Story5 out of 5 stars 3
It's Christmastime in Charm, North Carolina, and while Everly Swan would prefer to focus on decorating her iced tea shop for its first holiday season, Great-Aunt Fran has decided to run for mayor against her long-time nemesis. But when the other candidate turns up dead just before the first scheduled debate, all eyes turn to Fran as the suspect with the most obvious motive. Everly knows her sweet, elderly Aunt Fran couldn't have murdered anyone, but as she struggles to find the real killer, it begins to seem like this may be the last merry Christmas her family may ever have.

Publisher's Summary
The deliciously delightful first audiobook in the new Seaside Cafe cozy mystery series.
Sun, sand, and tea are just three of Everly Swan's favorite things. Her batty, beekeeping great-aunts and small, coastal hometown of Charm, North Carolina, round out the top five. So returning to Charm for a fresh start on her wilting life is an easy decision for Everly, and opening a new seaside cafe and iced-tea shop puts the proverbial icing on her legendary lemon cakes.
Everything is just peachy until a body turns up on the boardwalk outside her home and a jar of her proprietary tea is found at the victim's side.
Now, Detective Grady Hays, Charm's newest and most mysterious lawman, has named Everly as his number-one suspect, and Everly's new start is about to go up in smoke unless she can dish up the real killer.

Perfect cozy
I quite enjoyed this. It had all the facets of a good cozy - the sweet and the saucy, the shady and the cranky, and the budding romance. I really wasn't sure until close to the end who the killer was, and it had a 'mystery within a mystery' involving Everly's bff. I'm on the way to grab some more credits to get the next in the series.
Aside from Grady sounding sort of like a guy with few teeth, I found the narration completely fine to listen to, and not at all objectionable. The perfect listen for a lazy Sunday while playing mindless games on my tablet or doing some knitting.

Almost Entertaining
Parts of this story had great potential, but main character Everly was too naïve and undisciplined to be a successful business owner. Who would start a small business without doing any research or creating a business plan? Wish more female authors would create intelligent, competent and compelling women characters, rather than scatter-brained Barbie dolls.

Big Mistake
I'm not sure why this book got such good reviews. The lead character has poor judgement and makes stupid decisions. I couldn't finish this book.

Utterly CHARMing
Who wouldn't wanna live in Charm, North Carolina? Sweet Tea and warm beaches, and a name like Everly . . . with two quirky great aunts who are beekeepers . . . sounds just about perfect . . . until a body turns up with a jar of your just made specialty tea beside it. Detective Grady Hays makes it his business to investigate. And it seems the victim didn't much like the tea shop or Everly. Or anybody. So who wanted to kill him the MOST? There's quite the mystery surrounding the Swan family in Charm and the aunts aren't totally forthcoming when Everly tries to pry it out of them. Which makes the second in the series a MUST!!! The search for the murderer and Everly's run-ins with Detective Hays are both entertaining and cause for stress. This tale is full of small town goodness, closeness and individuality. Excellent resolution to the crime . . . Can't wait for the next in the series!

I’m almost finished with the entire series and I love these endearing people so much! Clean, easy flow, fantastic narration, and romance but without sexing it up. Perfect series!

Sleuth is more emotional than rational
I do not like mysteries where the sleuth is an idiot or behaves like one. I found that Everly lacked common sense and had a bull in a china shop approach to sleuthing. I prefer my sleuths to be more intelligent and observant than emotional and clueless. The way the mystery was solved and the reasons for the murders was not very satisfying. It was as though it was time to wrap up the book, so insert murder attempt by guilty party. I probably won't read anymore from this series.
There narration was pretty nice I will definitely listen to this narrator in the future.

I love fluffy reads but the story and main character for Live and Let Chai was simply dumb. The reader didn’t help. Baffled by the positive reviews.

Cute but
I won’t spend another credit on any more in this series, it was a fun and easy listen but not worth using a credit.
