Mist, Murder and Marmalade

In Bloomsbury, 1857, the sharpest detective on the street keeps a shop, a teapot, and a grandmother who happens to be dead.

Clara Wetherly is an apothecary with a gift for reading people the way she reads her tea leaves — and a secret she tells no one: her late grandmother Genevieve has never quite left the shop, and makes her feelings known in drifts of lavender and tarot cards that slide loose of the deck. So when death comes calling, Clara brews a remedy, turns a card, and — to the despair of one very proper Inspector Redgrave — goes looking for the truth. A sixteen-pound tabby named Marmalade supervises every step.

This paperback collects two Clara Wetherly mystery novellas — in print for the first time:

A Seance at Seven Bells — A Halloween séance turns deadly, and Clara must tell a real ghost from a false one.

The Ladies, the Cat, and the Corpse — The formidable Ladies of Bloomsbury take up their very first inquiry of their own: a body, a houseful of secrets, and a death everyone else is content to call an accident.

Both stories were previously available only as ebooks. This edition gathers them together with exclusive bonus material found nowhere else — a note on the season, a tarot reading, an apothecary recipe, a word from Marmalade, and a glimpse of a certain Friday yet to come.

Cozy, clever, and faintly haunted — with tea, tarot, a ghost who won't mind her own business, and a cat who's quite sure he's in charge.

Perfect for fans of Deanna Raybourn and Victoria Thompson.
