An Unfurtunate Death

Summer sweeps over Settle Island, bringing sunshine, singalongs, and inter-species strife.

When tourists find the body of a botanist in the National Park, locals go loony believing there’s a rabid lynx lying in wait. But Darcy and her sisters smell a scam and strive to shelter their feline friends from gungho goons with guns out to “protect the public.”

Mounting pressure from town leaders creates conflict between Darcy and Ranger Cutter as they corral a quartet of human suspects, including a riled-up Ranger, a poison peddler, a crabby coworker, and an opportunistic outdoorsman. Darcy’s distressed at the distance she feels from her fellow investigator, but it turns out that’s the least of her problems.

Her sister witches warn her about an unwelcome new development. Sinister shapes continue to stalk them on coven grounds.

But now it’s clear they’re human.

And one of them looks like Darcy’s double.

While Dax threatens to jump ship and leave Settle Island forever, Darcy digs her heels in. Then her grandmother Devora disappears, forcing Darcy to round up every resource to restore calm.

She’s a fighter, sure.

But how will she react if she sees herself in the spooky woods?
