Series: Coffeehouse Mysteries #11
Overview:
The Village Blend’s Muffin Muse coffee truck is all the rage. Clare’s premium drinks served with a sassy side of Esther’s Slam Poetry makes it a treat to track through all five boroughs. But a fatal hit-and-run, followed by a mysterious death at a food truck–catered wedding give Clare a clue that something bitter is brewing.
Then she opens a bag of imported coffee beans and finds ten pounds of rocks—the kind that will earn you a twenty-year jail sentence. Is her ex-husband and business partner smuggling Brazilian crack? Is her staff now in danger?
To clear up this murky brew, Clare must sweet talk two Federal agents, dupe a drug kingpin, stake out a Dragon Boat festival, and teach a cocky young undercover cop how to pull the perfect espresso—all while keeping herself and her baristas out of hot water.

I've only read the first book in this series. I'm so behind! I'm a coffee addict, so I loved the setting. Great pick!
