Dead Cold Brew (Coffeehouse Mystery, #16)

10.0

Book Rating

I always look forward to another adventure with Clare, Matt, Mike, and all of the gang at the Village Blend. A lot of series seem to lose steam after a while, but Cleo Coyle manages to keep the Coffeehouse mysteries feeling fresh, even at #16.

Her boyfriend Mike finally proposes, but a sniper is targeting members of the NYPD, leaving Clare in fear for her fiancés life. When her ex Matts godfather is poisoned, Clare sees a connection between the two cases that sets her and Matt on the trail of a blackmailer and jewel thief, and quite possibly a killer.

Dead Cold Brew was a fast-paced story and once I got started, I couldnt put it down. Fans of the series will not be disappointed, and even new readers should be able to pick this one up without feeling lost.

This book had me hooked from the start!!

It was a really compelling read as you gather the evidence and facts to decide if Anna is guilty or not. Abigail Haas has masterfully written the book so that your emotions are engaged throughout.

The writing style is quite choppy as you change between, present day, pre murder flashbacks, transcripts of phone calls/ interviews. However the style really works as it sets the scene for before the murder and gives you the evidence as it occurs. It also gives you the confusion I’m sure Anna is feeling, especially as she is blindsided by new evidence. It just seems as if Anna is recounting the story to the reader and the flashbacks are relevant.

I would definitely recommend this book particularly if you enjoys thrillers/ mysteries like Gone Girl or The Girl on the Train as this is similar but with teens.

Beautifully written

Tiffany Blues by M.J. Rose is a beautifully written historical fiction that for the most part, I really enjoyed. The cover art as well as the art inside the book are absolutely gorgeous. The story did move a little bit slow for me, especially the first half of the novel, but more I was captivated towards the end. I loved seeing all of the mysteries around Jenny slowly unravel, and to discover with her what was happening at Laurelton. It was pretty obvious to me who the culprit was, but I did enjoy the mystery nonetheless and discovering exactly what the motives were. The characters were all very well developed and I feel like I truly knew the characters. While some parts of this story were obvious and moved slow, overall I did enjoy this book and would recommend to fans of this genre.

Lindsay (1717 KP) rated The Miner's Gold (The Decoders #6) in Books

The miner's gold is a good mystery for young children. Though that enjoys solving puzzles and riddles this book is good for them. It gears towards Middle-Grade children. This one is about a Miner's Note and a bit about the Gold rush.

This series is written well. It seems that each book or some of the books reference a piece of the case from an earlier book. This one does mention Case #1 and Case #4. Which to me are Book 1 and Book 4? Each book as its mystery. There are some similarities with something with cases or Mysteries.

This one has the three detectives to invited to find the hidden treasure. What an adventure they go on. But they also have to help out on a movie set. Find out what they have to do. What adventures they get themselves into.
