The Coffeehouse Mysteries, Book 16

De: Cleo Coyle

Narrado por: Rebecca Gibel

From Cleo Coyle, the New York Times best-selling author of Dead to the Last Drop, comes a gripping new entry in the Coffeehouse Mystery series.

The perfect proposal leads to a chilling cold case. Coffeehouse manager Clare Cosi sheds tears of joy when her NYPD detective boyfriend surprises her with an engagement ring. But her bridal bliss is put on hold when a chilling mystery brings a wave of deadly danger to those she holds dear.

After everything Clare and Mike have been through, they deserve a little bit of happily ever after. So when Mike decides to put a ring on Clare's finger, Clare's eccentric octogenarian employer is there to help. She donates the perfect coffee-colored diamonds to include in the setting and the name of a world-famous jeweler who happens to be an old family friend. But while the engagement is steeped in perfection, the celebration is not long lived.

First, a grim-faced attorney interrupts their party with a mysterious letter bequeathing a strange hidden treasure to Clare's daughter. Next, the renowned jeweler who designed Clare's ring is found poisoned in his shop. Both events appear to be connected to a cold-case murder involving a sunken ship, an Italian curse, a suspiciously charming jewel thief, and a shocking family secret. With deadly trouble brewing, Clare must track down clues in some of New York's most secret places before an old vendetta starts producing fresh corpses. With recipes to die for, including how to make cold brew coffee at home!

Wonderfully Entertaining!

A delightful story. Emotionally poignant in places. Laugh-out loud worthy in other places. Just fantastic.

Great Listen

Loved the characters, I interesting plot twists. Also like the production flues, where the narrator would announce the grammatical errors with the flow of the story line. Best book yet.

Good book with a few errors

This is a well thought out and action packed mystery with hints of romance. Denise Swanson and Mary Higgins Clark fans will enjoy. I was disappointed to hear two errors in the recording around the 35 minute and 2 minute remaining mark. Overall great buy!

Improved story line!

The past few novels have been a bit trite but this one was an exciting new adventure! The recording production included a few unedited narrator comments about the script, but those actually made me laugh.

interesting read

I loved the story and can't wait until the wedding. Did anyone else notice how the narrator corrected herself 4 times?

Great as usual

These light-hearted novels always delight. And the facts about coffee and coffee brewing are always fascinating.

I enjoyed this book.

The book was good easy listening. Followed a good storyline that kept me interested. The characters are likeable and entertaining. The author has a good sense of humor.

Please check the editing of the audio. There several times the performer was checking words (Fontana v Fortuna) and (she knew instead of something else) that was left in the audio book. This is mostly towards the end of the book.

Overall good book I'm checking now for the ones I didn't read yet!

Needs more editing

What did you love best about Dead Cold Brew?

There are three spots in this recording where the narrator stops narrating in order to comment on typos in her script.

dead cold brew

I loved this book. lots of adventure and excitement. I didnt want to put it down

Matt & Claire have to save Madame!

I'm glad that this book is set back in NYC with all the characters we know & love. There is a lot of Matt & Claire duo sleuthing in this book, which I also love! The two of them are polar opposites & it's fun to enjoy their banter as they investigate. If you love this series you will enjoy this offering as well!
The one thing I could do with less of are the bedroom scenes with Claire & Mike. It seems like there's a lot more of it lately with each book. Like, we get it, Claire and Mike are in love, but unlike other cozy mysteries this puts nauseating love scenes at the center. It's just too much for a book which isn't a romance genre.
