Publisher's summary

There's trouble brewing at the Village Blend. Business is booming--but Clare's customers are starting to die. Soon after stopping at the coffeehouse, a regular jumps to her death in the subway.

Refreshingly delightful! I

Not sure what I expected, but the title grabbed me, and as a coffee lover, I couldn't resist. Expertly written and very well narrated. I learned a lot about coffee and architecture 😊

Great series so far!

This is a fun series so far. I love the story teller too. She does great voices and is clear and easy to understand. Can’t wait to listen to the next one.

Good

This is the 2nd book of the series, I'll keep listening to them. I like the story line, just a couple things jumped out at me. 1. In the beginning of this book, the word s*l*u*t* is used over and over and over. Must be said at least 15-20 times. It was kind of surprising. Also, in both books, the author interchanges the name 'Matteo' and 'Matt', for no rhyme or reason. For some reason, it just *really* annoys me. Maybe I just don't understand why it's done. But again, I liked it over all.

Somebody really likes coffee

Cute little mystery. Kind of gave away the murderer the first time they are mentioned. But fun none the less.

Good coffee book

The narrator is very good. So is the story line, however this is not my style of book I usually listen to. I listen to this book because a friend recommended it to me. For me there was not enough action and humor. The author and narrator are both very talented.

Agreed...Too much going on...

I don't know what's worse - how Claire discusses coffee info at all the wrong moments or how there were too many things going on for me to care about. Claire's passion for properly made coffee is more like preaching, and some of the themes in this book were just weird instead of edgy. Save your credit. I couldn't get but two-thirds of the way through it before I gave up.

Great writer but sad

I started reading this series from the backend then came around to the front, loved the latest book and the first. This book, while well written, and a good mystery left me sad which wasn’t in keeping with the tone of the other two books .

Great story

Great with multiple twist and turns to maintain suspense and keep the listener guessing as who the murder is.

Good but

I have listened to all of her books and I really enjoy them the performer reads beautifully. It is great with all the characters. I found this one good but just a little too disturbing it’s a little creepy and it made me sad. But I love her character development and I love all of the other books this one was just not my favorite
