KayDee's Reviews > On What Grounds

A thoroughly delightful mystery, the first in a series, set in an historic coffee house in NYC. When the new manager, Clare, discovers the body of the assistant manager crumpled at the bottom of the basement stairs, the police dismiss it as a tragic accident. Clare and NYPD Detective Mike Quinn aren’t so sure and join forces. Further complications arise when Clare’s ex-husband, and the owner’s son, returns from a coffee buying trip and takes up residence in the same apartment that Clare now lives. I actually didn’t figure out who the murderer was so it’s pretty twisty. Plus, there’s a lot of information about coffee interwoven into the story.
