Barbara, a coffeehouse sounds like an interesting setting as so many people come through during the day. Gives the writer opportunity to create quite a cast of characters, especially with NYC as a backdrop.

Also, glad you started with Thyme of Death as that is the first in the series. Hope you enjoy it. I don't know how much Ruby is mentioned in that first book, but she is quite a character. I wrote a short story one time using Ruby as inspiration. It was fun!

Please let me know what you think of the book. I'm just finishing my first Aurora Teagarden, but inadvertently started with the third book. Unfortunately, the author refers back to the other two quite often. Oops.

Edit - corrected spelling error.
