Death in the Dillweeds
(2026)(The first book in the Apothecary Shop Mysteries series)
A novel by Kristy Tate
Welcome to Blue Heron Bay, where the tea is herbal, and the gossip is lethal.
After years as a cruise ship chef, Amelia Bellamy returns home to inherit her grandmother’s Victorian house, a bad-tempered Maine Coon, and an apothecary shop full of strange old remedies.
Then a local football coach turns up dead in the herb garden during Gram’s funeral wake.
Now Amelia, her first-love-turned-sheriff, and four meddling septuagenarians known as the Silver Sisters are hunting a killer in a town where everyone has secrets—and some recipes were never meant to be uncovered.
Because in Blue Heron Bay, even innocent herbs can leave a bitter aftertaste.
Genre: Mystery
