About this ebook

Tea and Tarot. Love and Murder.

A Tarot conference at a holistic resort seems the perfect place for Tea and Tarot partners Hyperion and Abigail to promote their business and enjoy some beachside luxury. But murder cuts their R&R short. And when the evidence points to Abigail’s devilishly appealing neighbor, Brik, and an unsolved murder connected to his past, this amateur detecting duo is on the case.

Years ago, Brik’s girlfriend died at the hands of an unknown stalker. He lost everything: his love, his job, his home. Now, he’s convinced history is repeating itself. He’s tried to keep Abigail in the friend-zone, but he fears another woman he cares about just may be the next victim.

As the investigation heats up, Brik and Abigail are determined to keep each other at arm’s length. But as they cross swords with the killer, their feelings become harder to resist. If these two don’t learn to trust each other, their chance at love might be cut short. Permanently.

The Sword in the Scone is a fast-paced and funny mystery, packed with oddball characters, Tarot, and murder. Get cozy and read this hilarious whodunit today!

Ratings and reviews

Fantastic Book! I loved everything about this story. Abigail and Hyperion are always a pleasure, Razzzor and Brik are a good "distraction", the location is perfect and the mystery is everything I was hoping for, stimulating, deceiving and generally well plotted. Writen with wit and humour and a fast pace, I'm only disappointed that I already finished it. Highly recommended! I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I love this series, and this final book was a delight - it tied things together, but can also be read as a stand-alone. There is enough of each -tea , tarot, mystery and romance- to blend together without any one taking over. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is the fifth book I've read written by Kirsten Weiss; I can’t wait to read more of her books. This is the sixth book in the Tea and Tarot Cozy Mysteries Series; it is a stand-alone book. The story is a mystery about Abigail & Hyperion; they attend a conference and plan to use it to promote their business. I received a free copy of this book via booksprout and I’m voluntarily leaving a review.
