Scandal & Gretel
(2019)(The first book in the Bookish Adventures in Witch-Lit series)
A novel by Rachael Stapleton
Scandal & Gretel is the first book in a new paranormal cozy mystery series. If you like adventure, fabled stories, and secret societies, then one-click this book today for a mixed dose of magic and macabre.
Turns out there's a lot at stake for the literary witches of Bohemian Lake, like being tied to one.
Bohemian Lake's bookstore regularly spotlights a 19th-century author. This month it just happens to be a duo - the Brothers Grimm - and the adventure book club is off to explore the medieval magic of the Black Forest in South Western Germany. Part witch and part witch-hunter, Sera Popescu whose conflicting ancestry stems from Europe, is excited to see the half-timbered homes, hear the cuckoo clocks and travel over the narrow cobblestone streets. But the fairy tale scenario gets a little too real when one of the book club members opens up the cottage oven during the tours first Black Forest stop.
Could the charred remains belong to the Gingerbread Hag or is this just a prank for the tourists? As if things weren't grim enough, when they return to town, they discover two children are missing and their host has been arrested for murder.
Now, holed up in a small German village full of riled up witch-haters, it's up to Sera to find the story's happy ending - or wind up over the pyre.
"Fairytale fans get ready to hear the cuckoo clocks, taste the gingerbread and experience murder most Grimm - first of the Bookish Adventures in the new Witch-Lit mystery set."
For those of you who are new to my books, the world of Bohemian Lake series is comprised of multiple sets. Each series focuses on a different Bohemian resident(s), although all of the books intersect. Characters cross books all the time.
