Summary

Clare Cosi used to manage the historic Village Blend coffeehouse…until she opted for quieter pastures and a more suburban life. But after ten years and a little friendly cajoling from the owner (a fresh pot of Jamaican Blue Mountain was all it took), she's back to the grind. With a sprawling rent-free apartment directly above the Village Blend, her cat Java by her side, and plenty of coffeehouse redecorating ideas, Clare is thrilled to return to work. Until she discovers the assistant manager unconscious in the back of the store, coffee grounds strewn everywhere. Police arrive on the scene to investigate. But when they find no sign of forced entry or foul play, they deem it an accident. Case closed. But Clare is not convinced. And after the police leave, there are a few things she just can't get out of her mind… Why was the trash bin in the wrong place? If this wasn't an accident, is Clare in danger? And… are all detectives this handsome?

Interesting and educational!

The narrator was great, I thought she brought the story to life. I loved the characters and the storyline and found that I surprisingly learnt a lot about coffee! Overall I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Unsure

I kind of liked this, but kind of didn't. The characters are okay, but not great and I didn't really get drawn into their story. I also found the whole book a little too 'Go USA, USA #1' for my liking. If you don't mind that kind of thing you'll probably enjoy the book more than I did. The narrator does a good job, so that was a plus. Really not sure I'll get any of the other books in the series based on this one.

It's a romance novel

It's about a woman drooling over any man that's in her eye - line. Somewhere in the background there is a possible crime but that's just a sub-plot. I gave it six chapters but could not stomach another steriotype description of a chiseled body or roman nose or whatever.
