Emerald O’Brien is the owner of the Chintz ‘n China Tea Room where guests are served the perfect blend of tea and tarot reading. She never set out to be a detective, but once word gets out that she can communicate with the dead, there’s no turning back…
When the ghost of Susan Mitchell asks for Emerald’s help in convicting her own murderer, Emerald can’t refuse. Along with her friends-an ex-supermodel and a cop-and her new love interest, Emerald must search for clues to put the killer behind bars-and this tortured soul to rest.

Great read. Engaging characters and interesting story.,
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and dashed right out to buy the other two in the series. I highly recommend reading them in order. The books are sophisticated cozies, if you must. The characters are introduced well in the first book and the author makes you care about them—dead and alive. It’s not too over the top with sex (per another reader) or ghosts. If you like a little supernatural flavor in your mysteries, you will enjoy these. If you just like cozies, I think you will still like this series. If you like Charmed on TV, you’ll like this series and be able to visualize what the author is articulating so very well. I hope she keeps writing and writing and writing. A great series.

|Couldn’t Even Finish It!,
I was really excited about this book, but was disappointed to find that I just couldn’t get that interested in it! I tried about five or six times to pick it back up, but finally quit for good.
A couple of main points that bothered me…there may be some “SPOILERS” ahead:
-as another reviewer mentioned, the sex scenes are just way too much and totally unexpected in this genre, a total turn off;
-I felt as though I had started in the middle of a series. I don’t mind when authors refer to something in the characters’ past, for example, I didn’t mind that it was already known by the town that Emerald had psychic powers or that her tea shop was already established, but I started to feel like there was just way too much going on…her friend Harlow’s wild past is just dumped out in the middle of the book, perhaps she could have introduced her son’s psychic powers, etc. Just felt like too much had already gone on;
-the “mystery” part was a REALLY boring, dit nothing to draw me in and make me care what happened, and this was midway through the book!

|A Working Single Mom Running a Successful Business, Solving Murders, and Battling Ghoulies,
As if a main character named Emerald O’Brien isn’t intriguing enough. Emerald O’Brien is a working single mom who’s getting used to raising her two children without much support from their father (her ex-husband). She owns her own tea shop where she also provides warm meals and tarot readings. She also sees dead people, but she’s okay with that. Until one night a woman appears to tell her that she’d been murdered by her husband. The next morning, Emerald reads that a local romance novelist died of natural causes. Emerald enlists the help of her children, her best friends, and a new (and of course single man) friend. They battle live murderers, paranormal ghoulies, and a busy Christmas shopping season in an entertaining and sometimes downright scary read. Think twice before reading this one in bed! A fun read. I’m looking forward to more Chintz & China Mysteries!
