky mystery novel The Regulars of Amanda Lexie, a coffee shop’s customers are tied to a cybercrime sting. … Humor is generated through people’s reluctance to make too much small talk; most prefer to evade direct questions by shifting focus to Amanda, remarking on her ever-changing, dyed hairstyles. The fact that everyone in the lane is connected to the case, without their immediate knowledge, dials up the absurdity. … A lighthearted, entertaining mystery novel, The Regulars of Amanda Lexie fuels its cat-and-mouse caper with routine coffee-shop stops.

Bravo to debut author J. J. Hanna on her original and highly entertaining The Regulars of Amanda Lexie. A perfect cozy thriller about a barista and her ‘regulars’, it’s a quick, fun read that kept me turning (or rather, swiping) pages, not wanting the story to end. It’s a great twist on crime fiction, highlighting the way an ordinary person, Amanda the barista, truly makes a difference by recognizing and caring for her customers. Can’t wait to see what J. J. Hanna comes up with next!

A great and fun book that reminds the caffeine addicted that anything can be forgiven if there is a good cup of coffee involved. A terrific read from a young, promising author. The characters were likable regardless of which side of legal they fell on.
