On What Grounds by Cleo Coyle
The first charming mystery in the New York Times bestselling Coffeehouse Mystery series--where caffeine and crime are always brewing. Clare Cosi used to manage New York City's historic Village Blend coffeehouse, until she opted for quieter pastures and a more suburban life. But after ten years away she's back in action and back to the grind, serving up steaming hot caffeine one cup at a time. With a sprawling rent-free apartment directly above the coffeehouse, her cat Java by her side, and plenty of redecorating ideas, Clare is thrilled to return to work--until she discovers the assistant manager dead in the back of the store, coffee grounds strewn everywhere. NYPD Detective Mike Quinn finds no sign of forced entry or foul play and deems the whole thing an accident. But despite the attractive investigator's certainty, Clare isn't convinced. Now, if she wants to get to the bottom of things she'll have to do some sleuthing of her own--before anyone else ends up in hot water. Includes recipes and coffee-making tips
Cleo Coyle is the pen name for a multipublished author who collaborates with her husband to write the New York Times bestselling Coffeehouse Mysteries. Although they did not meet until adulthood, Cleo and her husband had very similar upbringings. Both were children of food-loving Italian immigrants, and both grew up in working-class neighborhoods outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, before moving to the Big Apple to begin their postcollege careers: Cleo as a journalist and children's book and media tie-in author; and her husband as a magazine editor and writer. After finally meeting and falling in love, they married at the Little Church of the West in Las Vegas. Now they live and work in New York City, where they each write books independently and together, cook like crazy, haunt local coffeehouses, and drink a lot of joe. Among their many coauthored projects are the Haunted Bookshop Mysteries, written under the pen name Alice Kimberly.
