Double Mocha Blues

Double Mocha Blues (2023) Tyora Moody (Joss Miller Mystery #1)

Jocelyn “Joss” Miller is releasing a podcast on the murder of her grandfather–an unsolved murder from more than fifty years ago.

This series is a spin off from another series, where apparently Joss discovered who her maternal grandmother was–and why her mother had been given up for adoption right after she was born. Joss now lives with her grandmother, while working at the local coffee shop.

Usually, Eleanor Olsen started the day with a caramel latte or, if she was being more health conscious, she ordered a green tea chai. I knew her writing was going strong when she started the day with black coffee.

As with most first books in a cozy mystery series, someone Joss had argued with is found dead, and Joss is suspected by some of murder, but not by one of the detectives on the case.

It’s a cozy mystery, despite the fact it deals with racism and town bullies.
