Clare Cosi has agreed to a share of her mother-in-law's coffee house and to live in the duplex above it rent free because her mother in law would like her to manage it full time again. Clare does this because she'd like to be closer to her daughter, but as soon as she gets there, she finds her assistant manager sprawled on the basement floor. The police rule it an accident, but Clare is not convinced of that.
This was quite a fun cosy; how many of them have amateur detectives who listen to opera and run coffee shops? That said, I do not drink coffee, so all of that talk was not my cup of tea (I don't drink much tea, either, just use the idiom), but I liked it enough I plan to read more of them once our library re-opens.
