Crystal Spruce is a real class act. She's everything that's wrong with the New Age scene. She rakes in the cash, publishing book after book of hippy-dippy nonsense. Rowen Greensmith can't stand her. More than that, she can't understand why her aunts love her. They're accomplished witches! They should really know better.
When Crystal Spruce starts up a magical retreat in Lainswich, Rowen gets roped into going. She owes her aunts a lot, so she can't deny them what's supposed to be a week of magical fun.
As is often the case, their week in the woods doesn't quite go as expected. A murder derails everything. At least, the murder should derail everything. Rowen and two of her cousins were the ones who found the body. Unfortunately, they've lost track of it. How are they supposed to solve a murder when they can't even convince people it happened in the first place?
Twentieth Volume of the Lainswich Witches Mystery Series. Approx. 50,000 words in length. It is a standalone (reading prior or future volumes not required to enjoy the book, no cliffhanger).
Genre: Cozy Mystery
