Coyle continues to brew fresh and fun mysteries with each installment of her coffeehouse series. This time coffeehouse manager Clare Cosi is brewing special coffee for a fairy tale-themed event in Central Park. Trouble arrives when Anya, playing the Pink Princess, is found dead, apparently due to a drug overdose. Unfortunately, Clare's ex, Matt, seems to have been the last person to see the Pink Princess, making him a person of interest to the police. It doesn't help that Matt has his own drug history. Clare is on the case, but when she tries to talk to Anya's friend, the Red Princess, that young lady is discovered dead from drugs. Clare keeps digging, only to find herself in the middle of an international espionage ring. Meanwhile, of course, there are the usual personal problems to sort out, her own (How does she really feel about Matt?) and those of her fellow baristas. This series continues to mix clever and intricate plots with a regular cast of characters who become more enjoyable with every episode. Many recipes finish off another successful coffee hour (or two) with Clare.--Alessio, Amy Copyright 2014 Booklist
