Covens, Cakes, and Big Mistakes

Release Date: October 12, 2019

​

It's Tamsyn's first solo gig as manager of the Pinecroft Inn after Aunt Gwen books a last-minute cruise just days before a group of writers checks in for the island's annual literary festival. Tamsyn thinks she finally has a handle on the whole magical cooking thing, but her confidence turns to panic when her careful plans go awry and a famous author keels over after eating the treats she's prepared for a fancy-schmancy afternoon tea.

​

Whatever the cause of his demise, the author's ghost won't say a word. The same cannot be said for Lillian, the feisty flapper and newly manifested spirit who's determined to become her new BFF. Between a lonely ghost and a demanding feline familiar, it's a toss-up which is more distracting, and Tamsyn hasn't had a moment of quiet in weeks. Is it any wonder she might have forgotten a key ingredient in her cake? It's not like she expected a tiny mistake to be deadly!

​

Even as suspects start to pile up and it turns out there's no shortage of people on the island who might have wanted the victim dead, all eyes remain on Tamsyn and her lethal lemon cake. Will the charming Dr. Caldwell come to her rescue and clear her name, or will it be up to Tamsyn and her coven to cook up a spell to reveal what really happened at the tea before a killer can strike again?
