When it rains, it pours... When Taylor and Karen stumble - quite literally - upon the body of one of the animal shelter's biggest benefactors, Karen is completely broken up about it. When it turns out the woman's death wasn't by natural causes, Karen vows vengeance on the person who would kill someone so important to the community, and she and Taylor swear they're going to find the killer. But between finding a killer, trying to get the hang of this whole magic thing, and finding herself in the path of the all-too-handsome lawyer Ken Leeman, Taylor definitely has her hands full. As Taylor gets closer to finding the killer, however, she also finds she's having issues with her magical powers. Will she be able to find the killer and save her powers, or will her newfound life go up in a puff of smoke? Poison and Pinot is the second novel in the California Witching series of paranormal cozy mysteries.
