Cinnamon and the Clue in the Cardamom : The Catmint Chronicles Book 1
Overview
A missing recipe book, a quirky British village, and a cat who only speaks when there's spice in the air.
If you're looking for a mystery that feels like a warm cup of tea and a soft blanket, escape to Cresswell-on-Wyrd. This is a world where the tea is always brewing, the village secrets are ancient, and the only thing sharper than the clues is a cat's tongue.
When New Yorker Rowan Thorne inherits her eccentric Aunt Betty's crumbling Caf and Herb Shop, she expects a quiet life of steeping tea and learning the local lore. Instead, she finds herself at the center of a village-wide scavenger hunt.
Aunt Betty's prized recipe book-a legendary volume of herbal secrets and local history-has vanished. To find it, Rowan must navigate the eccentricities of a British village stuck somewhere between folklore and the modern world.
She isn't alone, though. She's inherited Cinnamon: a sleek, Himalayan feline with a judgmental stare and a very specific secret.Cinnamon can talk-but only when he's had a sniff of cardamom.
As Rowan follows a trail of cryptic clues and herbal riddles, she'll have to decide: can she trust a snarky cat to help her find the truth, or is he just in it for the extra treats?
