About this listen

Master barista Sage Caplin is opening a new coffee cart in Portland, Oregon, but a killer is brewing up a world of trouble....

Portland is famous for its rain, hipsters, craft beers...and coffee. Sage Caplin has high hopes for her coffee cart, Ground Rules, which she runs with her business partner, Harley - a genius at roasting beans and devising new blends. That's essential in a city where locals have intensely strong opinions about cappuccino versus macchiato - especially in the case of one of Sage's very first customers....

Sage finds the man's body in front of her cart, a fatal slash across his neck. There's been plenty of anger in the air, from longtime vendors annoyed at Ground Rules taking a coveted spot in the food truck lot, to protesters demonstrating against a new high-rise. But who was mad enough to commit murder? Sage is already fending off trouble in the form of her estranged, con artist mother, who's trying to trickle back into her life. But when Sage's very own box cutter is discovered to be the murder weapon, she needs to focus on finding the killer fast - before her business, and her life, come to a bitter end . . .

I liked the story line and the main character. But there was a lot of information about making coffee. I might now be able to be a barista.

I found out there are a lot of ways to make coffee.

I like a cute mystery with lots of quirky characters and other storylines in it. I'm really pleased there are 2 more books following these characters after this one. I especially like Carly Robin's narration. She has such a lovely voice.

Really enjoyed this one. Great storyline, and equally good narrator. Will be purchasing the remaining books in the series.

Great cosy mystery

If I want an interminable treatise on the minutae of brewing strange coffee concoctions and sundry foodstuffs then I don't look for them in a supposed murder mystery. That, rather weakly, provides about 10% of the content of this self-indulgent volume. The rest being the aforementiond display of the author's obsession with coffee and food plus a lot of tedious social activist propaganda, with some relationship psychology thrown in. I nearly gave up on it several times but suffered until the end

Look elsewhere
