Ganache and Ghosts: A Harper Dade Taste of Magic Bakery Mystery
By Kat McGee
The only thing worse than catering your ex-husband’s holiday party is finding him dead at the end of a trail of ganache footprints.
For Harper Dade, whose magic is perpetually on the fritz, this is her new reality. Her grand return to Willow Hollow’s catering scene ends with a corpse, a trail of chocolate-smeared footprints pointing straight at her, and the town’s Hocus Pocus Holiday Gala hanging in the balance.
The murder mystery becomes a quirky confection of suspects. There’s Sebastian’s newly-minted and suspiciously cheerful widow, a legion of ghosts suddenly terrorizing the town, and cryptic riddles from the victim himself that suggest his death is just the beginning. She stirs up messy secrets, but every clue pulls her deeper into a conspiracy that threatens all of Willow Hollow.
With the help of a charming wizard mechanic and her talking cat who believes he is the true star of the upcoming event, Harper must find the real killer. If she can’t untangle this web of secrets, she’ll be trading her apron for an orange jumpsuit, and her ex-husband’s final, sinister plan will succeed from beyond the grave.
