Murder in Willowbrook: Whiskers and the Web of Shadows

by Dana Sharp

In Willowbrook, an ancient artifact
has been uncovered—one that could reshape the world.

When the town's seamstress, Agnes, is mysteriously killed,
her apprentice, Clara, finds herself entangled in a web of lies, magic, and a centuries-old conflict threatening Willowbrook.

Guided by Agnes's ghost and her loyal cat Whiskers,
Clara must unravel Willowbrook's occult past and confront a ruthless order seeking the artifact's power.

As Clara digs deeper,
she realizes the true danger may come from her own allies, testing her trust.

With time running short,
Clara must draw on her family's mystical legacy
and forge an unlikely alliance to make a stand against the gathering darkness.

Willowbrook's—and perhaps the world's—
fate hangs in the balance.

Thought it was a perfect book to read after everyone else is doing something else. The author did a fantastic job of writing a paranormal/cozy mystery book. It held my attention, and I didn't stop till I finished it. Of course, now I have to wonder about Ted and Clara's relationship. Recommend reading.

This book never saw an editor. The formatting was AWFUL. Character info and dialogue were on separate, short sentences. The worst was that the author forgot where the body was. The plotting was terrible and needed an editor to fix it. And, more awful findings... the author didn't know where to end the book. I chalk that up to beginners ignorance.
