Mystery | Holiday | Mystery Cozy
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!

Re: Once Upon a Grind
My favorite is Cinderella. I always rooted for her and for
the shoe to fit!
(Jennifer Ingman 11:20pm December 5, 2014)
The Nightmare Before Christmas - Sally is really a princess in
a patchwork dress.
(Tava H 4:21am December 6, 2014)
Mine is Cinderella too. I remember the last birthday I had with my dad they had Cinderella put on the cake so I think of him when I see Cinderella.
(Jennifer Beck 12:29pm December 6, 2014)
Sleeping Beauty would have to be my favorite.
(Ashley C 12:30pm December 6, 2014)
I always loved Cinderella. I suppose because the hardworking
kindhearted gal gets her prince.
(G. Bisbjerg 3:23pm December 6, 2014)
Beauty & Beast.... Not only does Beauty/Belle value
family & knowledge more than fashion, but she also looks
beyond the appearance of the Beast to see the goodness
beneath his awkward and scary exterior. And that the
Beast, for all that he knows he will never find release
from his curse without Belle's love, never forces himself
on her and always takes her "no" as "no."
(Katharine Armbruster 7:41pm December 6, 2014)
I love Fairy Tales :) One of my favorite fairy tales is Snow White
(Holly Loch 7:43pm December 6, 2014)
My favorite is Beauty and the Beast.
(Mary C 9:00pm December 6, 2014)
My two favorite fairy tales are Beauty and the Beast and the Ugly Duckling.
(Kai Wong 10:38pm December 6, 2014)
My favorite is Fiona from Shrek.
(Ginger Hinson 2:22am December 7, 2014)
When I try to think back to Fairy Tales, the one that I like
would have to be Sleeping Beauty. Not only is it slightly
scary, but it's healthy ( she gets to eat part of an apple
), and then gets woken up by a kiss from her Prince
Charming. Who else wouldn't LOVE to be woken up by a kiss
from their Prince Charming after falling asleep?? Even
though you said that you snore, I don't think the Prince
would mind. He'd still find you beautiful!! Your latest
book sounds like your best book yet, as well as your
recipes. You've really outdone yourself on the recipes this
time, and I think that they would almost be worth the reason
to get your book!! Personally, I love the story, and the
recipes would be a bonus!! The cover to your book is
terrific, as always!! Have a wonderful Christmas, and all
the best in the New Year!!
(Peggy Roberson 10:01am December 7, 2014)
My favorite fairy tale is Beauty and the Beast. She learns to see people for who they are, not what they look like. Would we all be so lucky!
(G S Moch 12:26pm December 7, 2014)
Cinderella stories are my favorite.

It is Cinderella. She had to do all the housework to make everybody else happy and contented and yet still was able to find time to dance at the ball. Her prince came looking for her and low and behold, there she was drinking coffee and baking cookies. What more could anyone ask for with a happily ever after. Thanks for the recipes and have a wonderful Holiday with you and yours.
(Rosemary Simm 4:31pm December 7, 2014)
I have two favorite fairy tales. They are Beauty and the Beast and the Ugly Duckling.

