I love these complilation books. This book contains short cozy mysteries that appear to have a connection. I love the fast pace of the mystery. Each authors story was well written and enjoyable. I am not a coffee drinker but enjoyed the plots anyway. Thank you netgalley and Barbour Publishong for the arc of this book. The opinions in the review are my own.

A delightful set of cozy mysteries! Set in a small Kansas town called Oak Grove, each story is connected and involves the members of the local 'coffee club' as they stumble upon murder and mayhem. Turning into amateur sleuths, they work out 'who dun it', sometimes to clear their own names. Some have a hint of romance too. I enjoyed all of the stories a lot, and had fun following the quirky bunch through their adventures. Fans of cozy mysteries with a bit of faith should enjoy this collection. 4.5 stars

I received this ARC via Netgalley and the publisher in return for an honest review. This is a series of six cosy mysteries, all set in the same small town, using the same characters. Each author provided a story about one of the six ladies who make up the local 'Coffee Club". Personal faith is a strong presence in the stories. The mysteries are well written and the authors do a good job of intertwining each person's story into the context of the town and the other stories. Nice cosy mystery series.

Fun, fast paced stories for the cozy mystery lover. It was enjoyable to read the different stories. As a coffee lover, I love to read any cozy mysteries features around that delectable beverage.

This collection of cozy mini mysterys definitely live up to their genre. The short stories are inter connected but not all of the characters play a large role in all of the stories. As stand alone short stories I like them but their connection to each other is fairly loose

The Coffee Club Mysteries by Darlene Franklin, Cynthia Hickey, Elizabeth Ludwig, Dana Mentink, Candance Prentice and Janice Thompson is a wonderful compilation of short mysteries that are unique yet embrace many of the same characters. The Coffee Club ladies are a book club that meets weekly, or more often as needed, at the Coffee Perk owned by Morgan Butler.
The Coffee Perk is the focus of the first story as Billy Bob Rankins is murdered while installing the new sign. There are a lot of suspects as Billy did not have many friends. Morgan and friends Harper, Jo, Penny, Evelyn and Jeanine enlist the assistance of mystery writer, Dean Matthews, as they ask questions all around town. Will the amateur sleuths solve the mystery before the police?
The next story focuses on Penny and her bee hives. With the help of her little dachshund the Coffee Club ladies uncover clues the police may be missing.
Evelyn finds a dead body in the church kitchen in the third story. Who would want the cook for the homeless dead? Again, he is not very well liked so there are lots of suspects including Evelyn’s cousin by marriage, Jonathan who suffers from PTSD. Can they save Jonathan and solve the mystery? Is romance in the air when the cute computer guy from church offers to help buy a new computer when hers dies?
In the fourth story the ladies are celebrating Jo’s seventy-fifth birthday. Someone sends her a large carton of her favorite coffee creamer with no card attached. She offers to share it after carefully ascertaining the nut flavor is artificial. Unfortunately, her former boss’s daughter helps herself and later dies from her nut allergy. Who knew about Monica’s allergy and that she wouldn’t be able to pass up the coffee creamer?
Story number five finds the ladies on a trip to the next town to go antiquing for the weekend. Harper buys a small jade owl at an estate sale and bad things begin to happen, including Harper becoming quite ill after ingesting nuts at the nut-free bed and breakfast. Is the owl cursed? Or is it worth a lot more than she paid for it? The ladies enlist the help of the very handsome deputy sheriff to solve the case. Is he interested in more than just solving the case? Perhaps a bit of romance?
Finally, we end with a story of Christmas and giving to those less fortunate. What happens when the $3000 raised comes up missing? Who had access and why would they steal from children? We quickly learn that some of the characters may not be as appear on the surface. It is a reminder to get to know people before passing judgement. Will the money ever be recovered or will Morgan need to replace it as it was in her hands for safe keeping?
I loved these stories! They are all unique and have interesting twists and turns yet involve the same small town and main characters. You really get to know the ladies as more of their personal lives comes out in each story. I give this book 5 of 5 stars. A wonderful Christian novel. Extremely well done.

