Murder by Mocha is the 10th book in the Coffeehouse Mystery series by Cleo Coyle. It's always enjoyable to read about Clare Cosi and her staff at the Village Blend. This installment focused on her relationship with her MIL and a new business venture. The Aphrodite company was a unique environment and the backstabbing ways set up for a perfect series of crimes. The whodunit was well disguised and kept me engaged trying to figure it out. As suspects keep dropping out it eventually becomes clear who the villain is but the suspense is drawn out quite well through the book. The fact many characters were keeping secrets made it easy to be confused as to who was the person seeking revenge. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I don't generally give cozies 4 stars but this one definitely deserved the rating.
I look forward to reading the rest of the series now that I have picked the books up again.
Murder by Mocha by Cleo Coyle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Clare and crew find themselves in a big mess while helping launch the new cobranded Mocha Magic. This book has a great mystery that spans across multiple storylines. The non primary characters play bigger roles than many of the other stories. The relationships Clare has with them really develops in this book and makes the characters even more appealing. The mystery is complex and well thought out story of revenge.
