Ghosts Don’t Gossip
A Paranormal Cozy Mystery with Tea Leaves, Town Secrets, and One Very Talkative SpiritBy Imad Muratsphic
Length6h 37m
About this audiobook
When quiet coastal tea shop owner Clara Vale reads the leaves in a customer’s cup, she expects vague symbols, not a warning shaped like a bell and key. But the message becomes impossible to ignore when the town’s most talkative spirit, a pearl-wearing presence with a sharp tongue and unfinished business, insists that someone in Bellweather Bay is hiding the truth.
At The Kettle & Key, gossip usually arrives with scones, sea fog, and a second pot of Earl Grey. This time, the whispers point toward an old town secret, a suspicious death, and a mystery that refuses to stay buried. As Clara follows clues through harbor lanes, antique shops, autumn festivals, and locked-away family histories, she discovers that the living can be far harder to read than the dead.
With help from a loyal circle of small-town friends, a stubborn spirit who knows more than she says, and a teacup full of clues, Clara must uncover what really happened before another secret turns deadly.
Ghosts Don’t Gossip is a charming paranormal cozy mystery filled with warm tea shop atmosphere, coastal small-town secrets, gentle humor, light supernatural intrigue, and a mystery safe for cozy readers who prefer wit over gore.
