About this ebook

FIRST BOOK IN A NEW BEACHSIDE COZY MYSTERY SERIES!

When a body turns up on the boardwalk outside Everly Swan's iced tea shop and café, she becomes the number one suspect in a murder case. Can she bag the culprit, prove her innocence, and dish up the real killer before it's too late?

Hitting All the sweet-tea spots, this series is:

A delightful Tea Shop and Café Culinary Mystery

The ideal cozy beach read

Perfect for fans of Laura Childs and Kate Carlisle

Life hasn't been so sweet for Everly Swan over the past couple of years, but now she's back in her seaside hometown of Charm, North Carolina. The proud new owner of Sun, Sand, and Tea—a café right on the beach—Everly thinks that things are finally starting to look up. Until a grouchy customer turns up dead on the boardwalk with a jar of one of her specialty teas lying right next to him! When an autopsy reports poison in his system, things don't look good for Everly or her tea shop.

As the townspeople of Charm, formerly so welcoming and homey, turn their back on Everly, she fights to dig up clues about who could have had it in for the former town councilman. With the maddeningly handsome Detective Grady Hays discouraging her from uncovering leads and a series of anonymous attacks on Everly and her tea shop, it will take everything she's got to keep this murder mystery from boiling over.

INCLUDES DELICIOUS FOOD AND DRINK RECIPES

Live and Let Chai Seaside Cafe Series #1 Bree Baker Sourcebooks Landmark, Jul 2018 352 pages Cozy mystery Purchased on nook ⭐⭐⭐⭐🌙 4.5 The cover is colorful, eye-catching and full of items that totally relate to the story. Even the seagull is part of the story! The story is pretty good. Everly Swan has returned to her hometown of Charm and opened an iced tea and goodies place right on the beach. She has about 30 different secret family recipes for iced tea and is very excited about this venture. Then one disgruntled customer turns up dead near her cafe with one of her iced tea mugs and an indication of poison. The whole town seems to turn against her even though she and her aunts are so well-known in town. There’s a handsome detective (of course) who is trying his best to discourage her from sticking her nose into his investigation of the murder. But Everly figures if she doesn’t solve the case, no one will. While still trying to run her newly opened iced tea shop and keep town opinion more positive than negative, Everly attempts to track down a killer. She seems to have set off some attempts on her own life in the process and things get a bit rough. The pace is brisk and the tension is always high as the author takes us from one new development to another. Looks like this could be another good cozy series. I recommend this book to cozy mystery readers.
