At fifty-five, Marcie Simmons expected to inherit magic.
She didn't expect to inherit a mystery.
As the owner of Spellbinding Book Shop, Marcie has spent years living a quiet life surrounded by books, loyal friends, and her beloved Great Dane, Ginger Rogers. But on the night of her inheritance ceremony, everything changes.
A hidden letter from her long-dead aunt reveals a startling truth: fifteen years ago, Marcie's mother and aunts believed someone was coming for her. To protect her, they left behind far more than family magic. They left behind secrets.
Days later, a powerful witch is found murdered.
With suspicion spreading through the magical community and a Council investigator asking difficult questions, Marcie finds herself caught in the middle of a dangerous investigation. The deeper she digs, the more she uncovers about her family's past, a hidden threat that has been waiting for decades, and the extraordinary power now resting in her hands.
Between managing her bookstore, navigating magical politics, surviving the well-intentioned advice of friends, and trying not to be distracted by a handsome investigator with secrets of his own, Marcie must discover who is killing witches before the next victim is someone she loves.
Perfect for readers who enjoy cozy paranormal mysteries, found family, loyal animal companions, small-town magic, mature heroines, and slow-burn romance.
A Legacy of Secrets is the enchanting first book in the Spellbinding Book Shop Mysteries.
