Madame Pompette Cracks the Case: A Cozy Mystery (Madame Pompette's Tea Shop Book 6)
By Libby Castle
Some cases are murder to solve…
Forty years ago, Janey Stone was found beaten to death in a field outside Saint-Luke’s-Upon-the-Water. The only suspects? Her close-knit group of friends, known as The Six. But no arrest was ever made, and the case went cold.
As autumn settles over the village, Charlotte Pompette, ex-circus fortune teller and current tea shop owner, is looking forward to cozy evenings by the fire with good books, Tarot purring in her lap, and endless cups of tea. A forty-year-old murder mystery is the last thing on her mind.
Until Rosie’s unpredictable grandmother is revealed to be one of The Six, that is.
Suddenly dragged into investigating a cold case she never asked for, Charlie finds herself going undercover at the local school reunion, posing as a fortune teller to use her old cold-reading skills on the aging suspects. But when a fresh body turns up, the investigation takes a dangerous new turn. With two murders now connected to The Six, Charlie must unravel decades of buried secrets.
As the past and present collide and Charlie races toward a deadly confrontation, will Charlie’s new-found village family be able to save her in time?
Charming, witty, and brimful of twists, Madame Pompette’s Tea Shop returns with another cozy mystery adventure perfect for fans of Agatha Raisin and The Thursday Murder Club.
