1 About this book

"From the New York Times bestselling author of Once Upon a Grind comes an exciting new installment in the "highly satisfying" Coffeehouse Mystery series. After the White House asks coffeehouse manager and master roaster Clare Cosi to consult on the coffee service for a Rose Garden Wedding, she discovers a historic pot was used as a CIA "dead drop" decades before.

Now long-simmering secrets boil over, scalding Clare and the people around her. Clare's visit to the nation's capital is off to a graceful start. Her octogenarian employer lands her a housesitting job in a charming Georgetown mansion, and she's invited to work with a respected curator on the Smithsonian's culinary salute to coffee in America.

Unfortunately, Clare's new Village Blend DC is struggling to earn a profit, until its second floor Jazz Space attracts a high-profile fan the college age daughter of the U.S. President.

Good for readers who want: a cozy mystery and a long read.
