Coffee, Magic, and Murder—Just Another Tuesday in Small-Town Life
Sage Thorne was a stressed-out corporate lawyer surviving on takeout and gas station coffee. Now? She's inherited a magical bakery, a Victorian house, and a sarcastic talking cat named Basil who judges her life choices on a daily basis.
Oh, and apparently she can brew coffee that gives people temporary supernatural abilities.
Who knew being a kitchen witch came with such caffeinated perks?
But when the Moonbridge Hollow Harvest Festival turns deadly and beloved librarian Eleanor Whitmore is found murdered, Sage discovers her magical coffee might be the key to solving the case. Between psychometric visions, a charming veterinarian who makes her heart race faster than espresso, and a mysterious antique dealer with questionable intentions, Sage is brewing up more trouble than she bargained for.
Add in a community full of secrets, a cat who thinks he's Sherlock Holmes, and the terrifying possibility that supernatural assassins might be hunting magical folks like her, and Sage realizes small-town life is a lot more dangerous than billable hours ever were.
At least the coffee's better.
Perfect for fans of magical coffee, talking cats, and murder mysteries that'll keep you guessing until the last page!
This author definitely has a way with words and description. I have read only a couple of handfuls of authors with this dedicated ability. In other words rare and special. Nora Roberts has it, Mercedes Lackey, too, as well as Alan Dean Foster and Dean Koontz. Anne McCaffrey and John D. McDonald had it as well. My point is this author has similar abilities as these top notch authors and is one to watch. This series is my proof. No, I do not expect everyone to agree with me. Thankfully, we are human and individuals. But I DO double dog dare the skeptics to read these stories with honesty and an open mind. Maybe you won't feel the same excitement I do, but maybe you will. I more than highly recommend this story and the first one and I sincerely hope the author continues to write the way they have done, so far.
After finding a cookbook dating from the towns Founding families the librarian decided to reveal the existence of a magical cookbook at the towns fair. That's when things start to go wrong. Good Read.
