About the Book

When a customer of Everly Swan's new iced tea shop and cafâe--and former town councilman of Charm--is discovered poisoned on the boardwalk, Everly begins her own investigation of the crime to save her business and bring the guilty to justice.

Book Synopsis

A seaside café. A scandal steeped in suspicion. And a spirited sleuth with everything to prove.

Bree Baker's bestselling debut kicks off the beloved Seaside Café Mysteries--a cozy mystery series brimming with Southern charm, small-town secrets, and the kind of heroine you'll want to sip tea with. Perfect for fans of Laura Childs, Ellie Alexander, or anyone who craves slow-burn romance and culinary cozies full of sweet surprises.

Welcome to Charm, North Carolina--where the tea is sweet, the gossip salty, and the murder served hot. After a tough few years, Everly Swan returns to her coastal hometown to open Sun, Sand, and Tea, a breezy beachside café pouring her signature iced blends and fresh-baked pastries.

But when a local councilman drops dead near her shop--with a jar of her chai at the scene--Everly finds herself steeped in scandal. As whispers swirl and her dream café teeters, Everly must clear her name, confront a maddeningly handsome detective, and solve a murder... before she's next to be served cold.

Includes recipes straight from Everly's kitchen!
