Death by Vanilla Latte by Alex Erickson

***COpy from NetGalley in return for an honest review****
I quite enjoyed this cozy crime novel, the first that I have read in this series, set in a cafe. This installment sees the owner's author father in town for a book signing when his agent gets murdered. I thought this lost steam a little in the second half, and while I liked the author's honesty about the lead character's nosiness and investigative activity, when the plot started to drag a little that too-stupid-to-live-ness started to grate on me a little. I might read more if they came my way, but I'm not going to go looking.
