From the New York Times bestselling author of Once upon a Grind comes an exciting new installment in the Coffeehouse Mystery series.

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 a Smithsonian curator invites her to work on its culinary salute to coffee in America.

Clare's new Village Blend, DC is struggling to earn a profit—until it attracts a high-profile fan, the college-age daughter of the president. Clare's stock rises as the first lady befriends her, but she soon learns a stark lesson: Washington can be murder.

First she finds a dead body in a back booth. 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.

      Cozy fans who enjoy a tongue-in-cheek, over-the-top whodunit laced with frequent references to delicious food are most likely to enjoy Coyle's 15th coffeehouse mystery (after 2014's Once Upon a Grind). The book opens with Clare Cosi's significant other, NYPD Det. Mike Quinn, bursting into the Village Blend, her upscale Washington, D.C., coffeehouse, and hustling her away. He warns her that both their lives are in danger and asks that she tell him everything about Abby Lane, a jazz piano player who often plays at the Village Blend. Clare does so in a series of flashbacks that reveal that Abby is actually Abigail Parker, the daughter of the U.S. president. Mike explains that Clare is now a suspect in Abby's kidnapping and the prime suspect in the murder of a State Department employee. The plot twists can't be taken seriously, but those willing to suspend disbelief may find the book a pleasant diversion. Agent: John Talbot, Talbot Fortune.
