Official synopsis Publisher
As the summer solstice approaches and Avebury’s tranquil fields and standing stones are overrun with tourists and practitioners of every ilk, someone is unhappy. Tourists are dying at an unnaturally fast clip, and when a victim is found in the basement of the local pub, the gaze of the bumbling local constabulary land squarely on a friend of Myrtle Coldron and her coven of magical misfits.Settling in as the new owner of the Witch’s Retreat B&B while grieving the magic-induced death of her aunt hasn’t been easy for Myrtle. What’s been worse, however, is settling into her wonky powers as Avebury’s strongest witch. Throw in a budding romance with a witch hunter, pleas to lead the coven, and the unruly magic of inexperienced fellow witches, and Myrtle is as overrun as the village. But when the murder count rises and a guest goes missing, Myrtle knows she must act. As the clues pile up and point too close to home, can Myrtle stop the deaths while protecting the coven from discovery? Or will her own emerging powers threaten exposure and lead a killer to her door?
