TEMPEST IN THE TEA LEAVES
TEMPEST IN THE TEA LEAVES
A FORTUNE TELLER MYSTERY
BY KARI LEE TOWNSEND
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Using various fortune telling tools to interpret her visions, Sunny seeks to aid the residents of Divinity, New York. But when she uses tea leaves to read the frazzled town librarian, what lies at the bottom of the cup is anything but helpful.
FIRST IN A NEW SERIES!
In the fortune telling business there are a lot of pretenders, but Sunshine Meadows is the real deal--and her predictions can be lethally accurate...
Sunny is a big city psychic who moves to the quaint town of Divinity, NY to open her fortune telling business in an ancient Victorian house, inheriting the strange cat residing within. Sunny gives her first reading to the frazzled town librarian and discovers the woman is going to die.
When the woman flees in terror, Sunny calls the police, only she's too late. The ruggedly handsome, hard-nosed detective is a "non-believer." He finds the librarian dead, and Sunny becomes his number one suspect, forcing her to prove her innocence before the real killer can put an end to the psychic's future.
PRAISE FOR TEMPEST IN THE TEA LEAVES:
"Fun and fortunetelling await readers in this first-rate debut mystery featuring a young and feisty psychic. Mitch is the perfect adversary for Sunny, and their constant bantering provides plenty of madcap situations to entertain readers. Great pacing, characters and a surprisingly good conclusion make this new series absolute fun!"
--Sandra Martin, RT Book Reviews
"My tea leaves and my tarot cards agree--Kari Lee Townsend is riding a bullet-train straight to the top. I predict this vivacious, talented author will soon join the ranks of the superstars. Tempest in the Tea Leaves is a stellar launch for the Fortune Teller Mysteries, and every one of them is destined to become a classic. The author herself--well, she already is. And soon the whole world will know it!"
--NY Times Bestselling Author of Twilight Prophecy, Maggie Shayne
"You don't need a crystal ball to predict a bright future for Townsend's Fortune Teller mystery series!"
--Author of Clutches and Curses, Dorothy Howell
"Stephanie Plum, watch out! A perky, quirky psychic named Sunny Meadows is right behind you and catching up. The smart, funny, and gutsy fortune teller is a delightful new star on the psychic horizon. Witty, captivating, and refreshing."
--Author of The Martha's Vineyard Mystery Series, Cynthia Riggs

I love finding new cozies, can't wait to see if the psychic is for real or not. Also got to find out about the "strange" cat. An animal in a book always ups the ante.

I am interested that this cozy has tea leaves in the title and the main character reads them and tarot cards. My grandmother used to read tea leaves and was very successful in saving my Aunt Blanche from two plane crashes. I would have love to see her read them. So this cozy has a personal connection to me!

It sounds light and fun to read. Not too heavy like regular mysteries can be. I need to read this.

On her fun stuff page I found out my super hero name is not very impressive...Little Kid. But if I use my maiden name it's Little Hurricane. That's a bit better.
