Spells & Splinters
(2026)(The fifth book in the Whispering Falls: Cozy Magical Cat Mystery series)
A novel by Hazel Whitmore
Spells & SplintersA Whispering Falls Mystery, Book 5
The shop is finally becoming real and so is the proof that nothing on the Blackwood estate stays buried for long.
Construction has barely started on the old Pruitt building when Clara Mercer finds herself running three things at once: a print room taking shape under Sera's steady hands and Margaret's stubborn perfectionism, a stack of inherited spell books she and Nora can't stop reading deep into the night, and a locked drawer in the estate archives that won't open for anyone… not even her.
Then someone starts selling "authentic Blackwood estate antiques" two counties over. The trouble is, they're real. Which means someone has access to the estate that Clara never gave them, and a history that isn't supposed to be for sale.
Between unreadable handwriting older than the house itself, a town still settling after last summer's scandal, and a culprit closer to home than anyone wants to admit, Clara is about to learn that some treasures are worth protecting and some people just need someone to notice they're drowning before they do something they can't take back.
Whispering Falls is healing. The cats are watching. And Clara is just getting started.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
