Every Tuesday for eleven months, Arthur Penhaligon ordered the same cup of Earl Grey at the same corner table of The Steeping Leaf. Then one morning he folded his newspaper, took a sip, and never stood up again.
Tea shop owner Eleanor Hart has been in Maple Hollow barely a year, and she has learned one thing about small towns: everyone is friendly, and everyone is watching. So when the retired history teacher dies at his usual table, and the police call it a heart attack, Eleanor almost believes them.
Then Arthur's solicitor delivers a wax-sealed letter.
Inside are two things: a brass key, and eleven words in Arthur's careful hand - Do not trust everyone in this town. Some secrets are worth killing for.
The key opens safe-deposit box 417. What Eleanor finds inside pulls her into a forty-year-old conspiracy of bribed officials, poisoned land, and a missing woman named Margaret O'Shay. The half of Maple Hollow that smiles at her over the tea counter has spent decades keeping that box shut. And one of them is already wondering what Eleanor knows.
Because Arthur Penhaligon was not the first body in this sleepy Maine town. And if Eleanor isn't careful, he will not be the last.
A Teaspoon of Murder is the first book in the Steeping Leaf Mysteries: warm, witty, tea-soaked cozy mysteries for readers who like their small towns charming, their heroines stubborn, and their secrets buried deep. Pour yourself a cup and settle in - this one is best read in one sitting, with the kettle close at hand.
