Cinnamon and the Clue in the Cardamom: The Catmint Chronicles Book 1

By Amanda Sterczyk

Heartbreak drove her to the British countryside. A missing recipe book and a magical cat might decide if she can stay.

When Rowan Thorne inherits her late aunt's caf and herb shop in the village of Cresswell-on-Wyrd, she also receives a troubling note: Betty's recipe book vanished shortly before her death. Hoping to save the business-and maybe herself-Rowan trades New York's chaos for a countryside steeped in suspicion, superstition, and a strict loyalty to black tea.

Reopening Black Thumb Betty's means navigating wary locals, skeptical councils, and a cat named Cinnamon who only talks when cardamom is nearby.

As Rowan searches for the missing book and the source of Cinnamon's chatter, she stirs up old secrets, new theories, and just the right amount of speculation.

Perfect for fans of magical cats and quiet mysteries without the body count, Cinnamon and the Clue in the Cardamom is the first in a cozy new series steeped in secrets, steeped in spice.

Curl up with Cinnamon today and discover the magic waiting in every spice jar.
