Synopsis:

From the New York Times bestselling author of Once Upon a Grind comes an exciting new installment in the “highly satisfying”* Coffeehouse Mystery series. *Publishers Weekly

After the White House asks coffeehouse manager and master roaster Clare Cosi to consult on the coffee service for a Rose Garden Wedding, she discovers a historic pot was used as a CIA “dead drop” decades before. Now long-simmering secrets boil over, scalding Clare and the people around her…

Clare’s visit to the nation’s capital is off to a graceful start. Her octogenarian employer is bunking with her in a charming Georgetown mansion, and she’s invited to work with a respected curator on the Smithsonian’s culinary salute to coffee in America.

Unfortunately, Clare’s new Village Blend DC is struggling to earn a profit–until its second floor jazz club attracts a high-profile fan, the college-age daughter of the U.S. President. Clare’s stock rises as the First Lady befriends her, but she soon learns a stark lesson: Washington can be murder.

First a stylish State Department employee suspiciously collapses in her coffeehouse. Then the President’s daughter goes missing. Is she a runaway bride or is something more sinister in play? After another deadly twist, Clare is on the run with her NYPD detective boyfriend. Branded an enemy of the state, she must piece together clues and uncover the truth before her life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness come to a bitter end.

Includes great American recipes!

Review: DEAD TO THE LAST DROP by Cleo Coyle

 (A COFFEEHOUSE MYSTERY #15)

Cleo Coyle's COFFEEHOUSE HOUSE MYSTERY Series is both popular and well-received, and with good reason. DEAD TO THE LAST DROP is the series' 15th, and so exciting that I plan to start the series and read it through. It's cozy mystery in combination with suspenseful, edgy, thriller, interlaced with the romantic complications of Clare and boyfriend-heartthrob Mike, long-time NYPD detective on loan to DC for operations not revealed. 

Clare has installed a new coffeehouse plus jazz club, the Village Blend DC, in the District, partially as an expansion of her employer-mentor's widely popular New York City establishment; partially to be closer to Mike. The new shop is not taking off, though, and Clare can't figure out why. The one high point is the jazz club and its new exceptional pianist-who just happens to be the university student daughter of the President.
