Murder, She Witches #5
But The Spellcast Goes Wrong: A Murder, She Witches Mystery
Anonymous flower deliveries sprout a mystery as persistent as weeds in the enchanting town of Grimestone Grove.
Retired teacher, spell-scribing witch, and part-owner of the Three Witches Bookstore, Octavia Grimstone finds her life entwined with baffling bouquets of flowers. As the petals fall around her, she discovers a lifeless body at Faethful Blooms, ensnaring Octavia in a web of suspicion and intrigue far deeper than any cozy mystery she might write. With her trusty yellow quill, Octavia digs into the heart of the mystery, hoping to unearth the truth rooted beneath the fragrant mystery as she’s blamed for the wolf shifter's death.
Side by side with the sass of Elzadora, her cat familiar, and buoyed by the tender companionship of Cassius Morgenthrall, the town's healing hand with a quietly stirring presence, Octavia navigates the maze of mystery surrounding the town. In a place speckled with cloaked intentions and whispers in the dark, the crafty witch must tease out the genuine from the deceitful in a task akin to separating thorns from roses.
Octavia and her enduring crew struggle to prune back the tangles of misdirection, all the while nurturing clues from the fertile soil of community secrets. Each whispered spell and carefully tended hunch could lead to salvation or disaster, for beneath the cozy veneer, Grimstone Grove quivers on the brink of unrest, and the stakes grow higher when, despite the best-laid plans, the spellcast goes wrong.
