Book Review: Brewed Awakening by Cleo Coyle


Brewed Awakening
by Cleo Coyle

I love mystery series, but often find that the author gets bored or lazy and the quality of the stories decline. I was surprised to find that this book was an exception. Clare Cosi wakes up in Washington Square Park and doesn’t know why she’s there. In fact, she doesn’t remember the last 15 years. Matt, Mike and Madame all help Cosi to not only regain her memory, but to solve the mystery of a missing heiress as well!

I like that the author puts Clare in a new situation, we learn some new insight into Matt Allegro’s character and of course we get great recipes to try!

[If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try Creature Discomforts: A Dog Lover’s Mystery by Susan Conant, or A Catered Tea Party by Isis Crawford.]

This mystery review was to have originally been shared on March 26th 2020 to help promote the Just Desserts mystery book discussion group meeting that was scheduled for this evening.

Unfortunately, due to safety precautions associated with the ongoing Coronavirus/COVID-19 epidemic, all library programs have been cancelled for the immediate future, including Just Desserts. Hopefully this mystery book-loving group will return soon.
