My favorite so far in the Coffeehouse Mystery Series. What could beat a sunken ship, decades old murder and some really yummy sounding coffee!

I have enjoyed several books in this series but this one just a bit less. Clare Cosi's West Village coffeehouse in NY appeals to me, but there was a bit less of the coffee side of things in this book. The mystery revolves around the Andrea Doria, an Italian ocean liner that sank in 1956, and a missing jewel. There were too many "mysteries" going on in this story for me - a sniper after cops, the jewel, switched identities and more.
This would have been 3.5 stars for me except for an unforgivable pun and an uncorrected error by the narrator. When I heard the line " P.P. really could piss me off" I groaned. At one point the narrator reads the wrong word, says 'let's do it again' and repeats with a correction, and at the end she actually read the same line twice. Jeez. Is there no quality control?

Thank goodness! We're finally back in NYC. I didn't enjoy the last one of these really at all. It felt like an all together different kind of book. But I'm happy to say that this one went back to the series I've liked until the last one. There wasn't a lot new here, but I do enjoy a fun cozy mystery.
