Overview

New York State's Belltower Landing is a lakeside resort town where tourists spend their summer days boating, floating, and paddle-boarding on the water. It's also the perfect place to cuddle up with a good book and enjoy a cup of tea, courtesy of Tomes & Tea. Owned and operated by Jazzi and her best friend Dawn Fernsby, the book bar is beloved by vacationers and locals alike, but browsers grabbing brews in the off season aren't enough to help them make ends meet.



Between brainstorming social media publicity ideas for the shop and fending off flirtatious men she has no interest in or time for, Jazzi befriends a woman named Brie who has recently made contact with her biological father. As an adopted child herself, Jazzi is more than happy to give Brie emotional support, especially as her wealthy father's wife and children see her as a threat.



But Brie is also looking to start a family of her own. Unfortunately, all the potential princes she's met through a dating app turn out to be frogs. Then, when Brie is found murdered, Jazzi finds herself playing detective. With a list of suspects ranging from jealous half-siblings to less-than-suitable suitors, Jazzi may need to consult some of her shop's bestselling mysteries to help her uncover a killer . . .

The adopted daughter of an accomplished sleuth follows in her mother’s footsteps.

Jazzi Swanson moved from Pennsylvania to open a shop with her best friend, Dawn Fernsby, in the New York resort town of Belltower Landing. Although Tomes & Tea isn’t living up to the expectations of Dawn’s parents, who want her to sell her share, the partners think more publicity would improve business. Jazzi has recently found her birth parents, and she thinks Dawn's parents blame her for the fact that Dawn wants to search for her own birth parents. Meanwhile, Jazzi's friend Delaney has asked her to help Brie Frazier, another adoptee, decide what to do about connecting with her birth family. Brie’s birth father is a wealthy man with a second wife and two stepchildren, none of whom is eager to welcome her into the fold. When Delaney drops in on Brie to see how she's doing, she finds her friend dead. Jazzi is interviewed by a detective who knows all about the sleuthing adventures of her mother, Daisy Swanson, in Willow Creek, Pennsylvania, and is not averse to a little help. Motives for the killing aren’t hard to find. Not only did Brie have problems with her new family, but she’d been using a dating app and had recently gone out with a bunch of guys, and her phone and laptop, loaded with potential leads, are missing. Jazzi, who’s still not over a bad breakup with a longtime boyfriend, has turned down a lot of interesting men who want to date her, but they’re still a good source of information, and some of them even pitch in to improve Tomes & Tea’s social media presence. Much as Jazzi’s nosiness annoys a lot of people and puts her in jeopardy, she refuses to give up.

This delightful spinoff from the Daisy Tea Garden Mysteries should garner many fans of its own.
