Don't marry into murder... Catering her childhood friend's beachfront wedding was a dream come true for Everly Swan--and, with hundreds of guests in attendance, great exposure for her new iced tea shop and caf . But when the well-to-do groom is found floating facedown in the surf, the locals of Charm, North Carolina, turn their suspicions to his new bride. Could she have been so desperate to lay her hands on his fortune that she arranged for his murder before they even set off on their honeymoon? Everly knows her love-struck friend couldn't be behind the murder, but with clues pointing in several directions, she can't decide which wedding guest is the most likely culprit. Meanwhile, the frustratingly handsome Detective Hays has made it clear that Everly should stay out of the investigation altogether. But with a killer on the loose and a feeling that someone is watching her caf very closely, Everly knows that if she can't solve this murder soon, her cake might be iced for good. The second book in Bree Baker's popular Seaside Caf Mystery series, No Good Tea Goes Unpunished is a delightfully deadly cozy mystery perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke and Kate Carlisle.

I ended up rating this book the same as the first one but in some ways, I liked it more and in others, I liked it less. I felt like this book was super slow in the middle and didn't keep me as intrigued. But I loved the character interaction in here cough Everly and Grady and I loved who ended up being the murder in the end.
This book has a very slice-of-life feel. The relationships are developing very slowly, over multiple books. It's kinda just following Everly in a short period of her life but with a mystery woven in. Very entertaining and quick read. Her aunts might just be the best part of the series for me though.
4 stars Loved this second instalment of the Seaside Cafe Mystery series! Bree Baker is becoming one of my favourite cozy writers. I love all the characters in this series. They all have great personalities and the dialogue is fresh and funny. In this one, Everly gets to cater her childhood friend's wedding which is a wonderful way to promote her recently opened beachfront sweet tea cafe, but the beautiful ceremony quickly turned to horror when the groom is found dead. And there's no doubt he's been murdered! Oh, and her ex shows up in town.
4.5 stars
The second murder mystery in the Everly Swan series. This time Everly has to deal with bride drama while her good friend's brand-new husband gets murdered on the beach right after the wedding! That wasn't what Everly was expecting, of course, and it makes it worse that she and her grieving friend are stuck right in the middle of the investigation and fielding jibes from the groom's outraged family and friends.
This has a smart mystery and I like Everly as an amateur investigator just as much as I did in the first book. This is one of my favorite cozy series and I bought the next book the same day I read this one.
Thanks to the publisher for a free reading copy. A favorable review was not required. Review is based on the final printed copy.
