Clare Cosi's new friend, millionaire David Mintzer, has an offer no New York barista could turn down: an all-expenses-paid summer away from the sticky city. At his Hamptons mansion, she'll relax, soak up the usn, and, oh yes, train the staff of his new restaurant. So Clare packs up her daughter, her former mother-in-law, and her special recipe for iced coffee for what she hopes will be one de-latte-ful summer...

Soon, Clare tends the coffee bar at her first Hamptons gala. But the festivities come to a bitter end when an employee turns up dead in david's bathroom--a botched attempt on the millionaire's life. Thanks to the fourth of July fireworks, no one heard any gunshots, and the police are stuck in holiday traffic. Concerned for everyone's safety, Clare begins to investigate. What she finds will keep her up at night--and it's not the java jitters...

This is the 4th installment of the coffeehouse mysteries by Cleo Coyle. While I am new to the cozy mystery scene, I am not new to mysteries. I have enjoyed mysteries and thrillers my whole life and like to think that I have good taste when it comes to mysteries. Coyle serves up a blend of humor and danger in her mysteries that I truly enjoy. I have yet to figure out her killer in any of her books, which is quite charming for me. After the killer is revealed I back track and say, "ah, yes, okay".

In Murder Most Frothy she takes Clare out of Manhattan and transplants her for the season in the Hamptons. Some of the police procedures are unbelievable, but for the most part they are fun to see unfold. Clare gives a breath of fresh air while trying to solve and stop a future murder as she also deals with her ex-mother-in-law, daughter and even her ex-husband, who comes to town. Even better is that Clare finally lets her hair down and spends some time with a man, even in the name of work. :)
