Trial Moon Over Candlewick Creek: A Paranormal Witch and Wolf Cozy Mystery of Hearings, Hexes, and Reckoning
About Trial Moon Over Candlewick Creek: A Paranormal Witch and Wolf Cozy Mystery of Hearings, Hexes, and Reckoning
Candlewick Creek is done pretending this is only about one murder. A regional “safeguarding” hearing arrives in town promising fairness, healing, and neutral process. Tamsin Hart sees the setup for what it is the moment the packets land on her counter.
The language is polished. The procedures look clean. The routes are controlled.
Witnesses are being managed before they even speak. Then Alma Reese comes forward with proof that the network has been using template smear campaigns, fake concern reports, and staged confusion to break witnesses and steer public opinion. Before she can safely transfer everything, Alma is found dead near the sanctuary in what officials try to label a tragic fall.
Tamsin and Deputy Rowan Pike refuse the ready-made story. With Moss tracking the real routes and Tamsin separating fake hex theatre from disciplined craft residue, they build a case around timing, access, and custody. What they uncover is worse than a single killer.
It is a coordinated sabotage system hiding inside “care” language, hearing procedures, and evidence handling rules. As the Trial Moon hearing turns into a public battleground, Tamsin must risk a controlled ward demonstration to expose tampering in real time. Rowan is forced to make arrests under pressure while county officials scramble to protect the process, not the truth.
And when a trained operator tied to earlier cases steps into daylight, the cost hits home. Book 6 is the reckoning. A murder case closes.
A larger machine is exposed.
