Count Your Hexes

2019

Was Daniel George an unfortunate victim of some dark magic, or some invisible revenge? In the sleepy tourist town of Wickrock Bay, Maine, Mimi’s artifact and antique shop is a hit with customers far and wide, especially crotchety next-door cafe owner Daniel George, who likes to duck into the shop often to spot what Mimi has in her collections. But, after three Wickrock Bay citizens rub Daniel the wrong way, in one form or another, the man moves to take action against them. Only for him to turn up mysteriously dead. Wickrock Bay Police Chief Robert Thompson, and soon along with his crush Mimi, are immediately on the case. But Mimi also has to be cautious, because the object used to murder poor Daniel had come from her shop. Wickrock Bay may be a small, cozy seaside town, but tongues could wag if enough people find this out. This cozy mystery is a clean read: no graphic violence, sex, or strong language.

Art is in the eye of the beholder – until they end up in the gutter. After an ominous figure appeared telling her of a secret wizarding organization running in the town, Mimi can’t seem to settle. Only her friend Sara knows Mimi’s powers, but she can offer no help as they set up a Wine and Art night with pictures. Mimi knows who harbors an eye for treasure from selling all sorts of antiques from all eras around the globe in her shop and makes sure they are on the guestlist. Bank President Samantha Hamilton sweeps in demanding to see the pictures before the other guests – storming off in a huff when Mimi and Sara refuse. Nothing sours a party more than murder. Hours later, the party in full swing but Samantha remains absent—until Samantha’s corpse is discovered in the gutter outside Mimi’s apartment. Chief Rod Thompson is immediately dispatched to conduct a murder investigation, rounding those at the party for questioning. While Mimi pursues leads to help bring the murderer to justice; she is approaching some unsavory suspects who are filled with rage, motive, shaky alibis, and Blackstone hearts. Mimi isn’t the only one on the hunt – someone is watching her from afar, and she’ll have to steel her spine if the shadow appears at her door with a warning. This cozy mystery is a clean read: no graphic violence, sex, or strong language. It can be read in one to two hours.

Bad scores can close doors in life. In this case. It closed a life.

Mimi is stupefied against Rob’s demand for an alibi – the antique had been under lock and key. Someone has violated her privacy. Crossed into her territory and taken something precious from her – to frame her? Things can’t get any worse when another knock on her door reveals a woman representing an East Coast group of supernaturals. She warns Mimi of a wizard named Reneus Ulzor and advises her to keep away from him at all costs. As details of Cyrus’s death slowly come to light, from his tempestuous relationships with past pupils to the way he conducted himself with residents – Mimi finds herself torn between defending herself from being a person of interest as well as canvassing around town for clues to track down the real murderer. This cozy mystery is a clean read: no graphic violence, sex, or strong language. Witch of Wickrock Bay Series 1 - Count Your Hexes 2 - Listen to Your Art 3 - Trail of Spells
