Blog Tour- Dead to the Last Drop by Cleo Coyle

I am so excited to be part of this tour. The Coffeehouse Mystery series by Cleo Coyle is one of my favorites. So when Dead to the Last Drop came out on December 1st, I dropped what I was doing and sat down to read.








Series: A Coffeehouse Mystery (Book 15)
Hardcover: 432 pages
Publisher: Berkley (December 1, 2015)
Language: English



From the New York Times bestselling author of Once Upon a Grind comes an exciting new installment in the "highly satisfying"* Coffeehouse Mystery series. *Publishers Weekly

After the White House asks coffeehouse manager and master roaster Clare Cosi to consult on the coffee service for a Rose Garden Wedding, she discovers a historic pot was used as a CIA "dead drop" decades before. Now long-simmering secrets boil over, scalding Clare and the people around her...

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 she's invited to work with a respected curator on the Smithsonian's culinary salute to coffee in America.

Unfortunately, Clare's new Village Blend DC is struggling to earn a profit--until its second floor jazz club attracts a high-profile fan, the college-age daughter of the U.S. President. Clare's stock rises as the First Lady befriends her, but she soon learns a stark lesson: Washington can be murder.

First a stylish State Department employee suspiciously collapses in her coffeehouse. 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.

Includes great American recipes!


You will be instantly swept up in the newest book of the Coffeehouse mystery series. This is by far the best one in the series yet and you will not be disappointed. The story starts with Clare Cosi and Mike in DC as the opening of the newest coffeehouse and jazz club is taking place. With singing from the Presidents daughter and yummy food, coffee and murder this story will have you craving for more. Clare is strong and independent woman and this story brings you captive from the very first page. You won't want to put it down.
