There's a lot at Stake for a Witch in Medieval Germany, 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. 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. 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." Scandal & Gretel is the twelfth book in the Bohemian Lake Series, and the first of the set dedicated to half-witch Sera Popescu and the Bohemian Lake's Adventure Book club. While the series is best enjoyed in order, each book is a complete mystery on its own. For those of you who are new to my books, the Bohemian Lake series is a world comprised of multiple sets. Each set focuses on a different Bohemian resident(s), although all of the books intersect.
