This is book 11 in the Spellbound Bookshop paranormal small town, cozy mystery series by USA TODAY Bestselling Author J.A. Whiting.
The annual Hamlet Spring Festival should be a time of celebration in the charming coastal town of Hamlet, Massachusetts. Shelby Price is looking forward to five days of vendor booths, art shows, music, and festive lights twinkling over the town common. But when a neighbor Mary Chandler arrives at the Spellbound Bookshop in a panic, Shelby’s plans take a dark turn.
Professor Elana Mitchell, a beloved regular who’s spent every spring and summer in Hamlet for eighteen years, has vanished without a trace. Her cottage shows signs of a struggle, her phone is smashed, and she’s missed appointments she’d never miss. When a woman’s body is discovered behind the festival stage, stabbed to death, Shelby realizes Elana’s disappearance is connected to something far more dangerous than anyone imagined.
With her telepathic cat Harper sensing danger at every turn, Shelby discovers that killers have come to Hamlet, posing as festival tourists and are hunting for the missing professor.
As Shelby races to find Elana before the killers do, the investigation leads her to unexpected alliances and will take the combined psychic powers of friends—and three very determined cats—to protect an innocent woman and bring the killers to justice.
Spring has come to Hamlet, but this season brings trouble that could prove deadly.
A perfect read for fans of cozy paranormal mysteries with a touch of romance, history, and small-town charm.
This story has some mild paranormal elements.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
