When an old friend of her ex-husband develops the world's first botanically decaffeinated coffee bean and smuggles it into the country, Clare Cosi, manager of Village Blend, believes it's a business opportunity she needs to investigate...at least until the first dead body shows up.

This is by far my favorite coffeehouse mystery by Cleo Coyle. Decaffeinated Corpse is the fifth book in the coffeehouse series and WOW!!!! There is no other words for it. I read the fourth book right before this one and thought I would have a hard time getting into it. No way! The storyline grabbed me and sucked me right in.

Clare Cosi's ex-husband, Matteo, is launching a new decaffeinated line that his old friend has grown. This means good business for everyone...except a few people do not want to see the success happen. When two dead bodies surface and Matteo is accused of murder, Clare will do what it takes to clear his name.