My favorite fairy tale is Cinderella.
(Gladys Paradowski 12:35pm December 8, 2014)
Does Mulan count? Loved her bravery.
(Suzy F. 8:14am December 8, 2014)
I love Cinderella and always have. I love all the different remake that are made.
(Leslie Waters 9:32am December 8, 2014)
Cinderella is my favorite. She is beautiful inside as well as
outside.
(Leona Olson 7:27pm December 8, 2014)
Elisa from the story of the wild swans, who suffers to save
the lives of her brothers by knitting shirts from nettles
and remaining mute until her task is done--this one comes
from Grimm and was also retold by HC Anderson and Andrew
Lang
(Janet Martin 10:05pm December 8, 2014)
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
(MaryEllen Hanneman 10:33pm December 8, 2014)
I have always enjoyed BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.
(Mary Preston 4:30am December 9, 2014)
I would certainly say that Sleeping Beauty's Aurora is my favorite fairytale
and lead character. Have been in love with the story since I was a young
girl.
(Lindsey Champine 7:25am December 9, 2014)
The story I read over and over as a child was the Little House. I loved it when she moved to the country... and then my life mirrored that!
(Margo Sue Bittner 7:37am December 9, 2014)
I loved a more obscure one - Snow White and Rose Red.
(Janet Morrissey 7:47am December 9, 2014)
My favorite is Cinderella.... I guess I really hated those
household chores as a child.
(Alicia Farage 7:55am December 9, 2014)
The Princess and the Pea
(Tonya Hundley 8:03am December 9, 2014)
I like off the wall fairy tales, ones that have been twisted lol. :)
(Debbie Carney 8:10am December 9, 2014)
I think my favorite would have to be Snow White or
Cinderella...2 books that I used to carry around when I was
younger.
(Kathi Dugas 8:13am December 9, 2014)
I love most fairy tales! One of my favorite TV shows right
now is Once Upon a Time. They do fairy tales right! I love
Cinderella because it's one of the first fairy tales I saw
at the movies.
(Christy Maurer 8:19am December 9, 2014)
The Legend of the Cherokee Rose (a Cherokee Indian legend(fairy tale))
(Carolyn Hankes 8:20am December 9, 2014)
I love Beauty and the Beast , because Belle is so sweet. Cinderella too,
especially the movie version with Drew Barrymore ;)
(Kelly Overend 8:35am December 9, 2014)
Beauty and the Beast is a favorite. That library !! Being
transformed by love !! (But, really - I love Fractured
Fairy Tales from the old Rocky and Bullwinkle the most). It
is fun to read what other people like, too. Thanks.
(Harriette Harra 9:29am December 9, 2014)
My favorite fairy tale is Beauty & the Beast! I love books and
phantom of the opera and this fairy tale has both aspects in
it.
(Diana Qureshi 9:34am December 9, 2014)
I love Sleeping Beauty.
(Linda Kleback 9:40am December 9, 2014)
Cinderella comes to mind first. I agree with Harriette that the Fractured Fairy Tales on Rocky and Bullwinkle were the best of all.
(Barbara Tobey 10:00am December 9, 2014)
Beauty and the Beast because like Belle, my head is stuck in a book as
much as possible! Spreading joy! Now there is a difficult feat in today's
harsh world but one that is do strive for!!
(Sue Gilot 10:35am December 9, 2014)
It would have to be Beauty and the Beast.
(Kelly Ballenger 10:37am December 9, 2014)
My favorite fairy tale is Cinderella.
(Kathy Morrison 12:41pm December 9, 2014)
My favorite fairy tale is The Nightengale. I would love to hear the little bird sing!
(Sandy Fielder 12:41pm December 9, 2014)
My favourite fairy tale is Peter Pan. What's not to like
about pirates, adventure, flying and fairy dust?
(Debbie Price 12:52pm December 9, 2014)
Cinderella. She did more than her share of the work, never gave up and came out a happier and better off than those who tried to keep her down.
(Loretta Sullivan 1:18pm December 9, 2014)
Cinderella. Because who doesn't have an evil stepmother and ugly stepsisters --
in one guise or another?
(Lynn Speer 1:19pm December 9, 2014)
My all time favorite is also Cinderella! Prince Charming is in every young
girl's dream or at least he was in my dreams of happily ever after!
(Polly Muragin 1:26pm December 9, 2014)
Cinderella is my favorite with Prince Charming lovingly leading her to their
castle to live happily ever after!!
(Polly Muragin 1:30pm December 9, 2014)
I love all of the fairy tales but Rapunzel is my favorite
(Darlene Carroll 1:31pm December 9, 2014)
i know it's not a "traditional" fairy tale but to be
honest, I would go with Shrek. It has the same aspects of a
fairy tale but I think the message is so much stronger - to
