Food & Spirits Mysteries Books in Order

The Food & Spirits Mysteries take Darci Hannah’s love of food, old buildings, and ghost stories, and push them all onto the same stage. The series follows chef Bunny MacBride, who lands what looks like a dream career break on a reality show called Food & Spirits. Bunny signs on thinking the title refers to food and cocktails. Instead, the job turns out to involve haunted houses, lingering ghosts, and murders that are very much of this world.

It is a fun setup, and Hannah gets a lot out of it.

Bunny’s role on the show is to cook meaningful meals that might tempt the dead to appear. That puts her alongside ghost hunter Brett Bloom and psychic medium Giff McGrady, while cameras roll in some deeply atmospheric places. In A Fatal Feast at Bramsford Manor, the crew heads to a haunted manor in Hampshire, England, where the legend of the Mistletoe Bride hangs over the house. In A Spirited Supper at Dundoon Castle, the action shifts to a haunted Scottish castle with its own bloody history and ghostly piper.

The settings do more than look spooky. Each location is also a workplace, a performance space, and a nest of suspects. Hotel owners, crew members, guests, local history, and family connections all get folded into the mysteries. Because Bunny is preparing elaborate meals in the middle of all this, the books keep one foot in culinary cozy territory even while the ghostly atmosphere grows stronger.

Bunny herself is a good guide through the mix. She is practical enough to be wary of nonsense, but open enough to realize that something genuinely strange may be happening around her. As the series goes on, she discovers that she has unexpected sensitivities of her own, which raises the stakes nicely. Her Grandma Mac adds warmth and a family anchor, while the TV crew brings a slightly chaotic, behind-the-scenes energy that keeps the books moving.

These mysteries are more openly paranormal than Hannah’s other series, but they still feel cozy rather than grim.

What should you expect, then? Think haunted legends, sharply timed murders, TV production headaches, comforting food, and a heroine who would rather focus on her menu but keeps getting pulled into other people’s secrets. The ongoing arc is not just about solving cases. It is also about Bunny growing into her career, dealing with the supernatural instead of dodging it, and deciding how much of this strange new life she is willing to accept. If you like cozies with travel, recipes, and genuine ghost-story flavor, this series leans happily in that direction.
