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.

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!
