Synopsis (Goodreads):
Pebble Cove is not the sleepy coastal town Rosemary remembers from her childhood. Ghosts are everywhere, and only she can see them.

When Rosemary Woodmere inherits her estranged grandmother's Victorian teahouse, she doesn’t expect to also inherit a ghost named Asher from the 1920s.

Things get weirder for Rosemary.

Her grandma was supposedly murdered.

A body washes up on the beach, and the police suspect her of the man's murder.

She's trying to navigate her newfound ability to talk to ghosts.

And she doesn't even know the first thing about tea.

Rosemary's experience as a librarian hasn't prepared her to solve a murder, but everyone around her is steeped in suspicion, and she has to find the truth before someone else ends up dead.
Thoughts on Steeped in Suspicion: Rosemary has A LOT going on. She's just inherited her estranged grandmother's house and tea shop after her sudden death, she realizes she sees (and can interact) with ghosts, and a dead body just washed up on the beach by her new house. Yeah. She's dealing with plenty and the suspicious police chief isn't making things easy for her.

That *might* be because she thinks her grandmother didn't pass as naturally as everyone thinks. Or it *could* be because she's been observed talking to thin air (thanks to the aforementioned ghosts only she can see). Or *maybe* it's because she found a body and stumbled over her telling of how she found it because no one knows the ghosts are around except her.

Regardless, she's on the chief's suspect list and she's digging around about her grandmother's last days. Fortunately, that ghost seeing business she's now dealing with helps her out in more ways than one.

A little danger, some neighbors who are more neighborly than they originally seemed, a ghost with a bit of a murky past, some dastardly goings on around town, and a lady who's trying to figure out what she should do with this new ability AND the house she's been left. *thumbs up*
