Phoebe Winchester’s beloved aunt Eudora has a taste for adventure – and a knack for making magical tea. It’s even rumored that she just might be a witch. So when Eudora passes away and leaves everything to her niece – her Victorian mansion, her bookshop/tea store, The Earl’s Study, and one very chubby orange cat named Bob – Phoebe gets more than she bargained for. And she knows she’s in deep when a dead man is found on the shop’s back step, apparently killed while trying to break in.
