The Seaside Café Mystery series is set in Charm, a small coastal North Carolina town with the kind of tight community and steady supply of secrets that cozy mysteries require. Everly Swan opened her tea café hoping for a quiet life close to the ocean and found instead that her town has an unusually high murder rate and a tendency to involve her personally.

The seven books cover a range of local crimes while maintaining the warmth and beach-town atmosphere that defines the series. Bree Baker’s plotting is clean and her setting distinctive — readers who love the genre will find Charm a satisfying place to spend a few hours.
