Review: Shot in the Dark by Cleo Coyle

Clare Cosi is back in the seventeenth installment of the popular Coffehouse Mystery series. Shot in the Dark finds Clare and some of her baristas dealing with a full house of people who have met through a popular dating app called Cinder. However, things go very wrong when gun shots are fired and a young woman is found with a gun pointed at a rather vile guy she met through the app.

Soon, Clare, her ex-husband, the Village Blend baristas, Mike Quinn - Clare's fiance', her daughter Joy and even Madame and her new beau are lost in the world of tech, dating apps, possible tampering, a new drug on the streets and oh yeah, another dead body. With the usual wit, style and delicious recipes that make you crave coffee and pastries Cleo Coyle has yet another hit with Shot in the Dark.

I was provided an Advanced Readers Copy of this book in return for an honest review. The book will be released on April 17, 2018

"So what does it mean?"

"It means humanity," I said.

"More than that," Matt leaned forward. "Ubuntu is a deep-seated belief that humanity is something we owe to one another. How I act toward you is what defines me. Not what I have or what I wear but how I treat you, how I interact with you. 

"In Africa it's also about sharing," I pointed out. "Generosity of spirit and community. An awareness that we're all interconnected."
