Publisher Description
The perfect proposal leads to a chilling cold case in this novel in the New York Times bestselling Coffeehouse Mystery series.
After everything Clare and her NYPD detective boyfriend have been through, they deserve a little bit of happily ever after. But while Mike's marriage proposal to Clare is steeped in perfection, the celebration of their engagement is not long lived.
First, a grim-faced attorney interrupts their party with a mysterious letter bequeathing a hidden treasure to Clare's daughter. Next, the world-famous jeweler who designed Clare's ring is found poisoned in his shop. Both events appear to be connected to a cold case murder involving a sunken ship, an Italian curse, a charming jewel thief, and a shocking family secret. With deadly trouble brewing, Clare must track down clues in some of New York's most secret places before an old vendetta produces fresh corpses.
With recipes to die for, including how to make cold-brew coffee at home!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A murder aboard the Andrea Doria, after the doomed luxury liner's collision with another ship off the coast of Nantucket in 1956, propels Coyle's satisfying 16th Coffeehouse mystery (after 2015's Dead to the Last Drop). Flash forward 60 years. Clare Cosi, the manager of the Village Blend, a Greenwich Village coffeehouse, which she runs with her ex-husband, Matteo Allegro, is the only witness to get a look at a sniper who has been picking off New York City cops. Unfortunately, to Clare the shooter looked exactly like the cartoon superhero Panther Man complete with cape and pointy ears. Will her policeman boyfriend, Mike Quinn, think she's lost her mind? The plot's blend includes a fabulous diamond, blackmail, embezzlement, surprise inheritances, murder, and a decades-old family scandal. Along with this spicy mix, the reader gets a generous helping of coffee lore and over a dozen lusciously rich recipes. Coyle is the pseudonym for the husband-and-wife team of Alice Alfonsi and Marc Cerasini.
