Resolved to keep a closer eye on Joy, Clare makes a deal to micro-roast and French press exclusive coffee blends for Tommy, a man she wouldn’t mind seeing roasted and pressed. Then the competitive kitchen turns cutthroat, and Joy’s a suspect. To clear her daughter of the crime, Clare knows she must catch the real killer … even if it lands her in the hottest water of her life.

“Coyle again entertains, informs, and challenges the reader…The clues are there in the open, but we must put them together.”
— Gumshoe Review“I love Cleo Coyle’s coffeehouse mysteries and French Pressed is the best yet.”
— Cozy Library" This series just gets better and better - the characters become more developed and the mysteries a little more tangled. I keep coming back to the Coffeehouse Mystery series for another fix - just like a visit to the local coffeehouse! This is book 6. "
— Sandi, 2/7/2014" While I enjoy the coffeehouse mysteries, they are beginning to become formulaic and repetitive. The problems are the same. The motives are the same. The characters have not developed nearly enough over five or six books. I'm just a little disappointed. "
— Trina, 1/29/2014" I've really enjoyed this series so far, lots of interesting coffee and cuisine facts, tasty sounding recipes in the back and fun characters. I'm looking forward to the next one. "
— Shaunesay, 1/23/2014" I think I like this one the best so far. It had a lot more going on and wasn't as easy to figure out ahead of time. "
— Jen, 1/20/2014" As always, a fun author to read. I'm in no way a coffee afficionado, but I am addicted to it..and great recipes, too! "
— Kim, 1/19/2014" Liked this one better than the last one. Great story! Fun mystery. "
— Lorelie, 1/6/2014" I really enjoyed this one! The main character owns a coffee house. The author has put a bit of coffee education in this book, which was interesting and fun. I've already bought books 1 & 2 in this series! "
— Dahlia, 12/5/2013" Joy has to try and save her daughter who is now a murder suspect. This series keeps getting better and better. "
— *Babs*, 11/23/2013" I love this series. The author creatively entwines cuisine education into the story line. Great read! "
— Tara, 10/29/2013" 3 1/2 stars. This is a very enjoyable cozy mystery, although more serious than some of the others in this series. In this story, Clare pairs with Detective Mike to investigate murder. Good characters and nice background about New York City. "
— Carla, 9/12/2013" Another enjoyable one in the series. Although I find this one kind of over-the-top and couldn't stand the Russian rapper character. Luckily he was only a small part. I continue to love Clare Cosi and just want to sip some coffee and enjoy more of this series. "
— April, 8/20/2013" Admittedly, this is not the first one in the series, but it is the one the library has. I wanted whimsy and fun and this book was decidedly neither. For full disclosure, I did not finish the book. "
— Karen, 8/8/2013" I think I enjoyed this book in the series because it dealt a lot with Clare and Matt's daughter Joy and some of the mistakes that she made. Also, we finally got some Clare and Detective Quinn action. :) "
— Rachel, 7/23/2013" Really couldn't wait for this one to be overwith. Just wasn't into it. "
— Jennifer, 7/17/2013" Ack! Accidently read them out of order. "
— Ann, 4/29/2013" another good one in the series. i just discovered that these books were written under a pen name. now it is driving me crazy trying to figure out who it is! "
— Mrs., 4/22/2013" This one made me oh-so-hungry. But the more I read these, the more I feel like NYC is both Mecca and Hell for anyone on food service. "
— February, 4/13/2013" After having read this entire series (5 books) in about 3 weeks, I feel like I know Claire and Joy and am sorry to lose them until the next book comes out. I have enjoyed the books just because I've enjoyed the characters and all the detail about growing and brewing coffee. "
— Julie, 2/28/2013" this one is good brings the daughter into the mix "
— Allison, 12/10/2012" Grab a cup of Joe and settle in for a really good read! "
— Bonny, 7/21/2012" Reads fast. Glad Jamie recommended it. "
