Here comes the bride…or not! Wedding celebrations are supposed to be joyous, right? With Aunt Edie and Detective Huxton’s wedding just weeks away, the pre-wedding preparations are in full swing. We’re knee-deep in dance lessons, cake tastings, and enough excitement to make our heads spin. But, as always, in the magical town of Saltwater Cove, trouble has a way of crashing the party. Mysterious deaths are casting a shadow over the festivities, and all signs point to a connection with my aunt. To make matters worse, dark magic is seeping into every corner of my beloved town, and I’m certain the almighty evil Salis van Der Kolt is at the heart of it all. The stakes have never been higher. My life is on the line as I race to uncover the final resting place of the Sphere—a powerful artifact that could mean the difference between peace and a life of pure hell. Now, it’s up to me, master witch, Evelyn Grayson, to face my deepest fears, unravel the mystery, and confront evil head-on. With dark magic lurking in the shadows and danger at every turn, can I outdance disaster and outwit the dark forces to save the Sphere, while ensuring Aunt Edie and Detective Huxton get their happily ever after? Trust me. You won’t want to miss a single step of this adventure! Meringues, Matrimony & Murder is the magical conclusion to The Melting Pot Café cozy murder mystery series where love, laughter, and a touch of magic collide.
