Description
Something wicked this way comes in the fourth laugh-out-loud, spooky crime mystery perfect for fans of Bella Mackie, Over My Dead Body and You'd Look Better as a Ghost
________________________
Tucked away in a genteel, rural hamlet, a coven of witches is the last thing you'd expect to find.
But these modern-day witches are more into tarot and engagement rates than toil and trouble - except for their ongoing feud with a prominent historian who claims the witch trials were a hoax.
When the historian turns up dead and the witches become the prime suspects, they employ medium-cum-private-detective Claire to solve the case and clear their names.
In this small village, secrets and spirits abound. Can Claire separate the black magic from white lies?
