About this listen
From Cleo Coyle, the New York Times best-selling author of Dead Cold Brew, comes a delicious new entry in the "fun and gripping" (The Huffington Post) Coffeehouse Mystery series
A smartphone dating game turns the Village Blend into a hookup hot spot - until a gunshot turns the landmark coffeehouse into a crime scene.
As Village Blend manager Clare Cosi fixes a date for her wedding, her ex-husband is making dates through smartphone swipes. Clare has mixed feelings about these matchups happening in her coffeehouse. Even her octogenarian employer is selecting suitors by screenshot! But business is booming, and Clare works hard to keep the espresso shots flowing. Then one night, another kind of shot leaves a dead body for her to find.
The corpse is an entrepreneur who used dating apps with reckless abandon - breaking hearts along the way. The NYPD quickly arrests one of the heartbreaker's recent conquests. But the suspect's sister tearfully swears her sibling was framed.
Clare not only finds reason to believe it, she fears the real killer will strike again. Now Clare is "swiping" through suspects in her own shop - with the help of her globetrotting ex-husband, a man who's spent his life hunting for coffee and women. Together they're determined to find justice before another shot rings out.

Coffee mystery
I enjoyed listening to this book as the voice was easy to listen and the books story was a joy. The story line is well thought out and takes unexpected twists when you think you’ve figured out the solution to the mystery.
I enjoy this author very much and look forward to enjoying Cleo Coyle’s coffee cafe mystery series again in future

shot in the dark
This is the last Cleo Coyle book I'll read/listen. Claire and her daughter Joy show the atypical female jumping to a conclusion without searching or asking questions. The formula Coyle uses is boring. The private citizens search Claire does, always puts herself into a deadly situation in the last 3 chapters. I've found reading the first 5 chapters eludes to the story format then skip 10 chapters, to the next section of the story, then skip about 30 chapters.
Joy and Claire's relationship with their significant other, e.i Mike and Franco is predictable and boring. Unsubstantiated suspicion, fraught with unwillingness to have open dialog makes the relationships unreal.
The actual storyline, without the side stories, isn't bad.
Won't listen to another book.
