Murder in a Cup
Self-taught "seer" Shay has much to learn as autumn hits the quaint coastal town of Bray Harbor. Since attempting the art of blending herbs at her popular shop, Crystals & CuriosiTeas, she's set on growing ingredients in the mysterious greenhouse on the second floor-if only she can separate the medicinal plants from the deadly ones. Her new skills are put to the test when she meets pub owner and ex-detective Liam Madigan's Gran. A psychic from Ireland known for interpreting tea leaves and people, Gran encourages Shay to build upon her natural talents and hold her own group reading . . .



Despite Shay's reservations about putting herself in the spotlight, the evening goes off without a hitch. At least, until she does a reading and a customer goes from chatty to dead in a flash, poisoned after sipping a toxic substance recently grown in the greenhouse. Worse, Shay's assistant is suspected of intentionally serving the lethal brew and committing cold-blooded murder. Now, aided only by Liam and her dog Spirit, Shay must exonerate her employee and save the future of Crystals & CuriosiTeas. But when clues start lining up like leaves in a teacup, she'll need to understand the signs right in front of her to catch the manipulative murderer before it's too late . . .

Shop owner Shayleigh Myers continues to defend her legacy against threats worldly and otherworldly.

Shay never knew her mother, Bridget Early, but she received two precious gifts from her: Crystals & CuriosiTEAS, a tea shop in Bray Harbor, California, and an amulet containing a mysterious blue stone. The first she runs as a means of making a living and sharing her mother’s herbal healing secrets with her neighbors. The second she wears on a cord around her neck, showing it only to a select number of family members and friends. Now Peter Graham is threatening to ruin Shay’s business with a lawsuit accusing her of indoctrinating his teenage daughter, Tassi, into the practice of witchcraft through Tassi’s part-time job at CuriosiTEAS. In the meantime, Shay’s neighbor Liam Madigan alerts her to the possibility of a messenger sent from the old country who has his eye on her amulet. Liam’s Gran, recently relocated to Bray Harbor from Ireland, has a wealth of information about Shay’s lineage, though she parcels it out sparingly for fear of overwhelming Shay with too-powerful knowledge of her ancestors’ association with seers and fairies. While Shay is intrigued by Gran’s folk wisdom, she has a more pedestrian task ahead of her: finding out who poisoned Peter’s girlfriend, Jasmine Massey, before the police charge Tassi with the crime.

For readers who like their whodunits with a supernatural twist.
