Sometimes bodies are easier to bury than secrets…
Coriander Whitlock has been in turmoil for the last few years. After burying her husband, being accused of his murder, and finally finding justice when the real murderer was caught, she is certain she can now quietly disappear into the comforts of the estate she once shared with her husband and tend her garden of herbs, both medicinal and deadly. But fate and a well-meaning, meddling cousin have other plans.
Between funerals and seances, Cory is beginning to believe there is a killer on the loose, and each victim appears to be connected to the magic she so staunchly hides from the ton. Being accused of murder is one thing, but a witch? If word spreads of her abilities, the only calling cards she’s likely to receive would be for a date with the executioner.
Yet, she cannot hide from the spirits who are calling for her to seek justice again. And when she is thrust into another murder investigation, she must put her faith in the hands of a brooding, infuriating man with the power to upend her life and expose her secrets. It seems London is as determined to give up its ghosts as her cousin is to marry her off to the next eligible widower.
