Perfect for you if...

You enjoy cozy mysteries with genuine paranormal elements rather than explained-away ghosts, and you want something that treats the supernatural as part of the story, not a gimmick.
You love a protagonist who's forced to stay put and solve a mystery in a small town where she has roots and history, especially when that history involves family secrets.
You appreciate wit and banter alongside mystery and want a book that doesn't take itself too seriously but still delivers actual plot stakes and danger.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer hard-boiled mysteries where ghosts are never part of the solution and the paranormal is entirely absent from the plot.
You find cozy mysteries frustrating because you want darker, grittier consequences and morally complex characters rather than quirky locals and humour.
You're looking for a standalone novel and dislike starting a series, as this is book one of the Eerie Estes Mysteries.

About this book

In Estes Park, Colorado, investigative journalist Ellie Read inherits Spines & Steeps, a book and tea shop filled with secrets and ghostly whispers. She initially plans to sell the quirky store and return to her life in Manhattan, but becomes entangled in a murder mystery when a celebrity spiritualist is found dead on a hiking trail clutching Ellie's business card, making her a prime suspect. Forced to investigate rather than return to her journalism career, Ellie navigates a town where everyone knows her name. With help from eccentric locals and a mischievous cat named Hobbes, she works to clear her name while uncovering her family history and the shop's secrets. The store itself presents mysteries—from unusual tea blends to shelves that rearrange themselves—all while Ellie searches for clues that might prove her innocence or put her in greater danger. This paranormal cozy mystery combines humor, heart, and suspense as Ellie explores the supernatural occurrences tied to Spines & Steeps.
