Haunted Tearoom
Haunted Tearoom Cozy Mysteries Books 4-6: A ghostly cozy mystery with recipes
April May is busy running her tearoom. While she's baking scones and other tasty treats, she keeps getting involved in mysteries plaguing the charming seaside town of Serenity Cove and neighboring communities.
This collection includes three delightful full-length mystery novels in the Haunted Tearoom Cozy Mystery Series.
Tea is for Tarot
It's said that your future can be foretold in the tea leaves at the bottom of your cup...But when the tarot cards hint at murder, is it a warning? Or a threat?
April May has turned her tearoom into a psychic fair for the day. Visitors are having their palms read and fortunes told, while April bakes up plenty of flaky scones and buttery shortbread.
It's all fun and games until a mysterious stranger turns up dead. With the cards stacked against her, April must find the culprit if she’s going to keep the wrong person from going to jail.
Tea is for Traitor
April May needs a new hobby—something other than finding dead bodies!
There’s more to life than running a tearoom and baking tasty treats. As the weather cools and fewer tourists visit, April decides to explore a new hobby. At a painting class, she’s befriended by a group of women, and she’s enjoying having a social life.
When she sees what looks like a body fall from a plane into the ocean, no one believes her until a body washes up on shore. Turns out, he happens to be the husband of one of her new friends.
April will need to cook up some new theories before the killer strikes again.
Tea is for Tears
Can April May find a killer? If not, she may end up in jail for murder!
April is busy baking tasty treats to serve in her tearoom while stormy weather threatens outside. She ignores the controversy surrounding the sheriff’s recall and the rumors being spread until she learns about a rumor involving her!
When she goes to confront the person she believes is responsible, she finds a dead body instead. Accused of murder, she feels she has no choice but to investigate. There are plenty of suspects, but they all have solid alibis.
Meanwhile, disaster strikes for someone close to April. At least she can count on Chef Emile’s presence in her kitchen… or can she?

Small town. A tea room, a kitchen ghost
A recall of the Sheriff who is being framed for bribes and then for the murder of that bad guy! Great mystery and surprising ending. I have read all six books and can't wait for number 7 to come out!

May 18, 2023Awesome series
As this is books 4 through 6 i strongly recommend that you go back and read the first three books in the series.
This is a delightful cozy mystery series set on the California coast. The lead character is April May a woman in her 50s, reinventing herself after the death of her mother and a failed relationship.
The cast of local characters are endearing, you feel like you are making new friends along with April. The ghost of a divine French Chef and a Bengal cat (I really want a Bengal cat) just round out the cast nicely. There are some really nice recipes too. Highly recommend you try this series out if you enjoy mysteries and tea shops and lovely old haunted mansions on the coast.

Couldn't put it down
I've read all six of the books so far, and once I start one book I've had trouble putting it down.
For a cosy mystery it has got everything you need. Laughter, sadness, keeps you guessing who dunnit. I would recommend the haunted tearoom mysteries to everyone who loves cosy mysteries. Can't wait to read the next one in the series.

I really enjoy the main characters and the newer editions too. These 3 books all had excellent story lines and the twists to keep you wrapped up in them. Off to read the next ones.

Great author
This lady does a series with style. I did not become bored after a couple of her books, but stop reading until I finished them all!

This set was hard to put down. So so good. I hope there are many more. Not a lot with ghosts. Just a small portion . Keep writing MsWalker.