The Coffee Club Mysteries
By Various Authors
This collection of mysteries follows 6 women of Oak Grove, Kansas. The women of this book club find themselves caught up in all sorts of trouble.
I found the stories to be simple and unrealistic. Each story was written by a different author but with the same little book club and coffee shop. Sadly, they were predictable and consequently uninteresting. I did not enjoy this read as much as I had hoped.

A nice collection of 6 cozy little mysteries, set at a coffee shop. I enjoyed this set of fun stories.

The Coffee Club Mysteries contains six shorter stories, all centered around a group of ladies in a small town. What's not to love about intrigue, a great cast of characters, and a cozy coffee shop? Recommended for cozy mystery fans. Thanks to Net Galley and the Publisher for this review copy.

6 Mysteries set in Kansas. Intriguing- at least that's what I thought when I decided to try it out (I don't have the best history with books with several different stories in them) and request it. And after reading the first mystery, I didn't regret it! I found it very attention-grabbing, and the premise of the plot was definitely interesting and kept me turning the pages. The characters were also SO COOL- I mean, a writer! who wants to write about the mystery! and a coffee-shop keeper!!! However, after I moved on to the other stories, I found them boring. The writing styles definitely differed and felt lacking compared to the first story, so I stopped reading them. Because of that alone, I felt the need to detract two stars from the overall rating. I personally would read more of the first author's works, but probably not the rest.

*FTC DISCLOSURE: I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. A positive review was not required. These are my honest thoughts and opinions.*

The Coffee Club Mysteries is a collection of six short stories by different authors that are cleverly interwoven and are tied into the local coffee shop, The Coffee Perk.. It is interesting to see the way the coffee club ladies get involved with solving the various crimes. It is an enjoyable read. I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Barbour Publishing Inc. The opinions in this review are completely my own.

This book is composed by six lovely cozy mysteries.
I'm a fan of the genre and found all them really good, lovely and enjoyable.
I was left craving for more and will surely look for other books by these writers.
Recommended!
Many thanks to Barbour Publishing, Inc. and Netgalley for this ARC

The Coffee Club Mysteries is a delectable collection of cozy mysteries. I enjoyed each of the six stories. Even though they are all written by different authors, they connect in unique ways. I love that the ladies are tied together as a book club, even though they spend more time solving crimes than discussing books. If you enjoy mysteries, this is the perfect book to cozy up with on a winter day. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing, Inc. through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I loved how there was a base cast for this book, it felt familiar and I really enjoyed the mysteries surrounding the small town in Kansas. I wish these were longer though! I feel like each could have been it's own stand alone series.

I absolutely loved this book. It has multiple books in the book. A new author writes each new book using the same characters and theme as the first one. It was great to keep up with the characters in the books, without having to wait for the next book in a series to be released. This kept me entertained for quite a while. This sweet little town and awesome friends group really warms your heart. I definitely recommend this book.

A few years ago Barbour had a monthly cozy mystery subscription and I was disappointed when they canceled it. These cozy mysteries are like those. We get to know six book club women in a small town in Kansas. They each have their own stories written by a different author, but stories complement one another. The characters are of different ages and occupations so each story is unique in its narrative. I enjoyed these mysteries and hope that Barbour publishes further books like this in the future

I enjoyed all six stories in this book. If you are looking for short cozy mystery stories that are well written, you will love this book. The stories are all intertwined with the same characters but wrote by different authors. This is a good, clean, christian book. I highly recommend this book. Thank you Barbour Publishing via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. This is my honest opinion of this book.

Six fun mysteries set in coffeeshops. Enjoyable and fun.
Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author. All opinions are my own.

This is a book with 6 cozy mysteries all involved with the Perk, a coffee shop, and the regulars there! Each story has a different author, but they share most of the characters and locations! The stories are well-written with no bad language! I really enjoyed all the stories!

A great read with wonderful quirky characters. The stories may be short, but I loved how the different authors wove the characters and the town throughout the different stories with each focusing on a different character while the others are woven in and we get to see development. I would love a full length novel about them.
