A reluctant witch. A mysterious murder. A dapper dog with magical intuition.
Arabella Blackwood's magical abilities are a lot like her houseplants—neglected, but not quite dead. After a childhood spell-gone-wrong, she's perfectly content selling organic veggies and brewing coffee in picturesque Port Havenwood.
Her quiet life goes up in smoke when a stranger publicly calls her a witch at the farmer's market. Awkward! Even worse? The woman turns up dead the next day, and suddenly everyone's giving Arabella the evil eye—especially the handsome detective who thinks she did it.
With her name to clear and only days to do it, Arabella reluctantly teams up with Marcel, a dapper French Bulldog with a fashion sense as strong as his magical intuition. Together they'll uncover small-town secrets, reconnect with old friends, and maybe, just maybe, dust off a spell or two.
Hello from the cozy corners of my imagination! If we were meeting in person, you'd probably find me offering you a slice of cake, extra frosting, because life's too short!
I craft twisty tales with quirky characters, picturesque small towns, and enough red herrings to stock a fish market. My stories blend mystery and mirth, with a dash of romance and plenty of fur-baby shenanigans.
If you like your murders with giggles, sleuths with razor-sharp wit, and surprising plot twists—dive into one of my books. Warning: may cause cravings for homemade cookies and the urge to adopt a mischievous pet.View all by Sue Hollowell
