NO ROAST FOR THE WEARY

Mystery Cozy

Cleo Coyle is back with another amazing installment in the Coffeehouse Mystery series. In the most recent book, a lot has happened and Clare and the gang had a lot to deal with. But in an effort to brighten their spirits, a little writer’s heaven has been set up at the cafe.

 

Honestly, I loved this both as a reader and as a writer. This concept felt so fun and fresh, especially after all that had happened in the series. So it really was a joy to read this book.

 

As always, the mystery is done just right with the right amount of mystery and intrigue. As one of my favorite series, I always look forward to Cleo Coyle’s newest book because the concepts are always so different and fun.

 

As one of the best Cozy Mystery series out there, you really can’t go wrong with picking up this book.

SUMMARY

When the Village Blend opens a Writer’s Block Lounge, a cold case crime turns up the heat on Clare and her crew in this gripping new entry in the beloved Coffeehouse Mystery series from New York Times bestselling author Cleo Coyle.

As much as master roaster Clare Cosi adores coffee, the landmark shop she manages won’t survive if she doesn’t sell enough of it. So when the Village Blend’s customer traffic grinds to a halt, she turns to her staff for creative ideas, and the Writer’s Block Lounge is born.

Madame, the eccentric octogenarian owner of the shop, is upset by this news. Years ago, a group of accomplished writers used the shop’s second-floor lounge to inspire each other, but the group disbanded when something dark occurred. Though that history is shrouded in mystery, Clare presses forward…

Soon the Village Blend tables are filled with aspiring novelists, playwrights, and poets, all happy to be coaxed, cajoled, and caffeinated by her coffeehouse crew. Clare admires the stamina of these scribes, many of them toiling at night jobs—driving taxis, tending bar, ushering for Broadway—while penning projects during the day.

Then one of their fictions turns fatal when a shocking secret leads to a deadly end. Unless Clare can untangle this mystery, uncover the truth, and stop a desperate killer, she fears more of these weary writers may be marked for eternal rest.

Includes a knockout menu of recipes!
