Bitter Bobby and the Devil Woman
(2026)(The seventh book in the Jess and Libby Paranormal Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by A W Hartoin
The mother of all messes.
A blast from the recent past.
An unspeakable crime.
Jess and Libby's first pro bono case was supposed to be straightforward. Help a friend, do some good, build their reputation. Instead, they get a ghost who refuses to cooperate, a mountain of paperwork, and a deadline with real consequences for a client who's running out of time to sort out her father’s estate before she loses his business and her chance at a better life.
Then a paying case lands on their doorstep. Literally.
A desperate niece with a heartfelt plea and a murderer for an uncle isn't exactly their ideal client, but the cash is too good and the need too real to refuse. Emily’s uncle is guilty, but he is also brilliant. If he believes his fellow prisoner, Bobby Fairfax is innocent, there’s something to it. But the case is thirty years old and no one in St. Seb wants to reopen old wounds. It doesn’t take long to see that Bobby got a raw deal and they can’t turn their backs on him or the victims.
Now they're running two investigations at once with no solid leads and more ghosts demanding attention than they have hours in the day.
The search winds through a haunted high school, a restaurant with clientele nobody should trust, and a farmhouse where grief has settled into the walls.
Jess and Libby have survived plenty before — difficult ghosts, broken families, chaos on a scale most people never encounter. This time, they're running two cases at once, dealing with secrets on both sides, and racing a clock that won't give them an inch.
The dead have answers. Getting them to talk is another matter.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
