Mystic Brews & Mayhem
(2026)(The third book in the Magical Teashop Mysteries series)
A novel by Karen McSpade
‘With the witchy charm of Practical Magic and the trapped-with-a-killer suspense of And Then There Were None, Mystic Brews & Mayhem serves up a paranormal cozy mystery steeped in magic, secrets, and murder.’
Starting over at midlife is hard. Doing it with magic—and a Christmas party turned murder scene—is harder.
Midlife witch Samara Snow has finally settled into Winter Haven, Maine, with her magical teashop, her talking familiar, a loyal found family, and a slow-burn romance with the handsome fisherman Jack Andrews. For once, life feels warm, cozy, and almost normal.
Until the mayor’s holiday party at the grand Jacobs Estate turns deadly.
When someone murders a powerful businessman during the festivities, a snowstorm traps Samara inside the old mansion with a guest list full of suspects. As Christmas cheer turns into suspicion, Samara uncovers bitter family secrets, dangerous grudges, a fortune worth killing for, and a killer hiding among the holiday guests.
With her cat, Pumpkin, sniffing out clues, a nosy knitting circle refusing to stay out of the investigation, and Jack acting stranger by the hour, will Samara’s midlife magic help her untangle gossip from evidence and secrets from deadly truth before the killer strikes again?
Witchy, warm, and delightfully twisty, Mystic Brews & Mayhem is a spellbinding paranormal cozy mystery with a supernatural twist—perfect for readers who love midlife heroines, talking cats, quirky found family, supernatural creatures, closed-door paranormal romance, cozy vibes, and mysteries that keep you guessing.
