From Cleo Coyle, the New York Times bestselling author of Dead Cold
Brew, comes a delicious new entry in the "fun and gripping" (Huffington
Post) Coffeehouse Mysteries.
When coffeehouse manager Clare Cosi awakens on a bench in Washington
Square Park, she has no idea she's been missing for the past week, or
that her friends and family have been frantic with worry. Now that she's
back, everyone is overjoyed, including a handsome NYPD detective who
claims to be her fiancé. But to Mike Quinn's crushing distress, Clare
doesn't remember him, or much of anything about the last decade of her
life.
Clare's missing memory is tied to a crime she witnessed. An acquaintance
of Clare's elegant employer--and fellow member of an exclusive Gotham
circle known as "The Ladies Who Brunch"--invited Clare to her
posh hotel to sample gourmet wedding cakes. The pair took a stroll after
their indulgent tasting and, according to security camera footage, a
masked figure snatched the hotel heiress at gunpoint with Clare looking
on. Did the kidnapper take Clare, too? The camera went dark, just like
Clare's memory. Soon authorities grow suspicious. Is Clare really a
victim? Or merely acting like one? Evidence is mounting that she set the
woman up.
To clear her name, Clare must find a way to reclaim her memories and
rescue the heiress before this high-stakes crime ends in tragedy.
Otherwise, instead of walking down the aisle, Clare may find herself
perp-walking to prison as an accomplice to kidnapping and murder.
