Clare Cosi used to manage the historic Village Blend coffeehouse ... until she opted for quieter pastures and a more suburban life. But after ten years and a little friendly cajoling from the owner (a fresh pot of Jamaican Blue Mountain was all it took), she's back to the grind. With a sprawling rent-free apartment directly above the Village Blend, her cat Java by her side, and plenty of coffeehouse redecorating ideas, Clare is thrilled to return to work. Until she discovers the assistant manager unconscious in the back of the store, coffee grounds strewn everywhere. Police arrive on the scene to investigate. But when they find no sign of forced entry or foul play, they deem it an accident. Case closed. But Clare is not convinced. And after the police leave, there are a few things she just can't get out of her mind. Why was the trash bin in the wrong place? If this wasn't an accident, is Clare in danger? And ... are all detectives this handsome?

Clare, manager of the Village Blend Coffeehouse, finds one of her employees unconscious at the bottom of the stairs, her head at a disturbing angle. Clare suspects foul play, but the police deem the fall an accident. Clare and her ex-husband, Matteo, handsome and dripping with sex appeal, set out to discover the truth. Coffee-loving listeners will enjoy Rebecca Gibel's narration as Clare offers hints for the proper roasting and grinding of beans, recipes for preparing delicious coffees, and brief, fascinating accounts of coffee's role in history. The mystery--while not a robust, hearty blend--moves along at a satisfying clip, thanks to Gibel's reading. This is the first in the Coffeehouse Mystery series, penned by husband-and-wife team Marc Cerasini and Alice Alfonsi. S.J.H. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
