About Blackmail and Broomsticks

Blushing bride or malicious murderer? Bex is enjoying the peace and tranquility of her new life in Willowmere - well, as much tranquility as running a lending library and mastering witchcraft under the critical eye of her opinionated familiar, cat Cosmo Merlin de Beaufort allows. With the aid of her growing skills and modern medicine, Bex finally has both menopause and magical hot flashes under control.

This middle-aged witch is more than happy to put the past aside - until her ex-husband’s much younger fiancée Candice begs Bex to restore a collection of antique furniture she bought for their business. Eager to prove that she’s moved on, Bex agrees. But when the antique chest arrives, it contains more than sawdust and spiderwebs.

Inside is the dead body of a man Candice used to date. A man she was last seen fighting with. Now Bex and Cosmo - who insists on assisting - are working against the clock to catch the killer before Candice ends up behind bars.
