    About this ebook

    Twenty-something Luule Tamm’s life in the village of Käsmu in northern Estonia is full of mysteries, and magic, aliens, and mayhem abound.

    Five months ago, Luule’s life was shaken up when the Amulet of Eternia was stolen, and now Luule is restless. She’s not so sure what she wants to do with her life anymore, and then Oleg comes to her with a request for help.

    People have been going missing all over Estonia.

    When lives are on the line, despite her early reluctance, Luule can’t help but step up to help solve the mystery.

    Join Luule and her best friend Mari-Liis as they sleuth their way to the truth and do a little acting along the way.

    The Act of the Matter is the second installment of the Luule Tamm Cozy Mysteries and is approximately 5,500 words in length.
