For a cozy mystery, the mystery felt a bit like an afterthought (I wouldn't have guessed the murder based on the details given, and the reveal was very sudden near the end), but Sage was a chatty MC and learning about coffee and Portland was fun!
Also it won't let me add Homelessness / Unhoused or similar as a content tag, but one of the side characters is, and the topic comes up.

Oh this book is cute. Total culinary cozy mystery. My theory of who did it was wrong as per usual but at least there’s some sexy stuff? But it’s so mild. Mostly it’s about trying to find this killer! Also, it made me want coffee for the entirety of the time I read it so be prepared. A fun light read.
