Three witchy women. Three small-town secrets. Three murders no one was supposed to solve.
This collection gathers the first three standalone cozy paranormal mysteries from Harper Quinnell - complete, self-contained novellas that can be read in any order. Each book brings its own witch, its own familiar, and its own small-town world, linked by a shared sensibility: warm humor, coastal fog, and the quiet conviction that magic is useful, ordinary, and occasionally the only thing standing between an innocent person and a framed murder charge.
Enchanted Listing - Home stager Mara Lockwood doesn't just dress empty houses; she reads them. Her glamour magic can make a crumbling Victorian feel like a dream, and her truth-sight can tell when something has been hidden. When the handyman she hired is found dead inside a sealed chimney - hidden by magic uncomfortably similar to her own - Mara becomes the detective's favorite suspect. With her gray cat Smudge watching from the windowsill and a rival agent eager to see her fail, Mara has to prove her magic didn't kill anyone. Before the real staging artist strikes again.
The Haunted Inn - Innkeeper Jeannie has managed The Salty Anchor's charming historic quirks for three years. Then a guest dies in Room 7, the coroner rules heart attack, and the ghost of Arthur Pendelton shows up insisting otherwise. With salt lines laid and containment circles holding, Jeannie has to solve a murder alongside the spirit of the victim - while keeping her Bell Harbor sheriff, her tarot-reading best friend, and a house full of weekend guests from noticing that her inn is, in fact, haunted.
Misfiled Magic - Museum curator Bess Alcott has spent three years cataloguing the warded artifacts her mentor Arthur entrusted to her. When Arthur is found dead and Bess becomes the prime suspect, she has to untangle what he was really protecting - and why someone wanted it badly enough to kill him for it. With the help of her bonded owl Artemis and a skeptical detective who's slower to dismiss her than she expected, Bess follows a trail of broken wards, missing pieces, and grief sharper than any spell she knows.
