Clare Cosi's first book makes you want to be there and drink the espresso. The on-going relationships with her ex-mother-law,Madame, her daughter(Joy), her ex husband(Matt) and her hunky oft called upon detective/friend Mike Quinn as well as her baristas make this a Cozy cozy. I want to be part of the crowd sipping espresso at her Village Blend coffeehouse. The who-dun-its are believeable(except for the shear volume throughout the series...)

As a lover of books and a lover of all things coffee, this book was right up my alley. It was a fun read; nothing heavy and yet kept me guessing until the end. I can't wait to try out the coffee recipes too!

A lot of coffee information slows down this book, but it's otherwise a fun cozy.

I really enjoyed this 1st in a series. Cleo Coyle Coffeehouse Mysteries Series books are hard to find.
She also writes under the name of Alice Kimberly for the series of Haunted Bookstore Mysteries....Cute and not sci-fi as it sounds.

A light,interesting read with plenty of background information on coffee. Ended well with enough unfinished personal business to keep you going back for more of the series.
