Murder by Mocha Audiobook

" Coffee, chocolate, and murder - what more could ya want?! "

" Murder, romance, coffee and chocolate; you'd think that combination would be more exciting but I was not captivated by this story. Granted this is the first Coffeehouse Mystery I've read. Maybe it would be different if I had followed the series. But I think the relationship between Clare and her ex-husband Matt is a bit weird. The new product they are pushing is supposed to be an aphrodisiac and the two of them not only discuss their prior sex life together but also the sex they had with their respective partners after consuming the product. And no this is not erotica. They don't go into graphic detail but still, the idea of having that discussion with an ex-partner seems inappropiate to me. Matt is always there to console Clare when her boyfriend is not around and Clare still thinks of him and their daughter as her 'little family'. Just seems weird. Lots of talk of coffee and sweets. I did learn why we don't store chocolate in the refrigerator. Quick read fun book . . . if you don't think about it too much. "

" I really enjoy this series. Less cozy than most of the "cozy series", not cutesy at all. "

" Great book! I've loved the entire series so far. The recipes are an added bonus. "

" I picked up this book because of the cover. I thought I would be reading something similar to Diane Mott Davidson or Joanne Fluke. Not so. once again, too many characters to keep track of. French spoken with no translation. References that not everyone is going to understand - "Anyone who knows Ovid or a bit of basic mythology could have connected the two." I may get another in the series to give Coyle another chance though. "

" not bad, little over the top with all the coffee and chocolate references. plot was fine. I just don't really like the main characters that much. "

" not high art but just fun "

" Clare and the Village Blend is working with a chocolatier and an investment group of women to launch a new product line. The new product Mocha Magic is to have an herbal aphrodisiac effect. But then one of the woman is killed and the group is blaming each other. "

" a fun read, good plot and some awesome chocolate recipes in the back. "

" #117 Enjoyable cozy as usual. I did figure out who done it by eliminating the obvious and the red herrings. Nice to see Clare and Mike's relationship advance a little more also. "

" Another very satisfying coffee shop mystery. This one has a ton of chocolate info too. I cannot wait to try the chocolate recipes! "

" I loved this book! This series just keeps getting better and better with the character development and especially the recipes! LOVE THOSE RECIPES; keep them coming in the books! "

" I've followed this series from the first book, but I'm tiring of the characters. This may be the last one I read. "

" This one had good twists and turns; it was truly hard to know who exactly was guilty. Such a difficult task in a mystery, and well appreciated! "

" This was my favorite book so far the characters were really interesting and the mystery with Madame was pretty great. Love this series "

" This one is much better than other recent books in the series. The mystery is more complicated than usual, and I even tolerated the usually-annoying Joy pretty well. "

" I like the coffee drinks and recipes a little better than the plot. This one was just okay. "

" Loved the recipes in this one more than others. Very tasty and great story too! "

" It was another great mystery by Cleo Coyle, but it had a twist to it. It kept you reading to find out who did it. "

" A good installation in the series. A lot more romance between the h/h and some movement in her other relationships as well. The mystery was a bit contrived, otherwise a solid 4. "

" I love this series for the characters & the recipes! "

" good light mystery, especially if you are interested in books with food/drink themes. Several recipes at end of book. "

" Best so far "

" Light mystery. This was a cute book, nothing too memorable or deep, but a fun, light read. "

" I enjoy the characters, but this was just okay. "

" Best one of this series yet ! "

" This series continues to be a favorite. "

" not high art but just fun "

" This one had good twists and turns; it was truly hard to know who exactly was guilty. Such a difficult task in a mystery, and well appreciated! "

" It was similar to an earlier Kona Coffee Mystery book she wrote. "

" Really rather interesting, as to be expected of Cleo Coyle. ^_^ This one actually kept me guessing a while. (So many hidden identities...) "

" I enjoyed this series when I started reading it, but I am starting to get tired of it - it's just not that interesting anymore. I love the coffeehouse setting but the murders are now getting pretty contrived. It was also overly long. Disappointing. "

" I've followed this series from the first book, but I'm tiring of the characters. This may be the last one I read. "

" This was the first from this author, it is an easy read, light but just enough to keep your interest peaked, I will read others from this author and will keep you all posted.Read on . "

" Such a fun book. Great addition to the series, kept me guessing and kept me hungry. "

" I love this whole series. The details, the coffee tips, the descriptions, the recipes. I love it all. Cool author website, too. "

" I like the coffee drinks and recipes a little better than the plot. This one was just okay. "
