Eerie Estes Mysteries

In this small Colorado mountain town, the tea is hot, the books are old, and the ghosts have stories that are dying to be told.

In the quaint, mountain-shadowed town of Estes Park, Colorado, investigative journalist Ellie Read inherits a peculiar legacy: Spines & Steeps, a book and tea shop brimming with secrets and ghostly whispers.

Expecting to sell the quirky store and return to her life in Manhattan, Ellie is unwittingly drawn into a web of murder, mystery, and ghostly goings-on.

When a celebrity spiritualist's body is found on a hiking trail clutching Ellie's business card, it makes her the prime suspect, forcing her to trade deadlines for detective work in a town where everyone knows her name, and the books have a mind of their own.

With a cast of eccentric locals, a mischievous cat named Hobbes, and a shop that at times is more haunted than charming, Ellie uncovers a family history steeped in the unknown.

From cryptic tea blends to shelves that rearrange themselves, Spines & Steeps holds clues that could clear her name . . . or steep her in danger.

Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with a paranormal twist, Steeped in Mystery serves up a tantalizing blend of humor, heart, and spine-chilling suspense that will leave readers desperate to turn the page and join Ellie’s unforgettable adventure.
