Publisher's summary

The deliciously delightful first audiobook in the new Seaside Cafe cozy mystery series.

Sun, sand, and tea are just three of Everly Swan's favorite things. Her batty, beekeeping great-aunts and small, coastal hometown of Charm, North Carolina, round out the top five. So returning to Charm for a fresh start on her wilting life is an easy decision for Everly, and opening a new seaside cafe and iced-tea shop puts the proverbial icing on her legendary lemon cakes.

Everything is just peachy until a body turns up on the boardwalk outside her home and a jar of her proprietary tea is found at the victim's side.

Now, Detective Grady Hays, Charm's newest and most mysterious lawman, has named Everly as his number-one suspect, and Everly's new start is about to go up in smoke unless she can dish up the real killer.

Fun story

Loved this book. It is fun and the characters are quirky and fun too. Mystery took several turns but was more believable than most cozy mysteries.

Narrator is awesome,story is good.

This was an enjoyable listen. The story kept me engaged and wanting to find out whodunit. A couple times I just KNEW who it was and then a twist happened. Lol of course there are times you are like don’t do that to the main character but that’s the way these stories go. lol

This is a great cozy mystery book. I loved the whole book from the beginning to the end. I listened to it because of the narrator Therese Plummer and because there in North Carolina. There is a great storyline and it holds your attention . I'll go to the next book in the series. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you

great book, great series

Each of the books in this series could be a stand alone, but once you read one, you'll want to read the entire series. The characters are bright, funny, and quirky, Enjoy, I really did.

Utterly CHARMing

Who wouldn't wanna live in Charm, North Carolina? Sweet Tea and warm beaches, and a name like Everly . . . with two quirky great aunts who are beekeepers . . . sounds just about perfect . . . until a body turns up with a jar of your just made specialty tea beside it. Detective Grady Hays makes it his business to investigate. And it seems the victim didn't much like the tea shop or Everly. Or anybody. So who wanted to kill him the MOST? There's quite the mystery surrounding the Swan family in Charm and the aunts aren't totally forthcoming when Everly tries to pry it out of them. Which makes the second in the series a MUST!!! The search for the murderer and Everly's run-ins with Detective Hays are both entertaining and cause for stress. This tale is full of small town goodness, closeness and individuality. Excellent resolution to the crime . . . Can't wait for the next in the series!

Fun

I am a fan of the narrator. She does a great job at bringing characters to life and giving them dimension. She has good energy without breaching being annoying or exhausting.

The story is light and fun for a murder mystery. The main character is likable. If you are a fan of Charlaine Harris, you will easily like this book. I definitely plan to read the next book. The only wish is that I got to try the tea!

The story and the imagery!

A great audiobook that makes you thirsty and hungry for tea, food, and a warm Carolina island beach! A wonderful story with hidden twists and laughter! A heartbreak, a hot new detective, a stray cat, little libraries filled with sand by hooligans, threats, and murder won’t keep Everly Swan down! The author is amazing at descriptions. I could visualize in my mind the town, her house, the beach, and the little libraries. It was such a good story and Therese Plummer does an excellent job narrating it. Keep writing Bree Baker and I will keep reading! Love this new series!
