What readers say
Readers enjoy the Haunted Tearoom books as light, easy-to-binge paranormal cozies: a resilient heroine opening a tearoom in a seaside Victorian house, a snarky ghost chef who turns out to be helpful, a beloved cat, small-town drama and recipes at the end, and many feel the series improves after the first book. Common criticisms are a heroine who comes across as snippy or flat, mysteries with few suspects and an easy-to-guess culprit, a slow opening padded with tea and food talk, and thin character growth. Audiobook listeners are split on the exaggerated French accent.
Best for: Readers who want gentle, ghostly tearoom cozies with food and recipes and don't need a tough puzzle.
