Hot Cider and a Poisoned Potion: A Halloween Witch Cozy Mystery

By Casey Dellbrook

The first cup of the Lantern Fair always goes to the worst man in Hollowmere. This year, June Bramble pours it, Victor Crane drinks it, and halfway through his speech, he drops dead.

In this Halloween witch cozy mystery, June runs a small cider house in Vermont where every brew smells like the season, and her nose can pick one clove out of a crowded room. She knows what she smelled under the cinnamon in Victor's cup. Foxglove.

Now her cider is evidence, her best friend's fingerprints are on the tankard, and the town's other witch is about to take the blame.

With six days of festival left, June has a fair to run, a goat that eats everything, a jackdaw familiar who steals anything shiny, and a tired state police detective who takes his cider without the cinnamon stick. Somewhere among the jack-o'-lanterns, a killer is hiding in plain sight. June has to sniff them out before the Last Lantern is lit.

Clean, funny, and full of small-town charm, with a slow-burn romance, no gore, and a bonus hot cider recipe at the back.
