It’s officially release day for Cookies, Curses, and Christmas Crimes, the fourth book in the Laguna Bay Midlife Witch Cozy Mystery series!
I can’t believe the big day is here! After months of writing, rewriting, and more than a few late nights spent with Boo, Kheppy, and the rest of the Laguna Bay gang, I’m so excited to share their latest adventure with you. There’s always something a little bittersweet about sending a new book out into the world, but mostly I’m just thrilled that you finally get to read it!
Here’s a little peek at the mystery waiting for you:
Christmas is coming to Laguna Bay—but someone on the naughty list is hiding a deadly secret.
Laguna Bay’s annual Christmas Market is opening with twinkling lights, festive treats, and plenty of holiday cheer. Boo Boudreaux and her talking cat, Kheppy, are ready to join the festivities—until the market’s charismatic owner, Xavier Bardwell, disappears moments before he’s due to make a mysterious announcement.
Then Boo discovers what appears to be Xavier’s skeleton inside the market office.
So much for a peaceful holiday season.
Soon Boo’s investigation uncovers suspicious vendors, supernatural rivalries, romantic secrets, and a victim with an impossible past. Stranger still, Xavier’s many admirers are mourning a man they can barely remember.
As Boo digs deeper, she begins to suspect a puzzling curse may be responsible for more than Xavier’s bizarre death.
And it’s still active.
With Christmas fast approaching, Boo and Kheppy must unwrap the truth before the killer claims another victim.
