Amy Flowers is ready to follow her dream of opening her own cafe, and she’s hoping to do it by buying the local greasy spoon. However, Lou Lou, the owner, is not at all interested in selling. Amy stops by the cafe late one night and finds Lou Lou dead in her office. Naturally, Amy knows she has a good motive. Can she clear her name?

This is a fun start to a new series. The book focuses a bit on Amy starting her café early on, but the mystery begins to be the focus as we gear up toward the logical climax. Some of the characters could have been stronger, but I still came to care for them before the book ended, and I look forward to getting to know them better as the series progresses.

NOTE: I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Reading a Maeve Binchy book is so comforting. Like outside a cafe drinking strong coffee people-watching. This collection of stories is packed with insightful glimpses into people, women particularly and what makes them tick. There is often a thread running through the stories about wisdom and folly. Sometimes the stories got a little repetitive, but a sweet read.
