Being a teen is never easy, specially when your mother walked out on you and your father four years earlier with no explanation. Then you travel 2000 miles to see her and she immediately tells you that you have to leave, now. This is exactly what happened when Aphra Connolly travels to Seattle to find her missing mother. Natalie shuts down the long sought family reunion and starts on the drive to the airport. This is interrupted by a 'business call' that requires urgent attention. Aphra's departure is temporarily delayed.

From this moment, their reunion takes a series of twists that could not have been anticipated. most definitely, not the normal mother-daughter relationship. Whatever happened to shopping together and choosing clothing. None of that for these two, more like espionage, guns and hitmen.

Natalie is still sees Aphra as that young girl she left four years earlier. Aphra wants back that mother that she has imagined during that time. Neither of them are living up to the other expectations.

While I did enjoy this fast moving story, I do feel that I was missing something by not having read Death by Bikini, the first book in the series. The follow-up to this one is Death by Denim.

What brought me to take this book from a bookbox and then read it was the title. The only thing related to coffee is the fact that one character dies after drinking a poisoned latte. That’s it. So, it’s more a series about spies and things related to them – the title might be a bit misleading. The novel is quite average – nothing spectacular about the writing or the story itself. I just kept turning the pages to find out who the mole was and how the characters would get out of their risky situation. If someone’s looking for an easy, mindless read, it’s the right book for that. Otherwise, it’s a forgettable read, in my opinion.

Oh a surprise parcel! Thank you so much carelaisa for the books, the lovely assortment of teas and vanilla latte (haha and the book is called Death by Latte... :P), and the beautiful card! This looks like a fun and easy read. Great for when I want something light to read. :)

I finished reading it this morning on the train. The book seems to be part of a series, but the story is pretty easy to follow without having read the previous one. Fast paced and easy to read, sometimes something light is just what you need, and I actually found it quite enjoyable. I did expect some twists and switching sides.. but still got surprised.

Thanks for sharing carelaisa!

It's an easy read, I don't really know what to write, the book has nothing spectacular, but I can't say it's bad either.

I'll reserve it for another round of the Culinary sweepstakes.
