A Fake Worse than Death (Large Print Edition)

She wants the truth about her fiancé's death-too bad her best lead is keeping secrets of her own.

The last person Violet Woods wants to team up with is Lucy Litton, her high school rival-turned-nosy reporter. But when Lucy dangles new intel about Violet's murdered fiancé, she reluctantly agrees to help with the newshound's latest scoop. Then Lucy ghosts her at a lavish estate auction, where the bidding begins with a dead body.

Desperate for the answers she was promised, Violet uses her magic to discover the high-priced gems for sale are phonies. Between confronting the former estate owner's ghost and her entitled heirs, Violet is tangled in a web of fraud, family secrets, and old grudges. Worse, Lucy has buried the lead, and the deeper Violet digs, the closer she comes to making the obituaries.

Can she unmask the con before the next headline spells death?

A Fake Worse Than Death is the magical fourth book in the cozy Charm Island Mystery series. If you love vivid characters and a twisty mystery, then fall under the spell of Casey Griffin's latest ghost story.
