Murder has a habit of coming back to haunt you...
As autumn comes to an end in Saint-Luke's-Upon-the-Water, Charlotte Pompette, ex-circus fortune teller turned tea shop owner, is dreading the inevitable Halloween nonsense. With her cats Tarot and Delphi already spooked by every falling leaf, the last thing she needs is more drama.
And then an old friend arrives on her doorstep with a desperate plea for help.
Something sinister is stirring at Alton Castle, and Charlie's cold-reading skills are exactly what's needed to investigate. She doesn't believe in ghosts, but the castle has a way of making sceptics doubt themselves. And when a body turns up, it's clear the real danger is very much alive.
Charlie knows who did it. Getting out alive is another matter entirely...
Charming, witty, and spine-tinglingly twisty, Madame Pompette's Tea Shop returns with anothercozy mystery adventure perfect for fans of Agatha Raisin and The Thursday Murder Club.
