Book Beginnings...
Prologue
The morning rush at Penny's Potions was in full swing, and I was the conductor of this symphony of steeping teas and clinking porcelain.
From 56% on my e-reader.
I bit back a smile, impressed by the sheer audacity of his performance.
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Penelope “Penny” Hawthorne, an herbalist with a knack for creating unique teas, travels to exotic locations worldwide to source only the best and rarest herbs and roots.
But during a trip to the breathtaking Swiss Alps, Penny’s rare aconite tea brews up more than relaxation when a famed alpinist's death makes her a prime suspect.
As she sifts through clues and uncovers bitter rivalries, Penny must steep herself in the art of deduction to clear her name and unmask a killer, with the unexpected help of a dashing British detective.
Dive into the charm of the Penny Hawthorne series, a cozy mystery filled with clever humor and captivating quirkiness that transports you to far-flung locales. Combining comedic elements with emotional depth and surprising twists, this series promises to introduce you to a delightful new hero who's set to capture your affection and captivate you well into the night.