be yourself and that love can still find you.
(David Hans 2:11pm December 9, 2014)
Beauty and The Beast is mu favorite. Hope and forevermore
ending.
(Sharon Berger 2:14pm December 9, 2014)
The princess in "The Wild Swans". I love that she is the
heroine and saves her eleven brothers from the curse of the
evil queen.
(Sharon Fisher 3:11pm December 9, 2014)
The Twelve Dancing Princesses...I love the story of hidden walls, and jeweled trees and mysterious journeys...
Thanks for the contest..
Marilyn [email protected]
(Marilyn Watson 4:29pm December 9, 2014)
Sleeping Beauty. Thank you for this opportunity. I love this book and all your books! It would be awesome to win a signed copy and this beautiful necklace.
(Robyn Konopka 4:51pm December 9, 2014)
My favorite is Cinderella. My first watch was a Cinderella
with a blue case for safe keeping.
Marilyn Collins
(Marilyn Collins 6:00pm December 9, 2014)
Mine would be Cinderella too. In 1961 I got a Cinderella watch with a figurine of her for Christmas :) I still have them :)
(Patty Degmtich 6:59pm December 9, 2014)
Cinderella is my favorite. She had perseverance in the face of obstacles. Love all your books.
(Karen Tome 6:59pm December 9, 2014)
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs----I just love those
dwarfs!
(Sue Farrell 7:04pm December 9, 2014)
Snow White is my favorite of all times.
(Sharon Baker 7:28pm December 9, 2014)
I enjoy fairy tales, and love the new take on them by such TV shows as Once Upon a Time and Grimm. I think my favorite may be Beauty and the Beast...
(Kathleen Kaminski 7:32pm December 9, 2014)
I love Beauty and The Beast but I also like The Grimm fairytales. Just
finished "Once Upon a Grind" it was great as always. I loved the addition of
the magic beans and the fact that Clare and Mike's relationship is going to
the next level.
(Michelle Reed 9:12pm December 9, 2014)
I like Sleeping Beauty.
(Linda Kish 9:18pm December 9, 2014)
Great cause,
(Catherine Myers 10:24pm December 9, 2014)
My favorite fairy tale is Cinderella. I've always loved that
book.
(Barbara Thompson 10:25pm December 9, 2014)
I love little red riding hood. I vividly remember my dad sitting on the side of
my bed and telling me the story in Czech, hoping I would go to sleep. Then
when I was an adult I fell in love with Trina Schart Hyman's rendition of the
story.
(Victoria Fisher 10:26pm December 9, 2014)
My favorite has always been Cinderella. I was happy when
her stepmother and stepsisters were overlooked by the
Prince. Such a happy ending that the shoe fits and sweet
Cinderella get to go live forever with her Prince.
(Mary Brandis 10:28pm December 9, 2014)
My favorite is Cinderella. Nothing like the dream of meeting the perfect guy who will do anything to find you. It has mystery, romance, magic, and a happy ending! And shoes!
(Chelle Martin 10:33pm December 9, 2014)
The Princess an the Pea is one of my favorites and I think of
it every time the mattress spring hits me in the back.
(Darlene Peterson 10:36pm December 9, 2014)
Cinderella was always my favorite.
(Julie McDonough 10:37pm December 9, 2014)
Love Snow White!
(Hope Clippinger 10:43pm December 9, 2014)
I am right in there with you----Cinderella is my favorite. 😄
(Linda Osborn 10:50pm December 9, 2014)
Snow White. Love those 7 dwarfs. Judy
Dee
(Judy Dee 11:07pm December 9, 2014)
Not quite a fairy tale, but I grew up reading The Princess and the Goblin (and its sequel, The Princess and Curdie) by George MacDonald. No fairies, but plenty of magic!
(Barb Wiesmann 11:08pm December 9, 2014)
I grew up in Germany and of course the big thing was Grims fairytales. I
loved Hanzel and Gretel, and snow white and rose red. Snow White and
Rose Red is nothing like the snow white that we know and love, but most of
the stories were scary. I also loved Heidi which is not a fairytale but I
believe that was the very first book I read.
(Gabi Eagon 11:17pm December 9, 2014)
Mulan is our favorite family fairy tale! She's powerful, pretty, and brave. She fights for what she wants and inspires others.
(Sally Chong 11:17pm December 9, 2014)
Cinderella because this was the first fairy tale I heard as a little girl. Plus, I
just love those little mice that help her do her chores .
(Pamela Brown 11:44pm December 9, 2014)
Greetings, everyone! It's Cleo here again, dropping back to
say that I'm continuing to enjoy learning what fairy tales
are you favorites--and even *why* they are. As a writer, I
find this especially fascinating, and I appreciate your
taking the time to tell me. I wish you all the best of luck
in the drawing--and for the New Year. May your holidays be
bright!

