When a film crew’s location shoot delivers an actual shooting, Clare Cosi finds herself at the scene of a true crime in this showstopping entry in the beloved Coffeehouse Mysteries from New York Times bestselling author Cleo Coyle.
Only Murders in Gotham, the smash-hit streaming program, is famous for filming in authentic New York locations and using real New Yorkers as extras. For its second season, they’ve chosen to spotlight the century-old Village Blend and its quirky crew of baristas. Shop manager and master roaster Clare Cosi is beyond thrilled, especially when her superb bulletproof coffee lands her a craft services contract for the production.
Madame, the eccentric octogenarian owner of the landmark shop, reveals an old kinship with the star of the show, comedian Jerry Sullivan. Now a Hollywood legend, Jerry frequented the Blend during his early years performing in Greenwich Village comedy clubs. But the past may hold more than nostalgia for Jerry. Suspicious accidents begin plaguing his shoot. Then a real bullet is fired from a stage gun, and Clare becomes convinced something sinister is afoot.
While Jerry’s production moves to exciting new locations, Clare keeps the coffee flowing—and her investigation going—even as a murderer lurks in the wings. But can she root out the rotten player in this Big Apple production before the lights go out on her?
I am a huge fan of Cleo Coyle, and I have LOVED the Coffeehouse Mysteries for years. The characters are like family. They are so delightful, and the stories are always unique, suspenseful, and fun. Keep them coming, Cleo! (Terry Harlow 10:26am March 12)
Cleo Coyle's Coffeehouse Mysteries were the first cozy mysteries that I ever read, and I loved them from the start. The books are always engrossing and entertaining. They actually got me hooked on the genre. I also discovered Cleo's Haunted Bookshop Mysteries, and they're great reads, too. I highly recommend both. -GM (Gemma Mills 3:12pm March 12)
I have enjoyed Cleo Coyle's Coffeehouse series for years. The stories are always so much more than simple mysteries. The writing is excellent. Among the best of the genre. I wish there was a Village Blend coffee shop in my city! (Ellie W. 4:17pm March 12)
