A shocking hit-and-run in front of her Village Blend
coffeehouse spurs Clare Cosi into action. A divorced, single
mom in her forties, Clare is also a dedicated sleuth, and
she's determined to track down this ruthless driver who ran
down an innocent friend and customer. In the meantime, her
ex-husband Matt, the shop's globetrotting coffee buyer,
sources some amazing new beans from Brazil. But he soon
discovers that he's importing more than coffee, and Clare
may have been the real target of that deadly driver. Can
ex-husband and wife work together to solve this mystery--or
will their newest brew lead to murder? Includes recipes.

Dropping in for a quick THANK YOU to everyone for leaving such kind comments.

I'll drop back soon to answer specific questions, but I wanted to check in and tell you all how much I'm enjoying your comments today. Good luck to all of you on winning the signed book and NYPD mug, and be assured I'll be having many more fun giveaways all through the month of August!
Cops and coffee - they just go together, don't they?

Hi Cleo, I'm new to your Coffeehouse Series, but I'm sure they will be my favorite in no time. I absolutely love the play on words in the titles and it's true that the name on the cover draws a person's interest in picking up that book to buy. I'm sure you already realize that since you have been so successful with your books. So put my name in the sugar bowl and maybe I'll be lucky enough to be scooped up. (Rosemary Simm 9:00pm August 7, 2012)

I particularly enjoyed the Decaffeinated Corpse instalment of the series, because it was interesting to read about the cultivation of coffee plants. I'm sure the new book will be just as good. (Clare O'Beara 8:45am August 8, 2012)
It's a fun series! (Maureen Emmons 9:22am August 8, 2012)
I work as a barista in a cafe, and I often have a "trying" day as I deal with the customers and their special coffee drink requests, and quirky moods. It's always a treat to come home after a long day, (especially when my feet and back are yapping) and just settle in to read about Claire and her crew and all of their adventures. The Coffeehouse mysteries have been a lifesaver, and I'm looking forward to losing myself in the next installment! (Pink Rose 4:41pm August 8, 2012)
I read A Brew to a Kill in less than a day - How am I going to be able to wait until December for the next book????? (Susan Roberts 7:16pm August 8, 2012)
