ONCE UPON A GRIND

From New York Times bestselling author Cleo Coyle comes an enchanting new entry in her "satisfyingly rich" Coffeehouse Mystery series.

Coffeehouse manager Clare Cosi and her merry band of baristas give their coffee truck a ""Jack and the Beanstalk"" makeover for a Fairy Tale Festival in New York's Central Park. Clare’s coffee hunter ex-husband contributes a bag of African beans with alleged magical properties, and his octogenarian mother entertains customers with readings of the grinds. Clare remains skeptical about Matt's ""magic"" beans, until she receives a vision that helps her find a young model’s body in the park's woods.

The police dismiss “sleeping beauty” as the victim of a drug overdose, but Clare uncovers evidence that points to a list of suspects—from a New York Giant to quite a few wicked witches—and a cold case murder that reaches back to the Cold War.

Now Clare is really in the woods with a dangerous predator on her heels and an investigation that leads from a secret Prince Charming Club right back to her own NYPD detective boyfriend. If she doesn't solve this mystery, those magic beans predict an unhappy ending.

Includes wicked good recipes!
