About A Witch in the Wind: Mystic Sky Cozy Mystery, Book 2

Here's the tightened version:Storms I Can Handle. Murder? That's Another Matter.

I am Ava, and I like things a certain way — organized, precise, and preferably free of other people's chaos. As a former meteorologist with a quiet command over air itself, I traded weather charts for spreadsheets at my roommate Harper's catering firm. It's a sensible arrangement.

Harper conjures miracles with spice magic, I balance the books, Clove — my snowshoe hare familiar — judges everyone silently, and Theo, our hulking, perpetually sauce-splattered black bear of a business partner, makes my carefully ordered nerves feel anything but calm. When a former colleague hires us to cater a party at my old meteorology office in Burlington, Vermont, I expect awkward small talk and a flawless charcuterie spread. Instead, the most celebrated meteorologist in New England turns up dead before the appetizers are cleared.

Now the winds are whispering things they shouldn't know, Clove won't stop thumping at the suspects, and Theo — sauce on his collar as always — is looking at me like I'm the only storm worth chasing.
