Publisher Description

At the Village Blend, Clare Cosi realizes her best baristas may refer to a decaffeinated espresso as a "why bother?" but knows that a good percentage of her customers prefer the neutered brew. So when an old friend of her ex-husband develops the world's first botanically decaffeinated coffee bean and smuggles it into the country, Clare believes it's a business opportunity she needs to investigate—at least until the first dead body shows up. With casualties piling up and a complicated blend of old and new loves muddying the waters, it's up to Clare to find the murderer before one of her nearest and dearest takes the fall. Otherwise, her latest addition to the menu will prove to be a real buzz killer.

"I really enjoy Clare Cosi and the Village Blend scenario. I am learning much about my favorite beverage coffee. blended or straight. This book is about making botanically decaffeinated coffee which was really an interest to me. I imagine this could very well be something that can be done, a great tasting decaff for people who need to cut down on the good stuff. As ususal this is another "bottomless cup of mystery featuring Clare, her ex Matteo and the baristas. A really good murder plot for this book."

    " This book was much better than the last one in terms of less coffee talk, but the main character still bothers me. She breaks promises and then gets mad when people don't tell her things because of it. She is nosy and slightly bothersome. I still read the series, but it's difficult when the main character is not someone you particularly care for. "

    " Even though cozy mysteries aren't my style and these are not entirely well written, I've enjoyed the books in this series mostly due to their setting. This is probably my least favorite so far, though, because the plot felt so loosely stitched together. I came away very confused about who the guilty party was and exactly what wrong-doings had transpired. Since I rated all the others 3 stars, I had to show this one being lesser, but it's more like 2.75 stars and worth reading if you've made it this far in the series. I still love Matteo and wish Clare felt the same. "

    " I really enjoyed this book. All the coffee info is making me want to open my own shop. I enjoyed seeing Matt more and that Clare is finding her own groove. Recipes again, a plus. "

    " This was OK, but I've enjoyed the others in the series more. Good plot and ending. Just too much detail for me about coffee and coffee beans and how to brew a good cup and ... more about coffee. Would like less about that and more about the characters. But that's just me. "

    " Another Cleo Coyle book, what can I say? I love the fact that she put so much information into decaffienated coffee. It really made me wanna try it myself. In all her books she does a great job of making you feel like you are there with the characters. "

    " I did not enjoy this book, it wasn't even a mindless read. Characters were stock, almost from the writers catalog and in a 260page book the actual murder and solution occurred in the last 60 pages. I was never really engaged, just too stubborn to quit reading, hoping it would get better! "

    " This is not my favorite of the series. I like the ones in the series that have more of the mother-daughter relationship in it. It is a fast read and a good mystery with interesting and funny characters but the villans in this novel are sketchily written and the conclusion is a bit rushed. "
