Access Dead Cold Brew (Coffeehouse Mystery, #16) Executed By Cleo Coyle Hardcover

look forward to a new Coffeehouse Mystery all year and they never disappoint! There's a lot going on in this book, but not so much that it's hard to keep track.
Ayearold mystery, a presentday mystery, attempted murders, kidnappings, romance, . . this book has it all! It moves along at a good pace, without boring lags or chaotic confusion,

As usual, I found myself trying to guess who was behind all the wrongdoing, and suspecting nearly everyone at one point or another, but I didn't find out who until it was revealed.
Cleo Coyle is great at writing mysteries that pepper in clues and offering up alternative suspects and alibis, without making anything too obvious.
This is the kind of book I read more than once, not only because I enjoy the story and the characters, but also to pick up on the hints and clues after I already know how the story turns out.


I can't attest to how well this book stands on its own, without reading the previous books in the series, because I've read them all in order.
I feel like the necessary background details are explained, without giving away too much from previous mysteries, But I can say that if this is the first Coffeehouse Mystery you read, I think you'll be intrigued to read more! Another great story from Cleo Coyle! sitelink

Can you tell Im in a Cozy Mystery phase Yeah.
Im absolutely loving them right now and this newest book by Cleo Coyle is actually the first of this writing duo that Ive tried.


DEAD COLD BREW is a little more elaborate than your typical cozy mystery, Coyle brings up a shipwreck from the past and uses it as the genesis for this story, Its really quite interesting and fun, It definitely makes it unique to all the other cozies Ive read,

Clare Cosi is the owner of this little coffeehouse in New York and its immediate when you first start this book that its going to be a little more fastpaced than the other mysteries that you might read.
New York has that upbeat, neverstop attitude and I think the book carries that as well, Cops are being targeted by a shooter who is dressed like a superhero, Clare is the only one who has seen this person so she takes it upon herself to get down to the bottom of this.


Meanwhile, she also has to figure out a blend that will be presented to a luxury ship, Theres also a jewel thief and other secrets she needs to figure out, As you can tell, theres quite a lot going on, Coyle spins a very well thoughtout story but I also dont think a lot of the details were necessary, The book wouldve just been good if they just stuck to the sunken ship story OR the cop stuff, I think merging too much can complicate the story when it doesnt need to be, That being said, I would suggest this to readers of cozy mysteries who are little more advanced and find other cases to be too simple for them.
This one has a lot of things going on so it might not be something for a newbie,

Nevertheless, this is one

of my new favorite series, Im still growing on Mike, but I like that the authors explore this relationship in the books, It keeps things interesting while creating depth in Clares character, Id say this is a definite must read if youre a little more adventurous with your mysteries,.for this very good installment in the Coffeehouse Mystery series! Another great addiction to the Coffeehouse mystery series, Love this series. Check out my other reviews, discussions and link ups at sitelinkFantasy of the Silver Dragon,

I received this book for free from Berkley Prime Crime in exchange for an honest review, This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review,

I loved this one! The ship that sank reminded me of the Titanic, and it was pretty funny about how the police thought a crime was being committed by someone in a superhero costume.


The book was fast paced, without being so quick moving that you miss important bits of plot, As usual, there are side mysteries tied into the main one, And while I had a few suspicions about who had done what during the book, not all of them ended up the way I expected.


I liked how there was just enough back story to the Andrea Doria shipwreck which apparently happened! It wasn't just made up for the book.
, as well as the Eye of the Cat that it made everything feel real, It was never an info dump, it helped to suck me in, I pretty much read the book in a single day, because I had to know what was going to happen next!

I like how Clare and Mike are growing closer with every book.
It really gives the feeling of the relationship evolving, Clare and Matt on the other hand seem to be stuck in a loop sometimes, Matt was flirting with Clare and seemingly trying to rekindle their relationship, Even though Clare has been shooting him down in nearly ever book, AND Matt is currently married, So that part gets a bit old, But everything else Loved! If you haven't started this series yet, you need to!

sitelinkThis review was originally posted on Fantasy of the Silver Dragon Obviously I am out of sync with everyone else who reviewed this book.
I basically had it figured out really early and there were few surprises at the end, Added to that was the love of adjectives and adverbs that described food, jewelry, clothes, shoes, etc, in detail that was distracting to me, Clare is a barista in New York City and engaged to a NY policeman, She is such a great detective I can't help but wonder why she isn't on the force rather than solving mysteries while running the coffee house.
I like surprises in my mysteries and I like less chatter and a bit more realism, Dead Cold Brew is the sixteenth book in the A Coffeehouse Mystery series,

This is one of the most exciting books that I have read in quite a while, The book is loaded with exciting dialogue, action scenes, and many surprising revelations,

Matteo Allergo, Clairs exhusband and finder of the worlds best coffee beans, has asked Claire to mix coffee blend to be served on a replica of the Andrea Doria.
A sniper has been targeting the police department and at one of these incidents, Claire sees the sniper the sniper get away.
The most she can give the police is that the sniper was dressed in a superhero costume, Claire also gets to visit with a survivor of the original Andrea Doria who says he will help, if he can, learn who might be behind the police assaults.
Clair also gets involved the search for a valuable necklace that was possibly not lost when the Andrea Doria sunk,

Delicious sounding recipes are also included, in fact,some pages,

I will be looking forward to reading the next book, The book before this one in this series disappointed me, However, this one was back to the Coffeehouse Mysteries I remember, I loved it and I highly recommend! Same stuff, same characters, same propensity on the part of the author to tell me how to feel rather than make me feel it.
I actually tried a recipe this time Chocolate Espresso Globs, Make brownies. Just sayin'. With only a few truly false notes, Dead Cold Brewtheth entry in the Coffeehouse Mystery seriesties together a longlost gemstone, stolen identity, targeted sniper attacks on NYC's men in blue, coldpress methods of making coffee, an assortment of comic book characters, the wreck on the Andrea Doria.
marital dischord, intraagency police rivalry, and killer heels, At times the increasing number of comic book tieinsfirst Panther Man and later the Phantom with a side of Captain Americagot a bit confusing however the vastly more annoying missteps occurred in relation to Perla, the socalled "doctor of urban archaeology.
"

While admittedly nothing that most readers would even notice, any faculty memberslet alone archaeologists with decades of experience working in historic preservation and urban archaeologywould readily balk at the authors' utterly tone deaf characterization of Perla.
If they'd spoken to anyone actually engaged in higher education, or even read a bit about it in such readily available sources as The Chronicle of Higher Education, they'd readily tip to the fact that adjunct faculty status is anything but a prestige position at a university a topic that has received loads of attention in recent years.
Moreover their references to the ", . . pieces of salvage Perla had plucked from urban landscapes here and abroad" p,would read as anathema to anyone actually trained as an anthropologicallyoriented archaeologist vs, an art historian, for example, The manner in which Clare gushed at the slab of the Berlin Wall, the antique lamp posts from London, gargoyles from Paris, and a wooden slab identified as Edgar Allen Pie's Brooklyn front door is as far from actual urban archaeology as one can get.
Why didn't they just call Perla an architectural salvor instead of promoting a totally inaccurate view of what it actually is to be an urban archaeolgist and engage in the complex arena of cultural resources managementlet alone the complexities of historic preservation in NYC Seriously, some cursory research could have avoided this whole unfortunate side barboth in the book and this review of same.


As for the two best parts of the book, the first would have to be Clare's retort that "Trendy glasses and a few short years of college are a poor replacement for a lifetime of experience and decent manners" p.
and the assortment of recipes offered at the back of the book, .
