A Carrow Harbor Witch Mystery
A tea-shop witch in a small New England harbor town solves one murder per book and the death of her aunt across all five.
The series
Dessa Pell inherits the Nettle and Thyme, her late aunt's tea shop on Wharf Lane, along with a large gray cat who talks to witches and nobody else. When someone drinks tea Dessa has brewed, she catches the scent of what they feel for about a minute. It points her somewhere. It never proves anything.
Each book covers one stretch of the season, and together the five run from October to the March equinox. Each closes its own case on evidence the police chief can use. Underneath runs one question: her aunt was found at the foot of the Cove Steps, and the cat says she did not fall.
