Spiked Rum Coffee and a Book Review

As 2022 came to a close I was (and still am) recuperating from being ran over by a truck.  This means a lot of reading time as I am unable to do much else.  This is frustrating because I am feeling pretty good but I still only have use of one arm so I am limited as to my activities.  

I can walk now and am able to take care of all my personal needs but I get pooped out pretty quickly which puts me back onto the couch with a book.  The first book I am going to share with you was recommended by my friend, Cam of Culinary Cam and is a Mystery Thriller by Charlie Donlea called Twenty Years Later.........

This novel centers around news reporter Avery Mason who finds herself embroiled in a mystery centered around a woman, Victoria,  who had died during 9/11 amidst accusations and an indictment for murder.  

Avery, who has secrets of her own, crosses paths with Walt Jenkins the detective who originally investigated the murder for which Victoria was indicted.  Walt, after being seriously injured on the job, is retired and living in Jamaica having a love affair with Rum when he is recruited by the FBI to get close to Avery in an attempt to locate her father who disappeared prior to being convicted of running a Ponzi scheme.  

One of Avery's many talents included recognizing how people took their coffee.  She constantly surprised people by showing up with coffee made exactly to their liking.  This trait along with Walt's love of rum inspired this coffee cocktail that I'm sharing with you today.

I enjoyed this novel, it had enough twists and turns and stories within stories to keep me guessing throughout the story.
