It’s Halloween and all the witches are
out, or at least the Winsome Witches of Crystal Grove, CA, a fund-raising group
made of local businesswomen who are sponsoring their annual luncheon. An
evening of fun frolicking with party magicians, fortunetellers, and herbalists
is planned until the body of the Head Priestess of the Winsome Witches is
discovered, and murder is declared.
In this food-based cozy, (all recipes the
characters use are printed for the reader in the back of the book) Jenna Hart,
the owner of the Cookbook Nook, is playing amateur sleuth, as well as being
mistaken, in this storyline, as a potential killer.
Everyone is under suspicion, from the
deceased’s degenerate daughter to the English housekeeper with a mysterious
past, to the second-in-command of the fund-raising group and even Jenna’s
boyfriend, once mistakenly accused of a crime by the current chief of police,
Cinnamon Pritchett. Test your detective skills as false leads and red herrings
are sprinkled liberally through the novel, like a game of Clue, only where the
whole town rather than just a house becomes the play-board.
A tightly woven whodunit, with a
labyrinth of suspects to keep you on your game.
