Phoebe Winchester is beginning to get her new life together following her divorce, and the wonderful inheritance from her late Aunt Eudora. Besides the house, bookshop/tea store, great friends, and a cat named Bob, Phoebe also discovered she is a witch. Then there is the uncanny, and unnerving, ability to find dead bodies.
When Phoebe and Bob go to a nearby estate sale, all Phoebe was hoping to find was a collection of gently used books, not the estate sale manger’s bludgeoned body. Worried that she is a suspect, Phoebe goes about trying to clear her name, and someone really wants her to stop snooping.
This series is one of my favorites, because of the character developments, but I do wish that Phoebe didn’t follow one of my biggest pet peeves with mystery novels. I love how all of the characters relationships just feel natural, especially Dierdre Miller. Bob the cat is one of the best sidekicks, and if you don’t believe that cats could act like this, please come over and I’ll introduce you to two escape artists.
The descriptions of everything are on point. I find myself wanting sourdough bread as well as ricotta cheese. I especially love tea, so I would love to try any of these flavors. This is a series that makes you want to put on the comfiest clothes, grab your reading buddy as well as a snack, and don’t forget your own tea (whether hot or iced).
Overall, I rate this novel 5 out of 5 stars.
