This is my first book by the author, and it won't be my last. Clare Cosi takes over her ex-mother-in-law's famous coffee shop in New York. It's a landmark business with a loyal clientele. 
 The drama starts when one of Clare's employees is found hurt in the coffee shop. Although the cops think it's an accident, she doesn't. With the help of her Italian husband (who sounds hot, by the way--too bad he's no good), they start sleuthing to get to the bottom of the "accident." 
 Recipes are included in the back of the book and on the author's website. Within the story, it's clear the heroine is a coffee snob, which is kind of funny. We learn how to make a good cup of coffee, in minute detail. Coffee lovers would love it.
