Welcome to Pembroke Cove, where witches and murders are multiplying.

A fall festival, reading tea leaves and a few clues propel Lily into a new murder investigation.

Bookstore owner Lily Michaels still doesn't know which kind of witch she's going to be. She's planning to read fortunes at her parents' tea booth at the Fall Festival in the small town of Pembroke Cove, Maine. Is that her gift? Her snarky familiar, Milo, isn't a lot of help. Lily's mother warned her that reading the leaves would change someone's life. Lily's ready to make some changes of her own. Her relationship with Detective Gage Erikson-a.k.a. Detective Cutie- seems to be stuck in the perpetual friend zone. Maybe it's time she went on a real date with someone else, like the new guy in town, Dax Peters.

Gage would like nothing more than to go on a real date with Lily, but romance will have to take the back burner when he's is called to investigate another murder. Someone cut short the life of successful rose grower, Dean Hartley. Since when does horticulture lead to homicide?

Gage would be thrilled if Lily stuck to reading tea leaves and stayed out of trouble, but that's just not in her puzzle-loving personality. Why were all the garden club members arguing with Dean at the festival? When Lily teams up with Gage once again in the race to resolve the rose-grower's murder, can she continue to keep both her feelings and her magic a secret from Gage? Or will roses finally lead to romance for them?

Tea and Trouble is the third novel in A Book Store Cozy Mystery Series, although each book can be read as standalone. A sweet and clean cozy mystery with a guaranteed the culprit is caught. Happy reading!
