Personally, I found Claire to be a very annoying, self-centered heroine. If the character described her own heart shaped face or generous breasts one more time, I was ready to scream! The coffee information storing, roasting, the horrors of decaf are interesting enough, but should be at the end of the story, not taking up 1-2 pages in the midst of the mystery and distracting from the story, such as it was. I read 2 or 3 others in the series before giving up.
