Spelling Murder: A Witch and Kitten Cozy Mystery

Her boyfriend's 6-year-old daughter, a budding witch with an infectious laugh and a stubborn streak, moves in with daddy. So Netta's lovelife changes radically, even as Danny drops hints about diamond rings.

Meanwhile, familiar Sargasso trains an apprentice, a white kitten named Caspia with strong ideas about how magickers should behave.

There's such a thing as too much change.

As Netta wrangles these wrinkles and runs her B&B and dive shack as usual, bestie Justine starts falling into trances and scrawling spooky messages while she's out that no one understands.
But Justine's mortal, so what gives?

And then there's another corpse.

This time, one of Netta's friends ends up dead on a raft drifting in Sugar Cove. Witch and cop look into a fanatical follower, a cranky collaborator, an angry agent and a lamenting lover. But as the case draws to a seeming close, Justine's spirit writing suggests they've got it all wrong.

Stop the island, this witch wants off!
