ghostly visitor with unfinished business. A florist with a dangerous secret. And a proposal that might have to wait.
When a spectral figure appears in the Three Witches Bookstore leaving cryptic clues, Octavia Grimstone knows her engagement celebration must wait. The ghost seems desperate to communicate something, but what did it give up to deliver this message from beyond?
Just as Octavia begins to investigate, Grimstone Grove's beloved flower shop owner, Tansy Bloomfield, is found dead at the bottom of her rooftop garden stairs, clutching a rare botanical specimen purchased from the Three Witches Bookstore. The unusual bloom, rumored to have extraordinary magical properties, somehow connects to the ghost haunting the bookstore's shelves.
A ghost hunter TV crew quickly descends on the bookstore, determined to capture authentic paranormal footage for their show. Meanwhile, Tansy's assistant, a well-meaning ghost wrangler with glitchy magic from the next town over, steps in to keep the flower shop running while attempting to contact her former boss's spirit. Her unpredictable spells have already turned all the roses into singing bouquets and given Elzadora, Octavia's sardonic cat familiar, the ability to levitate.
Between responding to Cassius Morgenthrall's heartfelt proposal, keeping the ghost hunters from sensationalizing her bookstore, and preventing the ghost wrangler from causing more magical mishaps, Octavia must dig up the roots of this mystery before another life is cut short. As she prunes away red herrings and cultivates clues, she discovers that in Grimstone Grove, deadly secrets can take root in the most beautiful gardens.
With her yellow quill in hand and Elzadora's thorny commentary keeping her on edge, Octavia is determined to unearth the truth and bring peace to both the living and the dead before the killer's sinister plans fully bloom.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
