INTRO
Book #4 in New York Times bestselling author Cleo Coyle's Coffeehouse
Mystery series...
Clare Cosi's new friend, millionaire David Mintzer, has an offer no New
York barista could turn down: an all-expenses-paid summer away from the
sticky city. At his Hamptons mansion, she'll relax, soak up the sun,
and, oh yes, train the staff of his new restaurant. So Clare packs up
her daughter, her former mother-in-law, and her special recipe for iced
coffee--for what she hopes will be one de-latte-ful summer...
Soon, Clare tends the coffee bar at her first Hamptons gala. But the
festivities come to a bitter end when an employee turns up dead in
David's bathroom--a botched attempt on the millionaire's life. Thanks to
the Fourth of July fireworks no one heard any gunshots, and the police
are stuck in holiday traffic. Concerned for everyone's safety, Clare
begins to investigate. What she finds will keep her up at night--and
it's not the java jitters...

REVIEW
This is Book Four of Fourteen of Cleo Coyle's Coffeehouse Mystery Series.
As I read this book, I find that I'm totally interested in it. No disappointment. I found that this "cozy" mystery isn't like most of the others. Most of them have a fair amount of unrealistic situations in them, but I find this book is very believable, more so than the other "cozies" I've read. The setting for this book is out on Long Island in the Haptons during the summer.
Claire is the main character who has taken a temporary job at a new restaurant as the managing barista. The main idea is to get coffee bar/dessert selections established.
This was the author introduces new characters and situations.
I found the information about coffee a lot of fun and anyone who enjoys coffee will be sure to enjoy this book. Just remember this is a "cozy", not literature. Cozies are fun, interesting, easy to read and not overly full of descriptions. Just enough to keep your interest.
You can't go wrong with cozies, especially the ones by Cleo Coyle.
You will also find coffee making tips and recipes in the book. What a wonderful touch.
I received a complimentary copy of MURDER MOST FROTHY from the author Cleo Coyle and Night Owl Reviews for my view of the book. No other compensation took place.
I would give this book 4 STARS.
