Maggy Thorsen, a divorcée whose husband left her for his 24-year-old dental hygienist, and two women friends are eager to open a coffee shop, Uncommon Grounds, in the small Wisconsin town of Brookhills, whose inhabitants include such recognizable types as the local gossip and tennis moms. In a world where Starbuck's and other chains are ubiquitous, Maggy and her friends have their work cut out for them. The challenge becomes even greater when Maggy discovers the body of one of her partners, Patricia Harper, on the floor of their coffee shop. Determined to find out who killed Patricia and why, Maggy delves into the mystery with a sense of humor that would make Miss Marple smile. In her search for the truth, she works with, and sometimes against, the new and unpredictable county sheriff, Jake Pavlik--and uncovers at considerable personal risk the secrets of some of the town's most prominent citizens. Readers will want to curl up with this winner with a cappuccino or maybe even a Viennese cinnamon latte. Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

What moves Balzo's book high above other writers is a sharp and often amusing skill that convinces us that this is real life and that it matters." -Chicago Tribune. 410 2$aA Maggy Thorsen Mystery Series 606 $aCoffeehouses$vFiction 606 $aCoffee industry$vFiction 606 $aWomen detectives$vFiction 606 $aWomen$xCrimes against$vFiction 608 $aMystery fiction.$2gsafd 615 0$aCoffeehouses 615 0$aCoffee industry 615 0$aWomen detectives 615 0$aWomen$xCrimes against 676 $a813/.6 700 $aBalzo$b Sandra$01237562 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163920403321 996 $aUncommon grounds$92872771 997 $aUNINA
