Brewed Awakening

The Coffeehouse Mysteries, Book 18

De: Cleo Coyle

Narrado por: Rebecca Gibel

From Cleo Coyle, the New York Times best-selling author of Shot in the Dark and Dead Cold Brew, comes a delicious new entry in the "fun and gripping" (The Huffington Post) Coffeehouse Mysteries.

When coffeehouse manager Clare Cosi awakens on a bench in Washington Square Park, she has no idea she’s been missing for the past week, or that her friends and family have been frantic with worry. Now that she’s back, everyone is overjoyed, including a handsome NYPD detective who claims to be her fiancé. But to Mike Quinn’s crushing distress, Clare doesn’t remember him, or much of anything about the last decade of her life.

Clare’s missing memory is tied to a crime she witnessed. An acquaintance of Clare’s elegant employer - and fellow member of an exclusive Gotham circle known as "The Ladies Who Brunch" - invited Clare to her posh hotel to sample gourmet wedding cakes. The pair took a stroll after their indulgent tasting and, according to security camera footage, a masked figure snatched the hotel heiress at gunpoint with Clare looking on. Did the kidnapper take Clare, too? The camera went dark, just like Clare’s memory. Soon authorities grow suspicious. Is Clare really a victim? Or is she merely acting like one? Evidence is mounting that she set the woman up.

To clear her name, Clare must find a way to reclaim her memories and rescue the heiress before this high-stakes crime ends in tragedy. Otherwise, instead of walking down the aisle, Clare may find herself perp-walking to prison as an accomplice to kidnapping and murder.

another great addition to the Coffeehouse Mysterie

These coffee House mysteries are such great cozy stories. if you haven't read one, do yourself a favor and start at the beginning. The audible narration is just perfect. The stories are well-written and entertaining and they make you want to go out to a coffee shop and have a vanilla latte. The mysteries keep you guessing who dunnit.

Interesting story and great performance

This book held my attention pretty well and I really enjoyed it! The beginning to the end it very interesting.

Fun mystery

I loved that this was a book I could listen to even with children around.

Better than the last one

The narrator used some new voices in this book, which was fun. The usual main characters were performed impeccably.
The storyline was great and the format was different than other instalments.
There is just too much sappiness to the love story through the entire series for my liking. I either roll my eyes or fast forward, depending on what I am doing while listening.

Nice story and entertaining!

I really did not know if I was going to be able to hang with this book or not. While it started off, slowly, it quickly picked up, and I found it both amusing and engaging. The narrator is very talented, and I could quickly tell which character was which. A fun listen!

Mystery with a Twist

I loved this little cozy mystery but it contained to much filler. Rebecca Gibel did a phenomenal job narrating the different voices giving them life and emotions. I recommend this book and series this is my honest unbiased review.

A real mystery!

Lots of twists to keep you guessing. One or two of the characters could have been toned down. Overall a good fun read!

Outstanding Series

I've found every book in the Village Blend series by Cleo Coyle to be delightful. Her characters are complex, bold, and memorable. The storyline moving from one book to the next always finds Claire Cosi, the main feminine figure in the series, embroiled in a mystery filled with twists and turns and unexpectedly funny incidents as well as hair raising adventures.

Awesome!

This is my favorite in the whole series! I couldn't wait to drive somewhere so I could continue listening in my car! I really enjoyed the unique plot in this one!

Fun!

I have not read any other books from this author, but I will now. Light-hearted, fun characters, and unique mystery. Doesn't drag at all.
