In My Attic - A Magical Misfits Mystery

Sometimes all it takes is murder to discover who you truly are. Grammar school teacher Myrtle Coldron has no patience to spare for Aunt Eve's Wiccan shenanigans. Myrtle ignores auntie's frantic plea for help—only to learn she has crashed from the attic to her death. The circumstances are suspicious; murder is on the cards. Riddled with guilt, Myrtle returns to the Witch's Retreat, Eve's beloved Bed and Breakfast, to sleuth for the truth. No such luck. The sleepy, historic village sheltering the B+B also hides a mystery. Soon enough, Myrtle is besieged by a zany posse of suspects, nightly visitors in the attic, threatening notes—and a zombie primula with a mind of its own. Somebody is out to get her, and it will take all her skills—including those she doesn't care for—to keep Myrtle alive.
