When Krissy Hancock and her best friend Vicki decide to open a bookstore café in their new town of Pine Hills, they decide to call it "Death by Coffee," after Krissy’s father’s most famous mystery novel. Little do they know how well the name fits…On their very first day of business, Brendon Lawyer huffily takes his coffee…to the grave. It seems he had a severe allergy to peanuts…but how could there have been nuts in his coffee? And who stole his emergency allergy medication?Fortunately, Krissy’s love of puzzles and mysteries leads her not only to Officer Paul Dalton, but also to many of her new neighbors, who aren’t terribly upset that the book is closed on Brendon. But one of them is a killer, and Krissy needs to read between the lies if she wants to save her new store—and live to see how this story ends…

There wasn’t nearly enough coffee or books, and Krissy was a really bad amateur sleuth (and a bad barista and bookseller, to be honest). She’s new in town, running a bookstore/cafe with her BFF, when one of their first customers turns up dead soon after ordering one of their coffees. Brendon Lawyer wasn’t well liked, but the police have deemed it an accident. An accident where peanut dust somehow got into his coffee (he’s highly allergic), and his EpiPen was mysteriously missing. Krissy doesn’t want anyone to think his coffee had anything to do with his death, so she decides to investigate.Death by Coffee started off pretty good. Krissy is trying to start her new life away from her cheating ex and her parents. But having someone die right after serving them coffee is really dulling her mood. I also really like her cat, Misfit. He’s such a little jerk! But things quickly go downhill once Krissy starts investigating the murder, even after the police tell her it was an accident and that she’s not a suspect or even being held accountable. Of course, that means she believes she’s a suspect and has to clear her name. Not very smart.Krissy is just downright nosy! She doesn’t use any special skills and her hobbies don’t help her accidentally stumble upon clues. She straight up goes to people and starts asking them questions. Even when they tell her that she better leave, and if she comes back they’ll call the cops, she comes back! She pushes her way into people’s homes and gets arrested! Then proceeds to stalk them on Facebook, show up at their job, and just generally be super duper invasive. She does say she’s interested in mysteries because her father is an author of mystery novels, but that didn’t feel genuine. It was just something she said to the police chief to avoid getting into too much trouble. Krissy needs to pick up one of her dad’s books to see how investigating is actually done!I did like the conclusion of the mystery. I didn’t expect that, so Death by Coffee did surprise me in that regard. It’s also nice to see some diversity in this genre, since I haven’t come across much at all so far. I just wish that Krissy had done things differently. There wasn’t anything special about her, unless you count being ridiculously nosy as special. There should have been more subtlety in her tactics, instead of openly interrogating everyone for her own curiosity’s sake.*Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher through NetGalley for review.

By vegas92(AnyGoodBook) ** Spoilers Ahead! **Krissy and her best friend Vicki have just opened a bookstore/cafe in the small town of Pine Hills. On their first day of business (which definitely isn't bustling, by the way) a customer orders a cup of coffee, takes it to go and dies a short time later after he returns to his place of business.Since it is discovered that the victim had a severe peanut allergy, and there was peanut dust in the coffee, Krissy, the daughter of a famous mystery writer, is determined to find out how the dust got there...because apparently the police can't figure it out.What we have here is the beginning of a new series, and I wish I could give it a better review. The plot line is interesting, and the characters could be, if there were any character development at all. We know that Vicki is drop dead gorgeous, but we know very little about the protagonist, Krissy. Is her hair dark or light? Short or long? She says 'she's not fat or anything,' but does she have a little weight or is it even noticeable? I would have liked to have known more about her; as it was, I couldn't get a description in my head, per se. We know that Vicki is gorgeous, but for some strange reason, there isn't a single man in town who is interested in seeing her. At least none who read books or drink coffee, from what I gather.Since both Krissy and Vicki have opened the bookstore that morning, and don't know anyone in town, you would think they would be trying to drum up business for their shop. But they sit around and hope people would come in. So when the man, Brendon Lawyer, dies, Krissy does the only natural thing she can do - she walks right up to people and asks them if they had any reason to kill him...whaaat? If a complete stranger (and I assume she is, because no one knows who she is) walked up to me and asked me that, I'd first look at them like they were insane, and then just turn and walk away. But what do these people do? They answer her. And then try and throw her out. Repeatedly.Plus, the two main characters have cats, but both cats hate people and are mean. Mean as in attacking. Why? I have cats, and they don't attack anyone. That's something you train against when they're still kittens. Cats are just as loyal as dogs, some even more so. If you give them love and attention, they're all yours. Trust me. I have cats that grab at me as I go down the staircase, or jump at me from behind the blinds - without using their claws. I've never had one jump under one of my dresses while I was wearing it.Then there's Paul the cop. (Sigh.) He's hunky, of course. But not very bright. Paul's mother practically sets Krissy and him up on a date. Afterward, they go to the crime scene because somehow Krissy has convinced him she wants to see it and investigate. When they get caught, Paul's mother, the chief of police, hints that they should sleep together. Creepy, right? Then there's the fact that at times Krissy talks like a man. Women don't call toilets "thrones." We also are not so crude (I hope) as to say a man 'was taking a leak.' We might say we have to go to the bathroom, but we never share the information that we actually are.When the murderer is revealed, it comes as no surprise. The reason behind it made sense, but we couldn't even feel sorry for the murderer at the end. I would really have liked to have given this book a higher rating, as I enjoy cozies completely; but there just wasn't enough of feeling invested in the book to do so. I hope that this, being the first book in the series, improves with the next one.
9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. I thought I'd enjoy this book By a fan I thought I'd enjoy this book, but I did not. Had to force myself to finish it, in fact. The lead character, Krissy, was not likeable at all. She spends too much time asking very personal questions of total strangers, in a small town where she had just moved. It is so unbelievable that people would speak to her about the murder or the victim. Even Krissy herself says often how guilty she feels asking questions or favors. Also, her cat is awful. Why anyone would keep a creature that behaves so badly is beyond me. I read a lot of mysteries, and sometimes they aren't written as well as others. This is the first time I remember a book being uncomfortable to read. The police come off as buffoons, other characters are not developed enough, and others are as awful in different ways as Krissy is. Perhaps the male author doesn't write women characters well, and maybe he thinks women behave like Krissy. Whatever the case, I will not buy any other books from this series.
