If you’ve got a problem, Charlie Kingsley probably has a tea that’ll help make it right.
EXCEPT when it comes to love. She does NOT do love potions.
Not even for Courtney, her pregnant new client who showed up three weeks before
Christmas seeking a love potion because her husband was cheating on her.
So, Courtney asked about poison, instead.
She said she was joking That’s what happens between wives and husbands. They get angry and talk about killing each other. They don’t really mean it.
It seems to make sense … until Courtney’s husband turns up dead on Christmas Eve.
He was poisoned, of course.
And who is the number one suspect? Courtney. Of course.
But did she actually do it? Or is she being set up?
It’s up to Charlie to sort through all the twists and turns in a case that gets more complicated the deeper she digs.
Meet Charlie. Better known as “Aunt Charlie” from the award-winning Secrets of Redemption series. She’s back, making teas and solving cases in this quirky, twisty, cozy mystery series set in the 1990s in Redemption, Wisconsin.

My Review
I’ve just started venturing into the cozy mystery world and I have to say, I love it! I’m not sure what took me so long to get here.
I’ve found some great new authors, some favorite new characters and lots of smiles and comfy feelings while trying to solve little mysteries.
When I saw The Murder before Christmas, I knew that I had to read it to help get in to the Holiday season. A murder mystery gets you into the Holiday season you ask? Yes, yes it does!
This story was all about teas, small towns, neighborhood detectives and murder! Honestly, how can you go wrong?
I’m not sure how Charlie, the main character, is the obvious choice to investigate the murder or where the police are in all of this, but it was fun to see how this search and find progressed to a mystery solved.
About the Author
When Michele was 3 years old, she taught herself to read because she wanted to write stories so badly. It took some time (and some detours) but she does spend much of her
time writing stories now. Mystery stories to be exact, ranging from psychological thrillers to cozies, with a dash of romance and supernatural thrown into the mix. If that wasn’t enough, she also hosts a virtual book club you can check out and join (for free!) at MPWNovels.com.
Michele holds a double major in English and Communications from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Currently she lives in the mountains of Prescott, Arizona with her husband Paul and southern squirrel hunter Cassie.
