Mystic Brews & Murder
(2026)(The first book in the Magical Teashop Mysteries series)
A novel by Karen McSpade
A witchy teashop. A knitting competition. A murder mystery that unravels dark town secrets.
When Samara Snow opens Mystic Brews, her dream teashop in the charming coastal town of Winter Haven, Maine, this midlife witch hopes for nothing more than a fresh start. But when she stumbles upon a local knitting champion’s body in her apartment stairwell, her peaceful new life is steeped in danger.
The police are on the hunt for a suspect, but Samara isn’t prepared when suspicion falls on Jack Andrews—a rugged fisherman she’s been trying not to fall for. Determined to clear his name, she teams up with her best friend Ruby, a nosy knitting circle, and her mysterious talking black cat to uncover the truth. What she finds is a tangled web of long-buried secrets, a motive for murder, and a local who seems far too interested in keeping everything quiet.
As another body drops and threats start hitting closer to home, Samara must trust her instincts—and her magic—to uncover the truth before she becomes the next victim. Will she solve the case in time, or will her new life in Winter Haven come to a deadly end?
Perfect for fans of witchy mysteries, charming small towns, quirky witty characters, and talking familiars!
