Description

During New York City’s fairy-tale-themed festival season, coffeehouse manager Clare Cosi transforms her coffee truck into a storybook attraction and reluctantly experiments with beans said to possess magical properties. When an unsettling vision leads her to a young model’s body in Central Park, Clare is drawn into a dangerous investigation involving powerful financiers, glamorous performers, secretive social circles, and suspects who seem pulled from a dark fairy tale. As the police pursue a conventional explanation, Clare follows a trail of ambition, deception, and hidden appetites—bringing the danger closer to her own life and her NYPD detective boyfriend. Blending cozy mystery charm, Manhattan atmosphere, coffee lore, and sharp humor, this installment offers a playful yet suspenseful whodunit with a distinctly Grimm twist.
