(The first book in the Mystic Haven Tea Shop Mystery series)
A novel by

 
 
Getting lost was just the start of her midlife magical misadventure. In a fog along the shore, Fiona Shaw discovers inheriting a magical tea shop comes with a dead body, a talking cat, and witchy powers she didn't know she had.

Fiona is having a spectacularly bad day. As a personal assistant to the rich and famous, she's handled her fair share of stressful situations. But navigating Maine's foggy backroads with no phone signal and an empty gas tank wasn't on her agenda. With hair frizzed and heels sinking into the sand, she stumbles upon the peculiar town of Mystic Haven.

Desperate for directions and a strong cup of anything caffeinated, she steps into the Mystic Haven Tea Shop. Instead of help, she finds an eccentric shop owner with violet eyes and a knack for knowing too much. Before Fiona can make sense of the tarot card reader's cryptic chatter, she discovers the woman has been murdered. And, in the aftermath, the locals aren't exactly throwing a tea party for an outsider.

Now, she's stuck with a sarcastic Siamese cat who insists he's her magical mentor (because talking cats are apparently a thing), a deck of tarot cards that won't stay in one place, and spells that tend to backfire in the most inconvenient ways. Clearing her name was never in her skill set, but neither was accidentally turning the town fountain into a giant cup of tea.

With Mystic Haven's strangeness unraveling faster than you can say double, double toil and trouble, Fiona must embrace her newfound witchy abilities to solve the murder before she becomes the next victim.

After all, in a town where everyone is hiding something, it might just take a little magic to sleuth like a real witch.
