ABOUT THE BOOK -
A cup a day won’t kill you, but a few might.

With their client certain that her mother was poisoned through her coffee of the month club, it has them setting out to Williamsburg, Virginia. But instead of approaching matters from the traditional standpoint, Sean and Sara brew a robust plot and stir Jimmy into the blend, all to get close to their top suspect and grind out the truth. Going undercover at Tasty Beans, the coffee company, the three of them work to expose the culprit before anyone else dies.

MY THOUGHTS -
I loved this one even more than the last one! Honestly, I think it was the coffee connection!
"For Sara, coffee was one of life’s greatest—and simplest—pleasures. Every time she took a draw of freshly brewed java, her eyelids automatically lowered in appreciation of the robust flavor. Somehow, when drinking it, life seemed less complicated, or maybe it was just how it coated the palate and calmed her nerves despite what some scientific studies might say.This was a very fun read. I loved it right from the beginning. I thought it was great how they went under cover in a coffee bean company. The little coffee tidbits and facts throughout the book were great! Another thing that connected me to this series is that its based in Albany NY and I am from Upstate NY! So I know all the places she talks about.
She was in her home office, seated behind her desk, staring at the blinking cursor on her monitor, but it wasn’t because she had writer’s block. Her wrists needed a break. Better yet, she needed to indulge in this cup.
Leaning back in her chair, she swiveled from side to side and closed her eyes, savoring the aroma of the dark beans. While they were ground at the time she pressed the button, the only way to get it any fresher was picking the beans off the plants in Brazil. With their money, she supposed it was an option." ~ This is the way I feel every time I drink a good cup of coffee! LOL
Once again a great little mystery. A quick read at only 174 pages, can easily be read in only one sitting, or two.
I would not hesitate one minute to read more from this author! These were so much fun and I loved the characters - great character development.
