Synopsis:
From the New York Times bestselling author of Once Upon a Grind comes an exciting new installment in the “highly satisfying”* Coffeehouse Mystery series. *Publishers Weekly
After the White House asks coffeehouse manager and master roaster Clare Cosi to consult on the coffee service for a Rose Garden Wedding, she discovers a historic pot was used as a CIA “dead drop” decades before. Now long-simmering secrets boil over, scalding Clare and the people around her…
Clare’s visit to the nation’s capital is off to a graceful start. Her octogenarian employer is bunking with her in a charming Georgetown mansion, and she’s invited to work with a respected curator on the Smithsonian’s culinary salute to coffee in America.
Unfortunately, Clare’s new Village Blend DC is struggling to earn a profit–until its second floor jazz club attracts a high-profile fan, the college-age daughter of the U.S. President. Clare’s stock rises as the First Lady befriends her, but she soon learns a stark lesson: Washington can be murder.
First a stylish State Department employee suspiciously collapses in her coffeehouse. Then the President’s daughter goes missing. Is she a runaway bride or is something more sinister in play? After another deadly twist, Clare is on the run with her NYPD detective boyfriend. Branded an enemy of the state, she must piece together clues and uncover the truth before her life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness come to a bitter end.
Includes great American recipes!
My thoughts:
Reading all the books in the series, I am always waiting on the next book to release. I can never say enough good things about the authors or this series. I am never disappointed and always on the edge of my seat to see what Clare gets herself into.
Clare goes to Washington D.C. to get Village Blend DC up and running. She wants the Jazz club to make money and the chef she has to tangle with doesn’t like to give up control.
We get a tour of DC of some great places and not so great places but she is trying to solve a a few things.
We can’t forget Mike Clare’s hunky boyfriend. They need each other to make things right.
This is the best book yet in the series and that is very hard to say as each one is wonderful.
As usual there are some great recipes in the back of the book as well.
Looking forward to the next book in the series.
