Turkey Day Trouble
(2026)(The second book in the Witchy Holiday Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Carolyn Ridder Aspenson
If you love witchy cozy mysteries, magical small towns, talking familiars, quirky characters, and holiday mysteries packed with secrets, welcome back to Stardust Springs!
Thanksgiving is coming to Stardust Springs, and this town takes Turkey Day very seriously. There’s a town-wide feast, a fiercely competitive pie contest, enough magical food to feed everyone twice, and the Founders’ Horn, an ancient enchanted cornucopia that has kept Stardust Springs from going hungry for more than three hundred years.
Great Aunt Ezzie is determined to win the pie contest with her family’s brown butter pecan pie. Harold, my sarcastic snake familiar, is determined to offer opinions nobody asked for. And I’m hoping to enjoy one peaceful holiday with Mason, our handsome new police chief.
Naturally, that’s when a stranger blows into town claiming the Founders’ Horn belongs to him.
Cornelius Crane has the paperwork, the family history, and every intention of taking the magical artifact away after Thanksgiving. The town is furious, Aunt Ezzie insists something about his story is wrong, and Crane seems to have a talent for making enemies everywhere he goes.
Then, on the morning of the feast, the impossible happens. The Founders’ Horn disappears. So do every single one of the contest pies.
With Stardust Springs’ most treasured magical artifact missing and Thanksgiving hanging in the balance, Mason has his hands full. Which means it’s up to me, Harold, and my eccentric group of magical friends to follow the clues before a centuries-old tradition disappears for good.
But nothing in Stardust Springs is ever that simple. Because someone is hiding the truth. Someone else is hungry.
And this Thanksgiving, I have a feeling we’re dealing with more than one kind of trouble.
Turkey Day Trouble is a fun, festive paranormal cozy mystery filled with witches, magic, an amateur sleuth, a talking animal familiar, a magical small town, quirky senior characters, holiday traditions, small-town secrets, a touch of romance, and a puzzling Thanksgiving whodunit perfect for readers who love their cozy mysteries with a supernatural twist.
This is a spin off from the Witches of Holiday Hills Cozy Mysteries.
