Don't Talk to Witches
(2026)(Book 32 in the Witches of Holiday Hills Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Carolyn Ridder Aspenson
Witch, small town, cat familiar, cozy mystery
Abby Odell didn't ask to be Holiday Hills' magical mediator. But when the gnomes' ceremonial hats go missing and the trolls set up a toll booth at the Enchanted Forest entrance, someone has to broker peace — and that someone is her.
There's just one problem: as a rule, trolls don't talk to witches. There are exceptions, but this time, nope. None.
With offended gnomes, a smug troll king who thinks diplomacy means arm-wrestling, and a thief still on the loose, Abby's running out of time before a stolen hat sparks a full-scale magical turf war. Her cat familiar Cooper thinks she should charge her own toll. She's considering it.
