Book
No good tea goes unpunished / Bree Baker.
Catering her childhood friend's beachfront wedding was a dream come true for Everly Swan--and, with hundreds of guests in attendance, great exposure for her new iced tea shop and cafe. But when the well-to-do groom is found floating facedown in the surf, the locals of Charm, North Carolina, turn their suspicions to his new bride. Could she have been so desperate to lay her hands on his fortune that she arranged for his murder before they even set off on their honeymoon? Everly knows her love-struck friend couldn't be behind the murder, but with clues pointing in several directions, she can't decide which wedding guest is the most likely culprit. Meanwhile, the frustratingly handsome Detective Hays has made it clear that Everly should stay out of the investigation altogether. But with a killer on the loose and a feeling that someone is watching her cafe very closely, Everly knows that if she can't solve this murder soon, her cake might be iced for good.

Helping out a friend with her destination wedding puts a tea shop owner in the crosshairs of a killer. Don't cry for Everly Swan. Getting dumped by her narcissistic cowboy lover and returning to her birthplace, Charm Island, a delightful slip of land on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, has given her a new lease on life. Having purchased the house she always adored, she uses part of it for Sun, Sand and Tea, a cafe and tea shop that uses old family recipes. Now she's calling on all her skills to make her friend Judy's wedding to wealthy tech specialist Craig Miller a very special affair. And it is indeed special, though not in the ways she envisions. A body Everly spots in the ocean turns out to be Craig, stabbed with the wedding-cake knife. Everly, who'd been both a suspect and a sleuth in a murder four months ago (Live and Let Chai, 2018), has developed a working relationship bordering on the romantic with widowed Detective Grady Hays, who nevertheless wants her to butt ou t of the case. Judy is certainly a suspect, but so is Craig's business partner and many others because Craig's specialty was combing through company records to turn up problems. In between rounds of detecting, Everly helps her beloved great aunts make a short movie about the death of honeybees and fends off the attentions of her newly returned cowboy, who wants her back. As she ignores Grady's advice and continues to investigate, she becomes a target of escalating warnings from the killer, who shares Grady's interest in seeing her bow out of this particular murder. A sun-filled cozy-cum-romance best enjoyed by beach readers who won't mind that its mystery is a cut below that of Baker's debut. Copyright Kirkus 2018 Kirkus/BPI Communications.
