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.
