Publishers Weekly: ". . . witty, smoothly plotted fifth caffeine cozy...sassy, lighthearted whodunit..."Booklist: "A witty cozy with eccentric characters and a fast-moving plot."And coming October 1:
Publishers Weekly: "In Balzo's delightful sixth Maggy Thorsen mystery, Maggy is planning to celebrate the opening of her rebuilt shop [until] the giant inflatable coffee cup she hired for the occasion accidentally deflates and reveals the body of missing Brookhills event manager JoLynne Penn-Williams sprawled at the bottom. When amateur sleuth Maggy begins to investigate, she's dismayed that clues point to her boyfriend, county sheriff Jake Pavlik, as the killer. Devastating innuendos that Jake has been unfaithful shatter Maggy, but don't prevent her from seeking the truth. As ever, Maggy's wit and wisdom help keep the pages turning through this lighthearted cozy. (Oct.)" Chicago Tribune on Uncommon Grounds"...as wonderfully rich and sharply written as anything going. What moves Balzo's book high above other writers who try to cover the same territory is a sharp and often amusing skill that convinces us that this is real life and that it matter."
