The Daydreamer Detective Opens A Tea Shop

Mei Yamagawa’s bad luck is almost at an end...

Her tea shop is a week away from opening, she and Yasahiro have planned a trip away, and the future is looking bright and hopeful. But when Yasahiro’s ex-fiancée, Amanda, shows up unexpectedly, demanding his time and presence, all of their plans dissolve. Amanda is tough and drives Mei up the wall, so it’s no surprise when Mei tells her to get lost, only for Amanda to be murdered a few hours later. Yasahiro becomes the prime suspect, and Mei must put everything on hold to help free him.

Following Amanda’s past through her digital footprint, Mei uncovers secret lovers, shady business deals, and the biggest secret of all, why Amanda and Yasahiro broke up in the first place. With everyone turning against her and the case under media scrutiny, tracking down the killer becomes an obsession Mei can’t give up. There’s no turning back, though, because solving the murder means getting her life back. Not solving it means losing everything forever.

With her head in the clouds and a taste for solving crime, you don’t want to miss Mei in The Daydreamer Detective Opens a Tea Shop, the tantalizing fourth installment in the Miso Cozy series of cozy mystery novels. If you love determined amateur sleuths, digital-age detective work, and a steaming cup of intrigue, you’ll savor Steph Gennaro’s brew of romance, rivalry, and ruthless murder.
