HONEY ROASTED by Cleo Coyle
The Nineteenth Coffeehouse Mystery 

The swarm of bees descending upon the Village Blend is like something our of a horror film. The truly scary thing is Clare and Matt's discovery of the bees actual home. Their hives have been destroyed and their keeper, a good friend of Madame's, is sprawled on the balcony below. Not believing the police's assumption that this was a suicide attempt, Clare decides to figure out what she can while entrusted with the bees care. Will she be able to sort out the mystery of the bees as well as her issues with her fiance?  

I love bees so having a mystery featuring these beneficial guys is the bees knees! I also love learning and the nineteenth Coffeehouse mystery doesn't disappoint. Bee police? Who knew?! Cowboys in NYC? And the recipes included at the back of the book? There are so many delicious sounding delights included it's almost as if you're getting a free cookbook along with your mystery. And make no mistake, there's a great mystery here.

The nineteenth Coffeehouse Mystery if filled with characters we know, but who still manage to surprise us. There are twists and turns in this inventive plot with both the mystery and the relationship issues keeping me on high alert. Ultimately, HONEY ROASTED teaches us that appearances can be deceiving and communication is vital.

A highly caffeinated mystery, HONEY ROASTED proves to be a honey of a tale.
