MURDER AT MAGIC LAKE (publishing September 15, 2021)
When twenty-eight-year-old Abigail Ritter returns to her hometown of Magic Lake, Wisconsin, for her grandmother Isabella’s birthday party, her only goals are to enjoy Filipino food, create the perfect fruit tea drink for the party, and hide her recent job termination from her family. But the party gives way to tragedy when Isabella suffers a fatal fall at The Grand, a former nineteenth century department store converted into a restaurant and apartment building in downtown Magic Lake. Immediately suspicion falls on Brian, the maintenance man and Abigail’s cousin. Determined to find out what really happened, Abigail becomes more deeply drawn into the mystery when she inherits The Grand and the chance to reopen the restaurant. She discovers magic in the town’s past and gains allies such as her cousin Sam, a fortune teller, a handsome detective, and a magical crocheted fox named Sherlock. But the closer Abigail gets to the truth, the higher she rises in the killer’s sights. Will Abigail crack the case or become another victim of The Grand?
