Charlie Kingsley is not a private investigator. She makes and sells custom teas out of her home. Which is why she initially refused to look into a recent case of a bar that had burned down.
Yes, it was tragic that the owner's body was found inside. But this is an arson case, and what does Charlie possibly know about arson?
Except...one of the waitresses is missing.
Who's pregnant.
Who everyone thought was having an affair with the owner of the bar.
How can Charlie say no to the owner's widow? And when Charlie accidentally finds the pregnant waitress, things start to take a strange turn. And suddenly, Charlie finds herself thrust into a decades-old mystery that haunts Redemption to this day.
A mystery that could very well cost Charlie her life.
Meet Charlie. Also known as Aunt Charlie from the award-winning Secrets of Redemption series.
She's back, making teas and solving cases in this funny, twisty, cozy mystery series set in the 1990s in Redemption, Wisconsin. If you love a no-nonsense amateur sleuth, quirky characters, pets, small town deadly secrets and a touch of romance, the Charlie Kingsley Mysteries may be your next favorite cozy mystery series.
For fans of Agatha Christie (especially Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot), Louise Penny (Chief Inspector Gamache/Three Pines), Aurora Teagarden by Charlaine Harris, Books by Maddie Day and Murder She Wrote.
All the Charlie Kingsley books can be read as a standalone (but you might enjoy them more if you read them in order).
