Because the Rune Toss Ruins: A Murder, She Witches Mystery
By Kat McGee
Some family heirlooms come with sentimental value. This one came with a curse and a body count.
When a down-on-her-luck sorceress brings a set of cursed runes into The Three Witches Bookstore, owner Octavia Grimstone assumes it’s just another magical mess to clean up. Between managing her two co-owning best friends and her snarky cat familiar, Elzadora, she’s used to a little disorder. She just wasn’t prepared for the runes to start rewriting reality one bizarre incident at a time.
The magical pranks turn deadly when the town’s museum curator, a woman who knew the true nature of the runes, is found murdered. With her witch doctor boyfriend, Cassius, implicated by a bewitched piece of evidence, Octavia is thrown into a race against time. The runes are not just cursed but the key to a conspiracy that threatens to unravel Grimstone Grove itself.
Following a trail of fairy dust and spectral whispers, Octavia must uncover the truth. But every clue leads to more danger, from a clandestine auction of dark artifacts to the startling revelation that her key suspect might not even exist. She’ll need all the help she can get from her friends to find the killer.
Because in Grimstone Grove, some deadly secrets aren’t written in books. They’re carved in stone.
