Summary

Trouble is brewing in Everly's new caf'. Can she bag the culprit?

Life hasn't been so sweet for Everly Swan over the past couple of years, but now that she is back in her seaside hometown and the proud owner of a little iced tea shop and caf' right on the beach, things are finally starting to look up--until a curmudgeonly customer turns up dead on the boardwalk. With one of her hallmark glass tea jars lying right next to him and an autopsy that reports poison in his system, it doesn't look good for Everly or her brand new business.

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 a maddeningly handsome detective discouraging her from uncovering leads and a series of anonymous attacks on Everly and her business, it will take everything she's got to keep this mystery from boiling over.

I've started this cozy and am not a fan so far. I was thinking of DNFing it but read some reviews. Everyone seems to love it so I'm going to plod on hoping it gets better.

I'm just past the half way point now. Its an easy read with characters and story that I find myself liking more as it progresses.

That’s good to know. I’ll pick it back up. It got good reviews.

Just finished it, and I'm moving onto the second book, " No Good Tea Goes Unpunished."
I figured out who the "bad guy" was, but overall, a cute light read for a summer day! And now I have to see what happens next in the accident-prone, Everly's life!

I haven't figured it out yet Jen but I'm curious.

Finished today. My review is in the spoilers allowed thread.

I loved reading this book. One of the best cozie I have read for awhile.

Liked it to Jenny.

I read this one while on vacation and enjoyed it. I liked the setting, characters and am a bit intrigued re: the family superstitions. I do plan on reading the 2nd in the series soon.

I’m glad the third installment in this series comes out this fall. I’m new to this author and the “cozy” category, I enjoyed it.
