Tea Is for Trouble

Haunted Tearoom Cozy Mysteries, Book 1

De: Karen Sue Walker

Narrado por: Mary Castillo

A new life complete with tea, scones, and…murder?

And let’s not forget the ghost....

When your fiancé breaks up with you on your 49th birthday, what do you do? If you’re April May, you buy a huge Victorian home on a whim and open a tearoom featuring lace tablecloths, exotic teas, and dainty sandwiches.

No one told her the house came with a cat in the attic who might just be guarding a treasure. How else to explain people breaking in?

From the moment she moves in, nothing goes right, but her problems seem minor when a dead body turns up in her home. Accused of murder, April teams up with a cantankerous bar owner and a feisty, young antiques expert to solve the crime.

And what about the handsome, arrogant chef in her kitchen who no one else can see? She plans to get medical help for what must be a hallucination, but in the meantime, he’s putting a tasty French twist on her menu.

If you’ve ever wished someone would remake The Ghost and Mrs. Muir as a culinary murder mystery, this book is for you!

The narrator's French accent was great, although sometimes difficult to understand.

The murder mystery took second place to the inner doubts of the main character. after a few chapters that became tedious. The information about how to brew various types of tea was fascinating and sent me researching info on how to brew my favorite types of tea.

Not for lovers of justice

The good guy wins a battle only to be slammed by one even more unfathomble. The nastiness of small town government is unrealistic and insulting. There are no more than a few moments of satisfaction for the good guys winning. The friends and views and recipes don’t hold up against the evil.

Not fun. Not fulfilling . Not going to be repeated.

Good twist ending

This was an entertaining book. I am looking forward to the next one and hoping to get more background on some of the characters.

New Town, New Tea Room, Fun cozy mystery

Great new cozy mystery! The characters are likable and interesting. The mystery kept me guessing. April May’s car gets two flat tires so she decides to get a room at the B&B. While walking around town, she sees an old Victorian home for sale. She has always wanted to have a tearoom and her life is in limbo so she buys it. Someone ends up dead at her house and she is a suspect. The pace is good and there is enough going on to keep the book interesting. The narrator did a great job! I received the audiobook from Karen Sue Walker for an honest review. #TeaIsForTrouble

Good story, terrible narration

The narrator's voice is really irritating. I'll be reading the rest of the books instead of listening.
