Bree Baker writes cozy mysteries set in small coastal communities where the sun is warm, the gossip flows freely, and someone keeps dying. The Seaside Café Mystery series centers on Everly Swan, who returns to her North Carolina hometown to open Sun, Sand, and Tea — a beachside café specializing in iced tea blends and baked goods. On the opening day of the original series she becomes a murder suspect, and across seven books she works to clear her name and protect her business while navigating relationships in the close-knit town of Charm.

The series is notable for its setting: Charm, North Carolina is a fictional island town that feels genuinely coastal rather than generic. The tea focus gives the books a specific flavor (in every sense), and the recurring cast of locals gives returning readers the pleasures of revisiting a familiar community.
