Dead to the Last Drop by Cleo Coyle

3.0

I enjoyed the Washington DC setting, particularly given I was lucky enough to visit DC earlier this year, including Georgetown. I do find the history and coffee facts that the book is laden with over the top and I find the 'ínfo dump' style of conveying this information detracted from the story. One or two interesting facts woven into the story would be interesting. Paragraph after paragraph of random facts is boring. Ditto for the recipes. Now I love food but when I read a mystery story I want a mystery. If I want a tonnes of recipes I will read a recipe book or watch Food Network. Also I am SO ready for Claire & Mike to get married. Hope that is the next book.
