No Roast for the Weary is my best book for this month. It takes place in a coffeehouse in New York City and is cozy mystery perfection. I was hooked from the first chapter and loved that the author incorporated current events into the story. The Village Blend is suffering financially because of the COVID-19 pandemic shut-down. Customer traffic hasn’t recovered from the pandemic. In order to increase business, the coffeehouse team brainstorms and decides to reopen the Writer’s Block Lounge, a second floor lounge that the coffeehouse hosted a few decades ago. With ads on social media sites, the crowds return.
One of their regular customers is writing a true crime book that he claims will upset all the politicians and cops in New York City. The mystery to be solved is the one that he is writing about. It happened many years ago in the Writer's Block Lounge. This was a nice setup for the investigation of a murder.
