Description

A cheating boyfriend. A British inheritance. And a cat who demands turkey with gravy -- but only speaks when the spice is right.

The Fresh Start Data analyst Rowan Thorne is done with New York. After catching her boyfriend kissing another woman in front of the Eiffel Tower, she is more than ready to trade her spreadsheets for a fresh start. When she unexpectedly inherits her aunt's business in the quaint English village of Cresswell-on-Wyrd, it feels like destiny.

The rude awakening But "quaint" comes with a catch. The village has a strict ban on cell phones and the internet, and the business -- Black Thumb Betty's Café & Herb Shop -- is drowning in debt. To make matters worse, the shop is in the crosshairs of Clive Smeaton, a local butcher determined to force a foreclosure so he can expand his meat empire.

The Mystery Rowan has exactly thirty days to turn a profit and save her family legacy. Her only hope lies in Betty's Steep Secrets, a legendary book of herbal formulations that made the café famous. There is just one problem: the book has vanished.

The Twist Rowan's only witness is the shop's resident feline, Cinnamon. He is fluffy, opinionated, and entirely unhelpful -- until Rowan spills a jar of cardamom. Suddenly, Cinnamon isn't just meowing; he's talking.

The Investigation Now, Rowan must partner with her sarcasitc four-legged critic to track down the thief. But Cinnamon's help comes with a price: midnight walks on a leash, bowls of poultry with gravy, and absolutely no belly rubs.

Can this American expat and her magical mouser sniff out the missing book before the "Cuppa Comeback" grand reopening? Or is Rowan's fresh start about to go stale?
