Steeped in Malice by Vicki Delany

5.0

Steeped in Malice is the fourth cozy mystery in the Tea by the Sea Mysteries series. Lily Roberts, owner of a tearoom and amateur sleuth, finds herself wrapped up in another investigation when a hidden envelope turns up in a tea set she bought. As always, Lily, her friend, Bernie, and her grandmother, Rose, stick their noses into the case and solve the mystery before the police.

I have enjoyed this series from the beginning and this book is no different. I love the tearoom and B&B setting and am always excited to be pulled back here. The main characters are fun and engaging and the mystery keeps you guessing as you move from suspect to suspect. This was a very fun read and I look forward to seeing what comes next for Lily and the gang!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book!
