Death Steeps in The
Tea Leaves
Mari Vega thought the quiet town of Boothbay Harbor would be the perfect escape from her messy divorce. A surprise inheritance—the quaint but slightly crumbling tea shop her late aunt left behind—seemed like the chance to start over. But on her very first reading of tea leaves, Mari sees troubling symbols: a dagger, a mule, and a casket.
When a local turns up dead, Mari and her mischievous Siamese cat, Oracle, are steeped in more than just tea. With the skeptical town cop warning her to “leave the detective work to the professionals,” Mari must rely on her curiosity, quick wit, and a few intuitive readings to unravel the truth.
Between quirky townsfolk, suspicious neighbors, and more than one person with something to hide, Mari soon learns that Misty Haven is anything but sleepy. And if she’s not careful, the next set of tea leaves could be spelling out her own fate.