Silly Spell-check! It's Pamela Brown not Pamela's Town. Just sayin!
(Pamela Brown 11:51pm December 9, 2014)
SNOW WHITE. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND THANKS FOR THE GIVEAWAY!
(Shelley Summers 12:05pm December 10, 2014)
I would have say Cinderella. It is nice to see someone who
very much deserves a happy ending to get one. It is not an
easy thing to take care of everyone else, wheather it be your
elderly parent or parents. But in doing so it is very easy to
forget to takecare of yourself and learn to once in a while
treat yourself to a little magic.
(Sheryl Field 12:06pm December 10, 2014)
I would have said my favorite fairy tale is The Little Mermaid. However, after watching Maleficent I have a new favorite. To see how she was before, is quite the tale. Congrats on the release Cleo!
(Christine Arcidiacono 12:15pm December 10, 2014)
Cinderella would be my favorite. I've always believed any thing is possible
and am a romantic at heart. Probably also helps that my name is Cindy!
(Cindy Davis 12:51pm December 10, 2014)
I am not sure if it qualifies as a fairy tale, but my favorite is the Princess Bride. Fairy tale and satire in one.
(Cheryl Myrick 12:54pm December 10, 2014)
My favorite fairytale is Beauty and The Beast because it demonstrates that one may fall in love based of how someone truly is on the inside,and not caring how they look physically. This fairy tale has depth, and relates the stark truth about true beauty.
(Joanne Kocourek 12:57pm December 10, 2014)
Cinderella
(Dianne McVetty 1:04am December 10, 2014)
So many great fairy tales. Mine is Sleeping Beauty. Thanks Cleo!
(Valerie Ford 1:16am December 10, 2014)
I love the cover. Can't wait to read inside.
susan gannon
(Susan Gannon 6:35am December 10, 2014)
I just recently rewatched Sleeping Beauty and fell in love all over again. I
then watched Malificent and really enjoyed that take on the fairy tale.
(Linda Kuzminczuk 6:42am December 10, 2014)
Although probably not considered a fairy tale by adults, I just loved THE LITTLEST ANGEL as a child...still do! Angels are their own special kind of fairies.
(Deb Muzik 7:47am December 10, 2014)
My favorite is The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
(Margaret Rushton 8:05am December 10, 2014)
The Cobbler, great story of gratitude!
(Karen May 8:28am December 10, 2014)
My favorite is beauty and the beast. LOVE that library
(Johanna Banfill 8:49am December 10, 2014)
My favorite fairy tale is Beauty and the Beast
(Lisa Wine 9:24am December 10, 2014)
I love the Enchanted movie. I bought the video and watch it
every now and then and it always makes me smile. I am a sucker
for Fairy Tales
(Jane Christensen 10:35am December 10, 2014)
Beauty and the beast. I wanted the library. :)
(Rachel Collings 10:43am December 10, 2014)
Beauty and the Beast is my favorite.
(Susan Falkler 10:55am December 10, 2014)
Cinderella
(Barbara Hightower 11:11am December 10, 2014)
Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
(Denise Austin 11:40am December 10, 2014)
Beauty and the Beast is a favorite
(Frances Haddock 12:40pm December 10, 2014)
Your book sounds good and thanks for the recipe.
My favorite is Cinderella and Goldilocks.
Penney
Merry Christmas!
(Penney Wilfort 1:19pm December 10, 2014)
My favorite fairy tale is one not widely known but it's in a most wonderful book (The Fairy Tale Book) that I've had since I was a kid. The illustrations are incredible, both black and white and color. It was published and copyrighted by Golden Press back in 1958. It has traditional stories from all over the world.
The fairy tale is "The Wild Swans" by Hans Christian Anderson. I like it because of the devotion and love siblings have for one another.
(Cathy Ludwick 2:04pm December 10, 2014)
I love a great many fairy tales, but my favorite is
probably East of the Sun, West of the Moon.
(Mary Ann Dimand 3:20pm December 10, 2014)
I love Beauty and the Beast
(Eleanor Wehrman 4:54pm December 10, 2014)
My favorite fairy tale is a very old one called Rose Red
and Snow White. My father used to read it to me and my
sister every night when we were young. I believe it is a
Grimm's Fairy Tale.
(Kimberly Finn 5:12pm December 10, 2014)
My most wonderful Joy is knowing that I will be in heaven
someday because of Jesus' sacrifice for my sins and the sins of
the whole world!
(Vivian Weseloh 5:51pm December 10, 2014)
My favorite fairy tale I think would be Beauty and the Beast
because she looks beyond the surface to the person inside like
we should all do!
(Glenda Hefty 6:03pm December 10, 2014)
