Mystery & Thriller

Cleo Coyle is the collaborative pen name of husband-and-wife writing team Alice Alfonsi and Marc Cerasini, who craft atmospheric cozy mysteries primarily set in New York City. The duo has built an impressive catalog spanning three series, with their Coffeehouse Mystery novels being their signature work—a beloved franchise centered on the daily operations and intriguing crimes that unfold within a historic Greenwich Village coffee shop. Blending procedural elements with the warmth of community and romance, Coyle's mysteries have resonated with readers since the mid-1990s and continue to expand through both traditional series installments and curated anthologies.
