A reporter’s suspicious death is big news in upstate New York, and a local witch is out to conjure a killer’s identity in this magical cozy mystery. November in upstate New York can be chilly, but Kailyn Wilde’s magic shop, Abracadabra, is a cozy respite where you can find lotions, potions, and plenty of cats. What customers don’t know is that the proprietor is an actual witch—and her friends include the renowned magician Merlin, who’s been transported into the modern world. All of which comes in handy when there’s a murder to be solved. When investigative reporter Ryan Cutler dies in a car accident in New Camel, his friend Travis suspects foul play. Kailyn wants to help, but her hands are already full with the curmudgeonly Merlin, who’s not exactly maintaining a low profile. Between keeping the wizard under wraps and mixing up cold remedies that work like magic, she’ll have to tap into her many talents to figure out a killer’s fatal formula. “A charming, must-read mystery with enchanting characters. A fun and entertaining page turner.”—Rose Pressey, USA Today bestselling author
A local witch goes casting about for a killer when a town council meeting goes murderously awry in this cozy mystery by the author of Magick & Mayhem. Kailyn Wilde enjoys running her magick shop, Abracadabra, in the quaint hamlet of New Camel, New York. Her family’s been here for centuries, but the place may never be the same if plans for a big new hotel go through. So Kailyn does her civic duty, attending a town meeting with her aunt Tilly…and Merlin. Yes, that Merlin—though he gets introduced to folks as her “distant English cousin.” Though the wizard is pretty grumpy about being transported to New Camel, Kailyn figures she could use the backup if the hotel debate gets heated. But things go from heated to homicide when Tilly finds the body of a board member outside the schoolhouse. Afraid that suspicion will be cast on the wrong person, Kailyn plans to crack the case, even if she has to talk to every living soul in town—plus a few departed ones.
