I picked this up purely because I liked her urban fantasy series and I do like reading mysteries even if I haven't read any cozy ones. I ended up reading all the books in the series and enjoying them. The first one has the ghost of a murdered woman appearing to Emerald begging for help to prove she was murdered. The only problem with this is Emerald owns a tea shop and reads tarot cards on the side, she isn't a detective. But the case gets solved in the end. I liked this because she isn't perfect and neither are her friends that are helping her with the case.
