The NYT Bestselling author Cleo Coyle brews up another murder mystery, and this time its NY's Bravest that come to Clare's rescue.
Clare Cosi, Barista and manager of the landmark Village Blend coffeehouse has mastered the art of steamed espressos, and many blended recipes and coffee drinks. While on a visit, a firebomb occurs at Cafe Lucia in Queens, Clare, Dante Silva( her employee), Madame Dubois (her ex mother in law) and Enzo Testa ( the owner) narrowly escape death. After two more torched coffeehouses and threats to the VIllage Blend, Clare finds it necessary to investigate, but without the Fire Marshall's blessings. While she is reviewing mitigating facts, Clare comes upon Fire Captain Michael Quinn, cousin and rival to her boyfriend, NYPD Detective Mike Quinn. The story heats up as several firefighters lose their lives and a serial arsonist is suspected.This series has always been informative and the recipes included with each book have been tasty and wonderful to try.The author makes it possible to keep a reader engaged while providing real life tips. My son has spent several years as a volunteer fireman, and the situations presented I believe are based upon facts.This book was dedicated to firefighters and their families everywhere, especially the families of 9/11 tragedy. I hope the author also donated a percentage of the profits.
