ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Murder by Mocha marks the tenth entry in the Coffeehouse Mysteries, and its long past time I acknowledge the reason the Village Blend is still open for businessthe readers. I may live in New York City, but the World Wide Web has made it possible for me to converse with many of you throughout the country and the planet. I thank you for your kind support and (yes) love. I send that love back to you with this book.
In particular, I wish to thank a few CM readers by name for their creative contributions to this entry: First, Nancy Prior Phillips, whose signature phrase suggested an entire character. Of course, Clares new barista is a complete fiction with one exception. On down days, I think we can all use an inner Nancy. Thanks to pro-baker Paul Yates for lending me his good opinion on the dieci; thanks to Alicia Farage for the chocolate cobbler recipe; and very special thanks to Peggy-Jo Schilger and her grandmother for sharing Mama Berts coffee cheese recipe.
For their supportive good cheer, I also thank J.J. and Marcia Pierce, Paul Mulligan, Chuck H., Bob L., Julie and Kerry M., Nurse Judy Mac, Victoria H., Pam F., Lura W., Laine B., Lesa H., Barbara H. (Babs), Lori G., Amy A., Deanna S., Tiffany B., Mason C., Dru Ann L., Nikki B., Nora-Adrienne, Juju, Hai, Geekette, Wendy W., Jung-Min, Kelly Jo B., Erin H., Rhonda, Nicole, Carol, Karen in Pennsylvania, and the awesome Three Lanes of Texas. Mary Tracy I thank for long-standing support, along with the amazing Red Hatter Shirley Jackson (eighty years young).
To everyone else, whom I could not mention here by name, please know that every one of your comments and kind messages has helped keep my spirits up and my pen pressed to paper. My virtual coffeehouse is always open. You are more than welcome to join us at www.CoffeehouseMystery.com.
For background on the culinary aspects of this book, I thank the accomplished chocolatiers of Mast Brothers Chocolate in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (www.MastBrothersChocolate.com). Mocha cheers also to the incoming chair of the Barista Guild of America, Jason Dominy, for sharing his award-winning Mocha Diablo recipe with me. Jason works for one of the top coffee bars in the country, Dancing Goats Coffee (www.DancingGoats.com), and the excellent Batdorf & Bronson Coffee Roasters, based in Atlanta, Georgia.
More java thanks must go to two award-winning coffee roasters: PTs Coffee Roasting Co., based in Kansas (www.PtsCoffee.com); Gimme Coffee, based in New York State (www.GimmeCoffee.com); as well as another of the nations top coffee bars, Joe the Art of Coffee, based in Greenwich Village, New York (www.JoetheArtofCoffee.com).
For foodie inspiration, I raise a glass to my fantastic fellow mystery writing cooks at Mystery Lovers Kitchen: Krista Davis, Avery Aames, Elizabeth S. Craig, Mary Jane Maffini, Sheila Connolly, and Wendy Lyn Watson. (Visit us at www.MysteryLoversKitchen.com.) For continually giving me food for thought, I thank Janet Rudolph of Dying for Chocolate (www.DyingForChocolate.blogspot.com); Dave Scott of A Year on the Grill (www.YearOnTheGrill.blogspot.com); and the Bibliochef of Cooking With Ideas (www.CookingWithIdeas.typepad.com). A warm, sweet shout-out must also go to the incredibly kind staff of Cops & Doughnuts Bakery, owned by real police officers in Clare, Michigan (www.CopsDoughnuts.com). Dont glaze me, bro!
As many of you know, I write in collaboration with my very talented spouse, Marca better partner a girl couldnt ask for. He and I both owe a debt of gratitude to our publisher, Berkley Prime Crime, as well as its dedicated staff, especially our amazingly talented editor, Wendy McCurdy; her hardworking assistant, Katherine Pelz; our excellent managing editor and production editor, Jennifer Eck and Patricia Callahan; and our fine copyeditor, Jude Grant.
With the utmost respect, we tip our hats to the NYPD in general and the Sixth Precinct in particular for kindly answering our questions. As to the ps and qs of police procedure, this is a light work of amateur sleuth fiction. In the Coffeehouse Mysteries, the rules occasionally get bent.
Finally, we send a very special thank-you to our literary agent, John Talbot, for his astonishing good nature and unflagging professionalism. Mocha kisses always to family and friends, including the hardest-working mom in the West, Dr. Grace Alfonsi, MD, whom we thank this time out for consultation on matters medical- and zombie-related. If there are errors in this book, they are entirely our own.

RECIPES
Believe me, theres no metaphysics on earth like chocolates.
FERNANDO PESSOA, POET, WRITER, PHILOSOPHER
Aphrodisiac Brownies
With Alicias Mocha Magic off the market, Clare Cosi developed this recipe for her coffeehouse customers. As usual, NYPD Detective Mike Quinn was her first taste tester. These should hit the spot, she told him. Possibly more than one. The reason? Three of Clares ingredients have long been considered aphrodisiacs...
Chocolate, of course, is the classic Cupid consumable. The Aztecs were probably the first to make the connection between amorous feelings and the cocoa bean. The emperor Montezuma was said to have fueled his romantic trysts by ingesting large amounts of the bean.
Coffeecontains caffeine, a stimulant that is also considered a perk in the department of amorous desires. Historically, when coffee was first introduced to the Turkish culture, husbands were expected to keep their wives well supplied. If the husband could not provide daily coffee for his wife, it was a legitimate cause for her to divorce him. Even if you dont care for coffee, dont skip this ingredient. It enhances and deepens the chocolate flavor in the brownies.
Cinnamonis a fragrant and stimulating spice. The Romans believed cinnamon was an aphrodisiac. Cleopatra famously used it to arouse her many lovers. In these brownies, the cinnamon works hand in hand with the brown sugar to layer in depth of flavor thats subtle yet spicysure, it may drive your lover crazy, but as Mike said, A little bit o crazy flavors the stew.
Makes one 8- or 9-inch square pan of brownies (about 1620 squares)
12 tablespoons (1 sticks) unsalted butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon espresso powder
2 large eggs
1 egg yolk
