With fifteen books already in the Coffeehouse Mystery series, one would think that that they might get a tad repetitive. Well, that's definitely not the case here with DEAD TO THE LAST DROP. In this book, we move from New York to Washington and a very special character in the form of the president's daughter makes an appearance in this book. And if that's not intriguing enough, there's also a spotlight on jazz music.

I have to say that I'm really impressed with the originality of this storyline. Not only does it breathe new life into the series, but it gives loyal readers something to be excited about as the Village Blend extends its parameters. Cleo Coyle did such an amazing job with this book. I just love every bit of it.

The secondary characters in this series really made DEAD TO THE LAST DROP. There are a few, but they are so well-done and three-dimensional that I almost didn't want to leave them behind when the book was done. I actually wished we could see more of them in the rest of the series as well. Speaking of seeing more of a character, setting this book in Washington made it perfect for Clare and Mike to see more of each other. I'm guessing that was intentional, but I love the fact that Coyle was able to integrate this into the series since Mike is one of my favorite characters.

If you haven't read this series yet and you're a fan of Cozy mysteries, you need to drop everything and pick up one of these books. I promise you, you won't be sorry.
