Bubble, Bubble, Tea and Trouble is the seventh book in the popular Tea by the Sea cozy mystery series. This time tearoom owner Lily and her trusty writer/hacker friend Bernie have to contend not just with murderers but also ghostly presences. A medium and her believers are visiting Lily’s grandmother’s Cape Cod B&B. What begins as a call to ghosts ends with a deadly accident. Or was it murder?
I just love these characters. They feel like friends at this point. However, this book also works well as a standalone read. The mystery is easy to solve even if the motive is a bit obscure. Overall, come for the well drawn characters—not to challenge your armchair detective wits. But on a warm summer afternoon, Bubble, Bubble, Tea and Trouble is a relaxing cozy read. 4 stars!
