Clare Cosi's new friend, millionaire David Mintzer, has an offer no New York barista could turn down: an all-expenses-paid summer away from the sticky city. At his Hamptons mansion, she will relax, soak up the sun, and, oh yes, train the staff of his new restaurant. So Clare packs up her daughter, her former mother-in-law, and her special recipe for iced coffee for what she hopes will be one de-latte-ful summer.
Soon, Clare tends the coffee bar at her first Hamptons gala. But the festivities come to a bitter end when an employee turns up dead in David's bathroom—a botched attempt on the millionaire's life. Thanks to the Fourth of July fireworks, no one heard any gunshots, and the police are stuck in holiday traffic. Concerned for everyone's safety, Clare begins to investigate. What she finds will keep her up at night—and it's not the java jitters.

"Very cozy summer read with some darker undertones to the many-layered coffee-related mystery theme, making 'Murder Most Frothy' a great blend of suspense, summer relaxation and coffee-flavored recipes as well as a wonderful addition to the Coffeehouse Mystery series."
— Trine (5 out of 5 stars)
" I love this books! It is the best of both worlds. Mysteries AND coffee recipes. LOL. I am a huge fan of the "cozy mystery" genre and read every cheesy series I can get my hands on. I picked up this one in the Mystery bookstore in Seattle. It is a good read to shut off your mind before falling asleep. I am definitely going to try some of the coffee recipes in the back. "
— Miranda, 2/20/2014" Another good mystery by Coyle. I am really enjoying this series. "
— Rachel, 2/17/2014" I liked the plot better in this book! More recipes to try. Love the coffee house settings! "
— Abbygal, 2/17/2014" Frothy indeed. It was good for reading on the plane, didn't need my full attention, summer in the Hamptons. Gave me coffee cravings more than anything else! "
— Christine, 2/15/2014" I really am enjoying this series. "
— Maureen, 2/12/2014" I think my mystery kick died with this book. It just wasn't as great as some of the others the author has written. Maybe it's because the characters are in a different setting than the previous novels, or maybe the characters just didn't seem as strongly written. Whatever the reason, pass this one up. But I still would read future books in the series. "
— Lindsay, 2/11/2014" For once, I did NOT figure out the murder before the end of the book and I like that. Sometimes, I figure it out midway through the book and that's boring to me. Props to the author for making me guess all the way through. "
— Jaime, 1/27/2014" Entertaining mysteries, and fun facts about coffee, this is a great addition to the series about Claire Cosi and The Village Blend! "
— Andrea, 1/22/2014" oh, fluff. had to drink lots o coffee while reading... "
— Glynn, 1/10/2014" Enjoyed this book in the series. Little murder, little spice, little hmm dare I say romance :) Looking forward to reading the next book in the series :) "
— Anne-Kathrine, 1/5/2014" Nice read, good mystery. Fun to see how "the other half" lives. "
