Night of the Conjuror
(2025)(The second book in the Edwina Gale Paranormal Investigator series)
A novel by Shéa MacLeod
A haunted attic is one thing. An overly charming new neighbor in a cursed mansion is another. But when people start vanishing, this sixty-something witch is trading her apron for her gumshoes.
Edwina Gale thought her biggest problem was the flaky contractor renovating her attic… until he vanished after uncovering a secret room. Now, a mysterious newcomer has bought the town's cursed mansion, a young librarian is missing, and rumors of dark, blood magic are spooking the supernatural residents of Deepwood. With the help of her witch friends, this sixty-something pie-baking witch must serve up a slice of justice and expose the sinister secrets before anyone else is kidnapped, or worse.
Join Edwina and her eccentric circle of friends—including her Ancient Egyptian priestess bestie and the fabulous were-jackal drag queen, Bubbles—on her latest investigation.

- Murder with a side of sequins.
A mysterious neighbor with an even more mysterious butler.
Breakfast foods as comfort, also donuts. Lots of donuts.
Enough magical mischief to fry your circuits.
Deepwood is basically Stars Hollow with more sass, less subtlety, and about a 40% higher body count than you'd expect from a place with such a small population.
