Sunny Meadows left her life in New York in order to escape
the impossible expectations of her powerhouse attorney
mother and her world renowned surgeon father. Sunny had no
interest in following in either of parent's footsteps.
Sunny found her calling, she was a psychic. Sunny shocks
her parents by announcing that she is leaving the hustle
and bustle of New York for the quiet town of Divinity.
After arriving, Sunny feels right at home in the quaint
little town. Her new home, a much talked about haunted
Victorian home, comes complete with a new pet, a cat Sunny
calls Morty. Morty is usually described as creepy by the
residents of Divinity, but to Sunny he is as perfect as her
new haunted Victorian she calls Vicky.
Sunny finds that Vicky is the perfect place for her new
business as a psychic, but her first customer gets a killer
reading! When Sunny's first customer frantically demands a
reading, Sunny reads her tea leaves and discovers
librarian Amanda Robbins has plenty to be frantic about
because the tea leaves indicate she will be murdered by a
man she knows. Sunny takes her psychic prediction to
Detective Mitch Stone who mocks Sunny's supposed vision.
But when Amanda Robbins is found dead, Mitch Stone believes
Sunny is the murderer.
Detective Stone and Sunny are both equally stunned and
annoyed when they are ordered to work together to solve the
murder of Amanda Robbins. Sunny can't stand the detective's
closed mind to anything paranormal, and the detective
thinks Sunny is a whack job. Although Sunny dreads more of
Stone's mocking comments about her psychic abilities, she
knows this is her only chance to clear her name. The
evidence pointing to Sunny is unmistakable. Amanda Robbins
was poisoned, and the poison was found in the cup Sunny
used for her reading.
Detective Stone has trouble picturing Sunny as a murderer,
but the tough cop will not by swayed by a pretty face that
he is having trouble getting out of his mind. Working
together, Sunny and Mitch discover that more than one
person had a bone to pick with the town librarian.
You have to be psychic to guess the identity of the killer
in this hit debut novel. Amanda Robbins' murder is a
mystery begging to be solved. But readers will have plenty
to keep them entertained as Mitch and Sunny track the
killer. Sunny and Mitch's hilariously angsty attraction
will keep you laughing. Kari Lee Townsend has pulled out
all the stops for this fabulous new series! I look forward
to plenty more novels by this gifted writer. TEMPEST IN THE
TEA LEAVES is a murder mystery to die for!
