Whom the Crystal Ball Chooses: A Murder, She Witches Mystery
By Kat McGee
Murder confessions are supposed to make a sleuth’s job easier. Unless everyone confesses to the same crime.
The Three Witches Bookstore’s first book club meeting turns into a supernatural disaster when a crystal ball compels every guest to confess to murdering a local historian. Octavia Grimstone watches in shock as her friends and neighbors claim responsibility for everything from toxic mushroom poisoning to death by lightning strike.
The situation gets worse when Grimstone Grove’s is unable to investigate, leaving Octavia to sort through several impossible confessions with only her mystery-writing instincts and one supremely sarcastic cat familiar for backup.
Her sleuthing leads from the bookstore’s cursed artifacts to the magical depths of Grimwood Forest, where ancient secrets and troll magic threaten to destroy everything she loves. With the devastatingly handsome witch doctor at her side, Octavia faces off against blackmail schemes and a killer who’s been hiding behind the most innocent face in Grimstone Grove.
Between dodging wayward spells and chasing magical creatures through midnight forests, Octavia must choose between saving her friends and protecting the crystal ball’s terrible secret before it claims its next victim.
