These “culinary themed” amateur sleuth novels are set in a landmark coffeehouse in Greenwich Village. Happy Holidays!įor those of you who do not know me: I write two nationally best-selling mystery series in collaboration with my husband. If you have read one or both of my mystery series, feel free to skip my intro (below) and post a comment or question.
What a lovely way to kick off these two weeks. Thank you to adeptmagic for the comment above mine. This very special holiday entry in Cleo Coyle's nationally bestselling mystery series includes a bonus section of delicious holiday recipes as well as a glossary of coffeehouse terms, instructions on making espressos and lattes without an expensive machine, and tips for creating tasty coffeehouse syrups at home.Hi there. But she'd better watch out, because if she fails to stop this stone cold killer, she may just get the biggest chill of her life. Then someone tries to ice Clare, and she really gets steamed.
With Clare's boyfriend, NYPD Detective Mike Quinn, distracted by a cold case of his own, and ex-husband Matt investigating this year's holiday lingerie catalogs (an annual event), Clare charges ahead solo to solve her beloved Santa's slaying. When she finds him brutally gunned down in a nearby alley, a few subtle clues convince her that Alfred's death was something more than the tragic result of a random mugging-the conclusion of the police. Coffeehouse manager Clare Cosi has grown very fond of Alfred Glockner, the part-time comic and genuinely jolly charity Santa who's been using her Village Blend as a place to warm his mittens. Murder has no place in such a pretty picture, until now. Streetlights shimmer through icy flakes, cafés glow with welcoming warmth, and a layer of snow dusts historic townhouses like powdered sugar on holiday confections. There's nothing cozier than a winter evening in Greenwich Village.
