Turmoil after Talismans
(2026)(The eighth book in the Mystic Haven Tea Shop Mystery series)
A novel by TH Costello and Kat McGee
The annual Mystic Haven Ladies' Auxiliary Tea Party is the social event of the season. Fiona Shaw is catering it, which means she's about to serve up more backstabbing than her signature Earl Grey blend.
Every witch in town would trade their best tea set for an invitation to Cordelia Ashworth's legendary party. Fiona's supplying her finest loose-leaf teas, delicate pastries, and professional service. What she didn't expect to provide was crisis management when the guests start brewing trouble stronger than her exotic blends.
The chaos starts when someone's prized talisman collection disappears faster than free samples at a tea tasting. Accusations steep like over-brewed oolong, turning bitter and impossible to swallow. When Cordelia is found taking her final rest in the rose garden, clutching a stolen protection charm, Fiona realizes someone's been blending murder with the afternoon tea service.
The killer chose their moment perfectly, striking when everyone was distracted by Fiona's chamomile-lavender blend and cucumber sandwiches. With Rowan, the local handyman and potential boyfriend, helping her strain the truth from the lies and the bookstore's feline familiar, Theo, providing his usual perceptive observations, Fiona must solve a mystery that's been steeping in resentment for decades.
With this murderer having picked the perfect blend of secrets and deceit, Fiona struggles to prove that in her tea shop, the only thing getting served cold is justice.
