CLEO COYLE is the New York Times and Publishers Weekly bestselling pseudonym for Alice Alfonsi, writing in collaboration with her husband, Marc Cerasini. With more than 1 million books sold, they have gained an enthusiastic following. Cleo's books have earned starred reviews from Library Journal and Kirkus, "Best of Year" selection honors from reviewers, and have been recommended by Booklist as among the best culinary mysteries for core library mystery collections.
LATEST BOOK NEWS: Look for HONEY ROASTED #19 in Cleo Coyle's long-running Coffeehouse Mystery series, just released by Penguin Random House and praised by Kirkus as "A honey of a tale." Don't miss Cleo's latest Haunted Bookshop Mystery (#7 in the series) THE GHOST AND THE HAUNTED PORTRAIT named an Aunt Agatha's Best of Year pick. Cleo's next book in the series THE GHOST AND THE STOLEN TEARS is now available for pre-order!
The very first book in Cleo's Coffeehouse series ON WHAT GROUNDS has past its 20th printing, three entries have earned starred reviews, and every book has been a national bestseller, including HOLIDAY BUZZ which was a Top-10 New York Times bestseller. Cleo's previous Coffeehouse entry (#18) BREWED AWAKENING was praised as a "Poignant Page-Turner" by Booklist and honored on 5 "Best of Year" lists by reviewers. Coffeehouse #17 SHOT IN THE DARK was awarded a starred review by Library Journal, chosen as its "Mystery Pick of the Month," and honored by Fresh Fiction as a finalist among the best mysteries of 2018.
Alice and her husband also write a second bestselling mystery series set in a haunted New England bookshop. They created THE HAUNTED BOOKSHOP MYSTERIES for Penguin's Berkley Books in 2003 under the pseudonym Alice Kimberly. The first book, THE GHOST AND MRS. McCLURE , quickly became a national bestseller and has past its 12th printing. After writing five more Haunted Bookshop titles, all of them national bestsellers, they took a break to focus on their Coffeehouse Mysteries, but fans never gave up on the Haunted Bookshop Mysteries and continually asked Alice and Marc to resume writing them. In 2018, they did resume writing the series, this time under their Cleo Coyle name, and their longtime publisher released their 6th Haunted Bookshop title, THE GHOST AND THE BOGUS BESTSELLER , which became an actual bestseller, was honored as a "Best Book of 2018" by Suspense Magazine, and chosen as a "Fresh Pick" by Fresh Fiction, calling it a "magnificent cold case mystery." Don't miss Cleo's newest Haunted Bookshop Mystery (#7 in the series) THE GHOST AND THE HAUNTED PORTRAIT named an Aunt Agatha's Best of Year pick. And watch for Cleo's 8th Haunted Bookshop Mystery, THE GHOST AND THE STOLEN TEARS coming in 2022.
When not haunting coffeehouses or hunting ghosts, Alice and Marc are NY Times bestselling media tie-in writers who have penned properties for Lucasfilm, NBC, Fox, Disney, Imagine, Toho, and MGM. One of those projects (ghostwritten by Alice Alfonsi) was named by Entertainment Weekly as the best media tie-in book written that year.
