No Roast for the Weary

A Coffeehouse Mystery, Book 21

De: Cleo Coyle

Narrado por: Rebecca Gibel

As much as master roaster Clare Cosi adores coffee, the landmark shop she manages won't survive if she doesn't sell enough of it. So when the Village Blend's customer traffic grinds to a halt, she turns to her staff for creative ideas, and the Writer's Block Lounge is born.

Madame, the eccentric octogenarian owner of the shop, is upset by this news. Years ago, a group of accomplished writers used the shop's second-floor lounge to inspire each other, but the group disbanded when something dark occurred. Though that history is shrouded in mystery, Clare presses forward . . .

Soon the Village Blend tables are filled with aspiring novelists, playwrights, and poets, all happy to be coaxed, cajoled, and caffeinated by her coffeehouse crew. Clare admires the stamina of these scribes, many of them toiling at night jobs—driving taxis, tending bar, ushering for Broadway—while penning projects during the day.

Then one of their fictions turns fatal when a shocking secret leads to a deadly end. Unless Clare can untangle this mystery, uncover the truth, and stop a desperate killer, she fears more of these weary writers may be marked for eternal rest.

I love the Village Blend

Claire and crew of the coffeehouse have numerous problems to solve and several murders to solve. Another great story, although I wished it might have been a little shorter.

Never disappoints. Glad this series is back!!!

Glad this is back. I love this series. Love this series!!!!
well developed plot and characters with a few surprises.

Another Great Book in the Series

I was excited to preorder ‘No Roast for the Weary’ to be released on 4/1/25. I just finished listening to book 21 and am once again reminded how much I love Claire & the gang.
I found this series late and binge listened book 1 - book 20 without listening to other books. Grateful the series has continued.

I love this series!

No Roast for The Weary shows that we never want to leave the Village Blend. This was an action packed story with so many twists and turns.

As usual I was surprised at the ending!!!

There is nothing to dislike about the cozy house mysteries. I hope they continue!!! The others were good but nothing like Madam and Claire and Matt and Mike. Please don’t stop.

Another great one!

It was good to go back to the Village Blend with Claire and the gang! So thankful for the same narrator. Another good mystery. I love this whole series!

Another Winner

Great, well-written storyline(s). I've enjoyed every part of this series, and this edition was worth the wait. The narration continues to be top-notch with distinct voices and appropriate energy put into the reading. Looking forward to the next listen in the series. There seem to be many tales left to tell for this cast of characters.

one of the best.

oh my. this is one of the best in the coffeehouse mysteries! the action is suspenseful, tge characters three dimensional believable and the story exciting and engrossing. thank you, can't wait for the next adventure.

At the end, the revelations just kept coming!!!! but all in all this may have been the best book yet if that’s possible🥰

The fact that Esther seemed more ditzy in this episode. Her character is usually a bit more savvy than she was in this book which is a bit disappointing.

Another great coffeehouse mystery!

Well Cleo Coyle did it again! Another great coffeehouse mystery. Claire and all the other characters were wonderful in the cozy mystery. Can’t wait for the next one!
