Coffee with a friend is the best therapy!

The experience of listening to this story made me realize how much can happen over a cup of coffee. It was so much more of just a tale of the lives of many people. It proves how much a cup of coffee brings people & their lives together.

Too much Description and not enough Content

Would you try another book from Cleo Coyle and/or Rebecca Gibel?

I've been reading this series but this book as turned me off. Not sure I want to continue if the rest of them are like this. It's almost like she didn't have enough for the mystery so she filled it with fluff descriptions. I am so tired of the minutes and minutes of description and lack of the mystery.,

Which character – as performed by Rebecca Gibel – was your favorite?

Madame

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

no...not enough content.

Fun mystery centered around coffee & Fashion Week!

I really enjoy these coffee shop mysteries because they have the fun of cozies with a greater depth of characterization then most cozies, and they are filled with so many interesting facts about coffee, New York, and whatever subject matter that each book is centered around. In this third in the series, the glamor and competitiveness of the fashion world becomes the center focus.

The Village Blend coffee shop is hosting a party for Fashion Week near Bryant Park. All the rich, famous and beautiful people have come to mingle and drink expertly blended coffee. But when a cup of Clare Cosi's coffee is shared by two men and one drops dead and the other one is rushed to the hospital barely breathing, Clare's friend and favorite barista is arraigned for the murder. Once again Clare and her ex-husband and business partner go to work to prove his innocence. In this book, her rich , French mother-in-law is also enlisted by Clare because of her influence in this fashion world business set.

The fashion world and entrepreneurs of other businesses all become potential suspects making the mystery interesting right up until the final solution. Clare and her family also become more familiar and interesting in every book. This is definitely one of my favorite cozy mystery series!

good clean mystery

entertaining and clean. I could listen to this with my teenage kids in the car. I know a lot of people were complaining about the amount of time she spends describing coffee, but I enjoyed that and I am not really a coffee drinker.

Super Fun

This book was super fun to listen to as it combines my love of cozy mysteries and a fashion story line.

Great 'lil mystery!

Nice little story, cute characters. It's a great listen to pass the time with. Great narrator too. I liked it very much!

Really Enjoyed

Good story line, Good character to reader involvement. Good performance of individual characters and emotions.

no clue whodunnit or me until the last 30 minutes

nicely done. I usually get clues long before the end but not this time.

More Coffee, Please!

I am enjoying this series. It makes my daily walks more interesting, since there really isn't much variety in where I walk. (We live on a dead end road...) The stories do make me wish I still had my Espresso machine. Anyway, thanks for the entertainment on my walks!

Great Story

Loved the hook up with Mateo, though temporary. The writing style is great. On to the next one.
