Meet Hattie Juniper Pickle, The Foxy Ladies, and her rag doll cat, Carrot. Hattie Juniper Pickle is on the market and trying her hand at online dating. Then her second husband shows up on her doorstep—quickly followed by her first (who also happens to be her third). Is one of them angling to become husband number four? All thoughts of dating are shoved aside, though, when a body turns up underneath the Loblolly pine her great-great-grandfather planted eons ago. Hattie and the Foxy Ladies (aka, her longtime friends Maude, Cricket, and Lemon), along with bibliomancer Pippin Lane Hawthorne from Sea Captain’s Inn, team up to find out what happened…and why. A Pickle of a Murder is a spin off novella from the Book Magic mystery series.
