In the sun-drenched hills of Provence lies Saint-Lys-du-Mont , a sleepy little village where gossip spreads faster than lavender blooms… and where one herbalist’s tea might just be deadly. Iris Mandragore , owner of The Midnight Herbarium , knows every leaf, petal, and root in her shop. She can brew a remedy for heartbreak, a potion for insomnia — or a tea to calm a furious soul. But when a famous food critic drops dead right after tasting her chamomile infusion, Iris becomes the village’s prime suspect… and its most talked-about witch. Enter Dr. Achille Lefèvre — the new local physician, Parisian, sceptical, and allergic to everything (including Iris’s charm). When science meets intuition, sparks fly — and not just the herbal kind. To clear her name, Iris must dig through poisonous secrets, suspicious neighbours, and one dangerously handsome doctor. Because in this village, nothing is ever just tea and sympathy. A warm, witty, and enchanting mystery for fans of Ellie Alexander , M. C. Beaton , and Sophie Kinsella — where love brews slowly, danger hides in a teacup, and every blend has a story to tell. ☕️ Perfect for readers who love: Cozy mysteries with French charm and humor - Small-town settings with eccentric characters - A slow-burn romance between opposites - Herbal magic, cats, and clever female leads - Delicious descriptions and witty dialogue Pour yourself a cup, light a candle, and step into the Midnight Herbarium — where every potion hides a secret, every heart has a cure, and every mystery begins with a sip.
