another great read, Moriarty has a way of making you feel like you know her characters. As if you're sitting down to brunch or coffee and they're telling you their story. Another great read.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2579 KP) rated Death by Coffee (Bookstore Cafe Mystery, #1) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Best friends Krissy and Vickie have moved to Pine Hills and opened a bookstore and coffee shop. They’ve even named it Death by Coffee after one of Krissy’s dad’s bestselling mystery novels. But they find themselves in a real life mystery on their first day in business when a customer buys a cup of coffee, takes it to his office across the street, and dies. Krissy will have to act fast to clear their shop of any wrong doing in the crime.

The book sounded like fun, and I really wanted to like it, but the truth it is turned out to be average. The plot was a little uneven at times, but it still advanced to a great and logical climax. The suspects were good, but most of the series regular characters were a bit flat. Krissy did some embarrassing things that made me cringe, and her cat was annoying. Here’s hoping the series gets better as it goes along.

NOTE: I was sent an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
