A Wiccan arrives in a little Maine town, and it may spell trouble: “Clever…[a] neat little cozy.”—Publishers Weekly
When the bewitching Diana Ravenscroft comes to quiet Tinker's Cove and opens Solstice, a quaint shop offering everything from jewelry to psychic readings, Lucy Stone writes her off as eccentric but harmless. Even after Diana gives her a disturbingly accurate reading, Lucy can’t help but befriend the newcomer. But not everyone is so enchanted. And when Lucy stumbles upon a dead body near her home, she can't shake the feeling that something sinister is lurking in the crisp October air.
Convinced Diana is an evil witch, prominent businessman Ike Stoughton blames her for a series of recent misfortunes, including Lucy’s gruesome discovery and his own wife's death, and rallies the townsfolk against her. But after Lucy learns the murder victim was a magician and close friend of Diana's, she starts to wonder who's really stirring up a cauldron of trouble. By Halloween, her suspicions lead her to a deadly web of secrets—and a spine-chilling brush with the things that go bump in the night—in this mystery by the New York Times-bestselling author who “keeps fans coming back for more” (RT Book Reviews).
“The warm, small-town ambiance and the persevering Lucy Stone make this a winner for cozy fans.”—Library Journal
“I like Lucy Stone a lot, and so will readers.”—Carolyn Hart
