Holiday Buzz
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Holiday time is party time in New York City, but after a sparkling winter bash ends with a murder, Village Blend coffeehouse manager Clare Cosi vows to put the killer on ice.
At the Great New York Cookie Swap, pastry chefs bake up their very best for charity. Clare is in charge of the beverage service, and her famous Fa-la-la-la Lattes make the gathering even merrier. But her high spirits come crashing down to earth, when she discovers the battered body of a hard-working baker’s assistant.
Police suspect a serial attacker whose escalating crimes have become known as “The Christmas Stalkings.” Clare’s boyfriend, NYPD detective Mike Quinn, finds reason to believe even more sinister forces are involved. Clare isn’t so sure—and when she finds a second bludgeoned baker, she becomes a target. Now Clare is spending the holiday season pouring over clues, and she’s not going to rest until justice is served.

The opening of the pseudonymous Coyle’s sprightly 12th coffeehouse mystery starring Manhattan coffeehouse manager Clare Cosi (after A Brew to a Kill) is replete with foreshadowing: “I didn’t plan on interrogating a reality show diva; hoodwinking a New York hockey player; or butting heads with a conniving Cajun cook. And I certainly wasn’t expecting to trump one of the biggest forensic freaks in the NYPD.” Those events follow Clare’s discovery of the bludgeoned corpse of Moirin Fagan, a baker’s assistant who was helping Clare prepare Christmas cookies. The investigation culminates in, unsurprisingly, an angry Clare choosing to put herself in danger, as well as a dramatic section whose punch is undermined by more foreshadowing and some familiar genre conventions. The lead doesn’t always use common sense, but her pluckiness and overall good spirit make her engaging company. Coyle is the husband-wife writing team of Marc Cerasini and Alice Alfonsi. Agent: John Talbot, Talbot Fortune Agency.

Jingle bells, beautiful displays, scrumptious treats: Holiday season in New York City has it all, including murder. Clare Cosi, part owner of the Village Blend coffeehouse, is enjoying the season even though her lover, NYPD detective Mike Quinn, is spending most of his time in Washington, D.C., on a job he can't talk about. Claire's happy to be doing the coffee service for the Great New York Cookie Swap, a huge charity event taking place in Central Park, until she finds the battered body of Moirin, an Irish immigrant and baker's assistant Claire had been sharing with her friend Janelle, a pastry chef, during the busy holiday season. The cop who catches the case is utterly dependent on DNA evidence and has no use for fancy theories, forcing Clare to do some investigating of her own. Moirin, generally known as M, led a very private life, and it's hard to track down her boyfriend, the mysterious Dave. Clare enlists her uber-chic business partner to dress down and visit a Brooklyn nursing home, where Madame finds that Dave is a 60ish former rocker who was M's landlord and her inspiration in the music business. Now, Clare has to decide if M's death was one in a series of murders of young women and whether the motive for her murder has to do with her past in Ireland or her present in New York. Coyle's coffeehouse series (A Brew to a Kill, 2012, etc.) captures the New York experience, from high-society parties to gritty back-street deals. The fine mystery is followed by some holiday recipes that will even pack the pounds on readers who are only browsing them.COPYRIGHT(2012) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
