Status Updates From French Pressed (Coffeehouse...

At the beginning of Chapter Twenty-Four.

After that, two more chapters, the Epilogue, recipes, and then I am done!

At the beginning of Chapter Twenty-Two.

Down to the wire now, baby!!

Near the end of Chapter Twenty-One.

Coming in fast, Chapter Twenty-Two.

At the beginning of Chapter Twenty.

I just might finish this one before finishing "The Ghost and the Bogus Bestseller," also written by Cleo Coyle.

At the beginning of Chapter Seventeen.

Once again, police officers and detectives refuse to listen to Clare. Not only is Clare a woman, but she is also barely five feet, two inches tall. I look forward to the egg on the faces of Lippert and Salinas, although Detective Tatum seems like a good egg.

As for Mike, Clare's new boyfriend, he is a detective, and trusts her very much. Yes, she upgraded!!

Halfway through Chapter Fourteen, and approaching Chapter Fifteen.

Oh, snap! Joy just got a jarring visual, but there is no reality in it; in other words, Joy jumped to conclusions.

Near the end of Chapter Thirteen.

I'm so happy Clare is going to offer a coffee service at the Solange restaurant, because truly, bad coffee, in the midst of sumptuous meals, is insane!

In the "Coffeehouse Mysteries," the chapters are spelled out; i. e., twelve, as opposed to 12. At the present time, at the beginning of Chapter Twelve.

In the "Haunted Bookshop Mysteries," the chapters are numbered and titled. For example, in "The Ghost and the Bogus Bookseller," I'm at the beginning of Chapter 12, "Two Visitors and a Funeral."

At the beginning of Chapter Eleven.

I think it is safe to say things are getting heady!

It feels so good to get back to Cleo Coyle's Cozy Mysteries. In addition to reading this one, I'm also reading "The Ghost and the Bogus Bestseller."

In "French Pressed," currently at the beginning of Chapter Ten (same with "The Ghost and the Bogus Bookseller").
