The dead don't frighten Saffron. That's her job: guiding lost souls onward, providing comfort and guidance to the newly departed. And she's good at it, despite a busy life of raising toddlers, running an animal welfare foundation, and baking sourdough bread. What she's never been is a detective.Lucas Troy is about to change that.He doesn't want peace.
He doesn't want to be gently guided anywhere. He says he can't move on until he knows what happened to him, and why his young life full of love and promise was cut short. He needs someone to hear his story, follow it to its end, and tell him: this is how it went. This is what it meant.
This is how you move forward.As Saffron pulls at the threads of Lucas Troy's life, she finds quiet betrayals, small injustices, and people who looked away. It's not what she expected. And neither did she expect the danger she faces in trying to find answers for Lucas.Set among the cobbled streets and kitchen warmth of Notting Hill, with a cast of characters who feel like old friends from the first page, The Deadly Tea is a mystery with a beating heart at its center, a story as much about what we owe each other as it is about what really happened.For readers who loved The Thursday Murder Club for the heart, not just the puzzle.A fully standalone novel in the Invisibles series, no need to start at the beginning.
