Starting over at midlife is hard. Doing it with magic-and a murder-is harder.
Midlife witch, Samara Snow, has finally found her fresh start after forty in the charming coastal town of Winter Haven, Maine. She has opened her dream teahouse, embraced her magical heritage, and is ready for peace, purpose, and a place to belong.
But when she discovers the body of a local knitting champion in her apartment stairwell-and the dead woman's cat claims he's her adopted familiar-Samara's cozy new beginning is suddenly steeped in mystery and danger.
Her cozy new beginning is shattered when she finds murder, suspicion, and a town with dark secrets that doesn't welcome questions...or witches.
With suspicion falling on her and the town's dark secrets surfacing, Samara must awaken her dormant magical powers to find the real killer. But who can she trust? Even the handsome fisherman she's falling for seems to be hiding something-and he might just break her heart.
Teaming up with her best friend Ruby, a nosy knitting circle, and one very snarky black cat, Samara uncovers a tangled web of long-buried secrets and deadly motives. But someone in Winter Haven wants the past to stay buried...and they'll do anything to keep it that way.
When a haunted past leads to murder, will this witch's magic solve the case before her new life in Winter Haven comes to a deadly end?
If you love magical mysteries with witchy heroines, talking cats, cozy vibes, quirky, witty characters, found family, closed-door romance, no cursing or violence, and a mystery that keeps you guessing, this book is your cup of tea.
Curl up with a warm drink, get cozy, and read Mystic Brews & Murder today to discover the magic and secrets brewing in Winter Haven.
