Honey Roasted

Coffeehouse Mystery Series, Book 19

By: Cleo Coyle

Narrated by: Rebecca Gibel

Clare Cosi is busy as a bee planning her honeymoon when murder buzzes into the Village Blend in this all-new mystery in the beloved New York Times bestselling Coffeehouse series.

While struggling to find a romantic (and affordable) destination for her upcoming honeymoon, coffeehouse manager Clare Cosi whips up a honey of a drink made from honey-processed coffee. Clare plans to serve her outstanding new Honey-Cinnamon Latte at her spring wedding to her longtime honey, NYPD detective Mike Quinn. The culinary world is also abuzz about the amazing honey that Clare was lucky enough to source for her shop's new latte. Produced by Madame's old friend "Queen" Bea Hastings, the rare, prize-winning nectar from Bea's rooftop hives commands a premium price, and top chefs compete for a chance to use it in their signature seasonal dishes.

One night, a swarm of escaped bees blanket the Village Blend's chimney, and Clare discovers Bea's unconscious body after she seemingly fell from her high-rise rooftop-hive setup. The police want to rule it as a tragic accident or possible attempted suicide, but Clare does not believe either theory. To sort out this mystery, Clare investigates a world of cutthroat chefs, culinary start-ups, and competitive urban beekeepers. But can she uncover the truth without getting stung?

Great Book

As usual a great book it keeps you engaged and not wanting it to stop I am a fan

Another delight

Another delight to read. As usual, easy reading, good story, great characters and narration. Looking for the next one.

Another hit!

Keep ‘em coming! Don’t know what we’d do without this series!! Can’t wait to go on the next adventure with our favorite Coffee Lady!!

Always good stories

Coyle always writes good stories. I just don’t understand why she has to label the characters with their full names so many times in a novel. “Detective Mike Quinn” and “Mateo Allegro”, yeah, yeah, we know who they are 72 chapters into your book.

Nice and cozy

It was the food that started me listening and the comfy quality of the story that kept me listening. Coffee and honey...hmmm.
