The opening of a new series of cozy mysteries “Kittens, Tea, and Murder”!
The main heroine is Dasha. She arrives at an old country estate near Saint Petersburg, expecting to simply hide from her troubles and catch her breath, but instead of peace and quiet she finds herself right in the thick of mysterious events— and in the world of shadows from the past that have been disturbed.
Here, a cozy mystery is interwoven with a light touch of mysticism. The reader will encounter a gloomy yet charming mansion, a vanished emerald necklace, the feeling that the house knows far more than it’s willing to reveal right away, and the key “witness” to everything— a black cat.
Something is amiss at the ancient estate outside Saint Petersburg. The owners seem to have no luck, and the ghosts of old stories will not let themselves be forgotten.
Dasha is not aware of these legends—and she doesn’t want to know. Her plan is simple: wait out a difficult time in silence, don’t get involved in investigations, don’t fall in love with the blue-eyed Philip, and don’t make friends with the black cat she’s inherited along with the house.
But what do you do when secrets themselves start following your trail?
Dasha takes on an investigation where the past and the present become intertwined— death and renewal, betrayal and love.
