Until the Broom Bristle Breaks
(2024)(The seventh book in the Murder, She Witches series)
A novel by Kat McGee
A fatal broom crash at Octavia Grimstone's date night thrusts her into a spiraling mystery, where she must sleuth ancient enchantments and modern motives to save her magical town.Octavia Grimstone's evening was supposed to be about sparks flying, but not like this. Just as she's dipping her toes back into the dating pool, a broom—her broom—crashes through the bistro skylight with a handyman from town clinging on for dear life. Except, he's not clinging anymore; he's dead, and the broom's not just broken but sabotaged.
Now, in Grimstone Grove, where magic's as common as bad weather, Octavia's got more than just her love life to worry about. Teaming up with Cassius Morgenthrall, the wizard coroner with a knack for the mystical and the mysterious, they dive into a case that's twisting faster than a spell gone awry.
And then there's Elzadora, Octavia's feline familiar, who's always had more sass than a roomful of witches. With her cryptic clues and catty commentary, she might just help Octavia untangle this mess—unless she gets distracted by a magical mouse or two.
As the investigation spirals, it's not just the broom bristles breaking—it's the whole town's peace. Octavia needs to wrap this up before Grimstone Grove unravels for good. It's a race against time, magic, and maybe even her own heart, as she tries to solve the mystery without landing herself in the next headline: "Local Witch Solves Case but Breaks Broom—and Heart."
Octavia must tap into the magic of bookstore, risking it Three Witches Bookstore and the very fabric of Grimstone Grove before the last bristle breaks. Or will this mystery sweep her off her feet for good?
