"Everly Swan, owner of the Sun, Sand, and Tea shop on the small island of Charm, North Carolina, has never been overly fond of her two great-aunts' beekeeping hobby. Especially when an aging actress they had hired to appear in a documentary about bees turns up dead, and really puts a bee in Everly's bonnet.

Bees, bees, bees, it's all about the bees as Hollywood icon, Mitzi Calgon, comes to town to lend her voice to a documentary about beekeeping and saving the bees for Clara and Fran Swan. Before the project even gets off the ground there is a buzz in the air and one dead actress. Everly's focus should be on her ice tea shop but she can't get her mind off that Mitzi knew her grandmother and that she has to get her justice even when she is given a huge warning to "Bee Careful".
The Sun, Sand, and Tea in Charm, North Carolina is a place I would love to spend day after day even with all the drama of a murder.
Ms. Baker gas penned a multifaceted story. We have the recent murder, Detective Grady Hays is dealing with a family issue that has been building over the course of the series. He has also been pulling away from Everly. The excellent character development continues as all the core characters are still evolving nicely. The characters added for this story brought some intrigue. I just wish Mitzi hadn't been the victim. She was a woman full of stories.
The mystery was very well-plotted and written. I did enjoy that Everly gets help from someone other than Grady and that there were plenty of suspects, secrets, twists, and a surprising reveal. The pace was perfect and I was totally delighted with this book.
Ideal setting, a captivating mystery, and terrific characters make A Call for Kelp a fun and entertaining cozy mystery readers will love. Each book leaves me wanting more. I can't wait to return to Charm.