The Snow Queen, which caused quite the commotion when I wanted to read the rest of the fairy tales by Hans Chhristian Anderson, and librarian wouldn't let me because I was "too young"
(Kaye Killgore 8:43pm December 10, 2014)
Sleeping Beauty
(Susan Clickner 9:34pm December 10, 2014)
I am a Disney fan.. I love all of them.. My fav is Lady
and The Tramp. I love the 7 dwarfs with, of course, Dopey
as the best one. There is good in all of the fairy tales
and there is also the bad.. I love the way they have been
remade into Once Upon a Time TV show. It gives new
dimension to the characters and stories. Here's wishing
you a Very Happy Holiday.
(Tina Ullrich 10:55pm December 10, 2014)
My favorite Fairy Tales are 'Hansel and Gretel' and 'The Shoemaker and The Elves'. I liked the moral of the story of the Shoemaker, which was the elves were helping him & he prospered. So in turn, he & his wife made clothes for them because they had none. This made them happy, they donned the clothes, & never did a cobbler's job again, but the cobbler still prospered. With Hanzel & Gretel, I always worried about them being lost & alone in the woods. When I would hear the story, I would say "don't go to the cottage, don't go to the cottage!" But did they ever listen to me? Not once! When I was older & lived in Germany, I had many opportunities to walk in the woods. I would think of those 2 little ones & saw how easy it was to get lost. Those woods could get dark! But they were beautiful all the same.
(S W 11:14pm December 10, 2014)
My favorite is Cinderella. Who doesn't love enchanted
animals who will help you do your chores.
(Angela Scott 11:40pm December 10, 2014)
Like many other people, my daughter who is now a mother of her own, loved Cinderella. Now with two daughters of her own, and knowing how much they love all of the princesses, I would still say Cinderella is a favorite. My grandfather from Germany/Austria used to tell us a scary fair tale about a wolf but I have forgotten it, but it sure did make me afraid at the time. Not the kind of thing that I want for my grandkids now. Thank you for the wonderful contest Cleo. As you know, your Coffeehouse series is my first cozy series that got me started on cozies full time and I have loved each book since day 1. Thank you for everything and wishing you the very very very best for 2015.
Hugs,
Cynthia Blain
(Cynthia Blain 4:00pm December 11, 2014)
I like The Princess and the Pea. It is funny and the prince
and his intended outsmart the snobbish Queen. (Love Carol
Burnett's rendition of the story)
(Sharon Shoemaker 6:52pm December 11, 2014)
I like the original Fairy Tales before they were made more civilized. I enjoyed Little Red Riding Hood and the saving of her grandmother by cutting open the Big Bad Wolf. Children love to be scared just a bit.
(Laura Wingfield 8:41pm December 11, 2014)
I thought of one that I almost forgot about for personal
reasons. That would have to be Cinderella. It reminded me
about when I was growing up, being the youngest of 3
Sisters, and of course, always being picked on. Our Mom was
on the strict side, and we were always at her side, helping
her clean the house, so seeing Cinderella with the bucket
and scrub brush brought back unpleasant memories. Anyway,
in the end, we all get a bit of retribution, I suppose.
That's why I had some time to think about it, instead of
just making a snap decision. I hope you have a wonderful
Christmas, and a very Happy New Year!!

The Princes and the Frog Prince. Always loved frogs.

My favorite fairytale is East o' the Sun and West o' the Moon. It's got a ton of
other fairy tale elements, but is a classic example of the heroine saving herself
(and wasn't Christianized by Hans Christian Anderson, or bastardized by the
Victorians).

It's hard to pick one favorite. Definitely Jack & the bean stalk because I always wanted a golden egg, Snow White because she had not just one but seven guys adoring her, Cinderella because she lost the battles but won the war and Hansel & Gretel, the perfect horror story for kids. I remember thinking 'no, don't go in there!' which is the classic thought for all scary stories.

My favorite is Beauty and the Beast. Belle is a great roll model for young girls.

I love them all but my very favorite is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs! Who wouldn't love the Dwarfs? I assign their names to friends and acquaintances who may remind me of one of them! Fun stuff!

My favorite is BEAUTY AND THE BEAST! Hands down. Books and a
second chance, doesn't get any better.

The Ugly Ducking. Because she turns into a beautiful Swan.
