It's May 1st and in Wisconsin that means the daffodils and hyacinths are poking up their heads. Unfortunately, it also means they may freeze their little buds off.
The Perfect Spring Storm arrives without warning or so it seems to Maggy Thorsen, co-owner of the Brookhills coffeehouse Uncommon Grounds. Trapped by the storm which cuts off electricity and downs phone lines, Maggy ventures into the service corridor that connects Uncommon Grounds to the rest of the mall, looking for sustenance beyond espresso and pastries.
What she finds instead is the body of Way Benson, local developer and owner of the mall. Maggy's discovery unearths other refugees of the storm and it seems that more than one of these people has a motive for killing the arrogant Way. Cut off by the snow, Maggy has to be content to leave Way to become a corpse-sicle until she can get hold of her main squeeze, County Sheriff Jake Pavlik. Content, that is, until another member of their intrepid little group is killed and the coffee - sans electricity - gets even colder than the bodies.

"I love this series and this is a fun take on a locked room mystery. Trapped in a strip mall during a spring blizzard with two dead bodies and suspects running amok. I enjoy the protagonists sense of humor and snark. :) Look forward to reading the next in the series." — â‚ (4 out of 5 stars)

" I love books about coffee shops. I really enjoy this series "
" Disappointing a little, because it dragged, but the ending wasn't all that bad. "
" Just finished. Another great read. Everytime I try to guess who the murder is I am always wrong. :( I guess that is a good thing. Sandra keeps you guessing. "
" Another good coffee house mystery! "
" my first book by this author. love the concept of a barrista solving mysteries, though i did expect that they would actually make the occasinal coffee( I guess they would have needed hydro for that instead of a huge storm). "
