The Groom Who Died Before 'I Do'
(2025)(The seventh book in the Enchanted Whisk series)
A novel by Poppy Windham
I just wanted to bake a cake. ONE cake. How hard could it be?
Turns out? Extremely hard when the groom drops dead before saying "I do" and everyone thinks MY desserts killed him.
I'm Sage Thorne—kitchen witch, accidental detective, and apparently a murder magnet. When dreamy flower witch Celestine Moonpetal begs me to make her wedding cake with only two weeks' notice, I should've said no. But self-preservation has never been my strong suit.
Now Obsidian Nightforge is dead from a cursed dessert, my magical signature matches the murder weapon, and Sheriff Brightwater is giving me those "don't leave town" looks. My talking cat Basil won't stop saying "I told you so," and half the wedding party had excellent reasons to want the groom six feet under.
There's the bitter ex-wife burning evidence. The maid of honor secretly in love with the bride. The broke accountant brother. The creepy ex-fiancé. And the best man who walked out looking like his world just ended.
Oh, and the wedding was scheduled for Friday the Thirteenth. Because of course it was.
Armed with pixie photography, magical forensics, and way too much stress-baking at 3 AM, I need to find the real killer before I trade my apron for an orange jumpsuit. Someone in Moonbridge Hollow is getting away with murder, and I'm running out of time to prove I'm only guilty of making lopsided cupcakes.
(They're artisanal, okay? ARTISANAL.)
Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with snarky heroines, talking familiars with opinions, werewolf boyfriends, and enough wedding drama to make reality TV jealous.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
