It had more of a plot which I couldn't figure out until closer to the end. It does end as a partial cliff hanger with Matt saying he is going to remarry and his mother saying "over her dead body". I love Matt's Mom. What a strong character she represents. I was glad to see this book end. Now let me explain. I love all of the coffee facts thrown into these books. This one had more than usual and it just made me want to get up and make a pot of coffee! Even though I am rereading this series, I am enjoying it so much as I have forgotten a lot of the plots. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

My reactions
This is book six in the Coffeehouse Mystery series, and I’m really enjoying them. I do think that Clare’s insistence on investigating on her own is a bit over-the-top, but it wouldn’t be a cozy mystery without an intrusive amateur sleuth. I do enjoy the information on coffees (even though I stick with grocery-store blends myself), and this book really delves into foodie culture which had me salivating in places.
I also like that the romance with detective Mike Quinn is heating up, despite Madame’s (Clare’s mother-in-law and co-owner of the shop) efforts to get Clare back with her son Matteo.
Not a fan of the cliff-hanger ending, but that’s a pet peeve of mine. Still, I found it deliciously entertaining – a perfect “escape” during these unsettled times.
Rebecca Gibel does a fine job performing the audiobook. I really love the voice she uses for Madame. ( )
