What readers say
Karen Sue Walker is best known for the Haunted Tearoom cozies, about a woman who opens a tearoom in a Victorian house haunted by a snobbish French chef. Readers love the playful ghost, the cat, the cozy small-town friendships, the recipes and the gentle, non-graphic mysteries, and many say the series grows on them. Common criticisms are a heroine who comes across as rude or impulsive, slow first halves, too much tea and cooking detail, plots that rely on convenience and characters who could be deeper. Some readers also dislike the audiobook narration.
Best for: Readers who like gentle paranormal cozies with food, recipes and a resident ghost.
