As an eclectic tea shop owner descended from an Irish witch, intuitive
Shay Myers has been living her most authentic life since moving home to
California's scenic Monterey Peninsula. Yet not even her heightened
senses can predict how to run a business--or catch a killer . . .
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 . . .
