Mina Thorne thought opening a matcha and pastry shop in the charming coastal town of Whispering Bay would give her the fresh start she needed. Instead, on the very day her new shop opens, a local businessman is found dead behind it, and Mina quickly finds herself caught in a murder investigation.

There is something unusual about Mina, however. When she touches certain objects, she can glimpse the memories they carry. What begins as a strange gift soon becomes an unexpected tool in solving the mystery, as forgotten objects reveal clues that others cannot see.

But Whispering Bay is full of secrets, old grudges, hidden motives, and people who have plenty of reasons to want the truth buried. With a determined detective by her side and a killer who may be watching her every move, Mina must uncover the truth before she becomes the next victim.

Perfect for readers who love cozy mysteries, small-town murder mysteries, paranormal mysteries, amateur sleuths, charming seaside settings, and intriguing supernatural twists, A Spell of Matcha and Murder invites you into a town where every object may hold a secret and every secret may be deadly.
