Wolfsbane and a Body: A Paranormal Witchy Cozy Mystery with a Wolf-Dog Familia
About Wolfsbane and a Body: A Paranormal Witchy Cozy Mystery with a Wolf-Dog Familia
Tamsin Hart comes home to Candlewick Creek to save her late grandmother’s apothecary, Sable & Sage, from being sold off. The shop still smells of beeswax and dried herbs. The town still smiles like it is doing you a favour.
And her grandmother is still being called “the witch,” a label people loved when it was convenient. Then a developer’s consultant is found dead behind the shop on the morning of the Moon Market, staged to look like folklore: crushed herbs, torn labels, and dragged tracks meant to scream “wolf attack.” The town does not wait for facts.
It points at the sanctuary, then at Tamsin’s rescued wolf-dog familiar, Moss, and finally at Tamsin herself. Tamsin knows two things. Wolves are not killers, and fear is the easiest weapon in Candlewick Creek.
With Deputy Rowan Pike trying to hold the line against hysteria, Tamsin follows what the town ignores: receipts, access points, and the residue of real craft used to fake a story. When she opens her grandmother’s grimoire, she discovers it is more than spellwork. It is a coded ledger of old deals and dangerous names, and someone is willing to kill to get it back.
