Resort to Murder is a fun and warm start to new cozy mystery series by a debut author. Main character Emmy is adorable, charming, and completely likeable. I rooted for her the entire way through the compelling mystery that had plenty of red herrings to keep me guessing. The setting is warm and cozy, and the Cooper family dynamics are loving and kind. The story made me want to book a cabin at Cooper's Cove and spend time around the campfire with the whole lot of them! Read this one if you want to be left with the feeling of being wrapped in a warm hug!

Steeped to Death was exactly what I needed. A bookstore/tea shop, a character I could be friends with, and the discovery of magic all wrapped around a cozy murder mystery. Yes, please!

What is this book about?

So when Eudora passes away and leaves everything to her niece—her Victorian mansion, her bookshop/tea store, The Earl’s Study, and one very chubby orange cat named Bob—Phoebe gets more than she bargained for. And she knows she’s in…
