Cappuccinos, Cupcakes, and a Corpse

Sweet, charming, quick read, with a dead guy included.
This book was actually what I was looking to read when I opened it.

Francesca has moved back home from New York to the quiet cozy town she grew up in with her mother and grandparents. Unfortunately, the move was partially made because of her mother's death. She takes over the family cafe and works the counter making cappuccinos and lattes– working over 14 hours a day in an attempt to forget the pain of loss. Then one night she suddenly walks upon her neighbor, who just happens to be dead.

This story really brings you in with how charming it is and the background on the location really bring that home. Reading is also really smooth so, it is definitely a quick read.

Unfavorable parts would be how the relationship wasn't given signs of evolving... maybe one? But besides talking about his dead father all the time I'm not sure what Francesca did that made Matteo ask her out. So, I would have preferred more time with their dialogue that we didn't see so the relationship could bloom.
Another point is that, there was no one to really guess who the bad guy is because we aren't given all the names. So, this isn't always a bad thing just something I felt I couldn't contribute with to my personal experience with the book. I DID enjoy the mystery and it's ending.

I really might just buy the next one.
