The Tearoom Mysteries is a 27-book series published by Guideposts, set in the fictional small town of Lancaster, Maine. The story centers on cousins Elaine Cook and Jan Blake, who purchase a Queen Anne-style lakeside house and turn part of it into a tearoom. What they expect to be a quiet retirement quickly becomes anything but, as each book brings a new puzzle for the cousins to work through.
The series begins with Tearoom for Two, in which an unusual teapot bought at a flea market triggers the first mystery when the original seller desperately tries to get it back. From there, the books weave in local history, including connections to World War II, and recurring mysteries like a sapphire ring found hidden in the tearoom’s walls. The tone is warm and faith-based, with the cousins relying on prayer, friendship, and practical thinking to untangle each case. Readers who enjoy cozy mysteries with a strong sense of place and community will find plenty to like across this long-running series.
