Pebble Cove is home to more than just fishermen, Victorian houses, and coastal beauty. It also harbors long-running feuds and buried secrets.When a local man drops dead after drinking a matcha tea latte, Rosemary Woodmere suspects foul play. As a witness to the murder, she’s called in for questioning.At the station, she meets a new ghost and learns the town’s police force has a dark past when it … police force has a dark past when it comes to covering up murder. She might be off the hook, but can she let the case go when she fears the police might be repeating history?
To make things even more difficult, Rosemary’s life with ghosts is getting complicated. While she searches for the truth about how Asher died, Rosemary attempts to help a local spirit encountering her own difficulties with her death. And while a little ghostly help might give Rosemary a leg up in this case, will it be enough when she comes face-to-face with the real killer?
Readers, this is the second book in a new cozy mystery series by Eryn Scott. These books are all clean with no gore and no swearing. Starting from the beginning with this series will provide the best reading experience. The ghosts are the only paranormal aspect in the series. And there are definitely cats because … well, there has to be. 🙂

Rosemary goes to the Pebble Cove Tea Company to see what the competition is doing. She talks to a man who dies of poisoning. Since the Chief is not Rosemary’s fan and seems to be enamored with one of the obvious suspects, Rosemary enlists Asher’s help you find the truth. I got into this story from the beginning, having enjoyed book 1 in the Pebble Cove mystery series and especially liked Rosemary’s character development about trauma in her past.

I very much enjoyed Steeped in Suspicion (the first book in this series); however, I LOVED this second book! I love watching the character progression in Rosemary and Asher, I love their friendship, and I love all of the ghosts, I mean spirits, and the live human characters in Pebble Cove. I read most of this in one sitting (as I did the first) because it’s so readable and I had to know what happened. I can’t wait for the next book in the series!

I am a fan of Eryn Scott’s so when she has a new book, I *have* to read it. They’re fun and I love her characters. This book is no different. I really enjoyed reading it. I can’t wait for the next one.

Rosemary and Asher are becoming my favorite people. I love the way they trust each other and lean on each other. This series is wonderful. I cannot wait for the next book in the series. Eryn Scott has a fan for life, and I will continue to read whatever books she writes.
Rosemary is concerned that things are slow at her tea shop. She decides to go to into the downtown area of Pebble Creek to check out her competition, Jolene. Jolene serves some yummy bakery products, but Rosemary’s cup of Earl Gray tea is oversteeped and hardly drinkable. While sitting at the cafe table, Rosemary observes some interaction between Jolene, her ex and his girlfriend. The girlfriend complains that her matcha drink tastes like grass and exchanges drinks with boyfriend Murray. After just a couple sips, Murray falls over and dies, after attempts to revive him fail. Was Jolene seeking revenge and the drink was meant to kill the girlfriend or is someone else responsible ?
MATCHA DO ABOUT MURDER is the second in author Eryn Scott’s Pebble Cove series. The reader definitely needs to read STEEPED IN SUSPICION, the first novel to avoid being lost and confused. I found that I enjoyed this second story even more than the first. The author developed the small town of Pebble Creek even more fully as well as giving more background to Rosemary and her “spirit” friend, Asher. Rosemary continues to do more research on Asher’s background to find out why he is still around more than 100 years after his death.The reader also meets some rather quirky characters and other “spirits” along the way, too.
Eryn Scott knows how to weave the elements of a cozy mystery into a fabulous blend of suspense with surprises. I look forward to the third trip into Pebble Creek soon.

A great little cozy mystery with so much more!
What a fantastic story! I simply love the characters in this series. I can hardly wait for the release of the next book. This is one author that I am definitely following.
It was an entertaining and easy read. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys spending an evening reading a good mystery story with oh-so-much more!
Eryn Scott returns to Rosemary, Asher, and Pebble Cove with Matcha Do About Murder. I love this cozy mystery series with a ghostly twist, and I am really glad as her Pepper Brooks series is ending soon.
Rosemary and Asher are a great team, and both facing issues outside the murder they are trying to solve. She is working to keep the tea house she inherited from her grandmother afloat. He is trying to figure out how he died and fill in missing memories from that time. Despite not having the same life experiences as her, I felt that Rosemary was a really relatable character and wished her tea house was a real place to visit.
The mystery was interesting, too. I thought I had figured out part of it, but there were some nice twists and turns to keep it interesting. As everything played out there was also more information revealed about Asher and Rosemary settled into small town life in Pebble Cove. I cannot wait for the next book to see what happens next.
Thank you to the author for providing an ARC for an honest review.
I knew I was going to love this series part way through the first book, and this second one is even better! Not being into paranormal made me unsure but I like the bit of humour added to the drama and the ghosts are amazing characters. It adds to the story that there is a mystery to the ghost history. I’d really love to be able to go for a visit to this town with it’s quirky residents. I was gifted a copy of this book and this is my honest review. This series will definitely be a ‘read again’ group of books.
This series just gets better and better ,The characters and town are so well written that I want to make my way to Pebble Cove and go to Tea at the Sea for an Iced, Iced Tea (and yes the Iced is plural on purpose) and wait to feel the chill of Asher as he sits by me as I talk with Rosemary at the big table,
In book 2 Tea at the Sea is quiet. unusually so, but Jolene has reopened Pebble Cove Tea Company the tea shop in the centre of town. Rosemary decides to check out the opposition, Rosemary is not vindictive she does not harbor any resentment, surely there can be room for both businesses in town, As she sits down drama ensues!! Another death and Rosemary is right there, with the Chief of Police looking at her like a suspect ….again.
So gathering her unique PI’s together she decides to investigate herself, buthas she pushed her ghostly friends to far
A really good strong story with Rosie meeting more residents of Pebble Cove both alive and spiritual, fleshing her out more as a character and the towns residents, there are plenty of red herrings and fun along the way.
I can highly recommend this series it is really good and I look forward to seeing where it goes

This series should be read in order. I wish I had known. Read the first book before this one. I did notice this had repeating which I do not like.
Kept moving along. A good page turner.
