Decaf Deceptions: A Theatre Based Cozy Mystery
Not yet published
Expected 31 Jul 26Ghosts from the past don’t always stay buried.
When a Southsea ghost tour takes an unsettling turn, café owner Sarah Meadows expects seaside theatrics ... not fresh questions about a glamorous magician’s assistant who vanished years ago.
At the time, it was ruled a tragic accident. Now whispers are resurfacing. Old rivalries are stirring. And the town’s close-knit theatrical circle is keen to keep certain secrets firmly behind the curtain.
Between the comforting rhythm of life at Sarah’s Secrets, fresh coffee, and Missy the Labrador loyally stationed beneath the counter, Sarah tries to stay out of it. Until the mystery edges closer to home.
With niece Robyn drawn into the intrigue and tensions rising around the ghost tour, Sarah must separate smoke and mirrors from something far more dangerous, before history has the chance to repeat itself.
Because in Southsea, not every disappearance is an illusion.
