Madame Pompette Steals the Scene

By Libby Castle

Lights, camera... murder

Indian summer has settled over Saint-Luke's-Upon-the-Water, and Charlotte Pompette, ex-circus fortune teller turned tea shop owner, is enjoying long, lazy days filled with nothing more dramatic than chasing Tarot's escape-artist kitten around the village. Life is blissfully quiet and predictably peaceful.

Until Hollywood comes calling, that is.

When the award-winning television series The Village Doctor announces it's filming in Saint-Luke's-Upon-the-Water, the entire village buzzes with excitement. But glamour quickly turns deadly when the show's tyrannical director is found murdered on set.

With cast and crew closing ranks and secrets lurking behind every camera angle, Charlie finds herself with a front-row seat to the investigation, literally, when she's recruited as an extra.

As storm clouds gather and the killer grows bolder, Charlie must use all her cold-reading skills to separate genuine emotions from Oscar-worthy performances. Because in this production, the final act could be her last.

Witty, charming, and full of delicious twists, Madame Pompette's Tea Shop returns with a cozy mystery caper perfect for fans of Agatha Raisin and The Thursday Murder Club.
