A sapphic paranormal cozy mystery

She inherited a haunted bookstore. He inherited a grudge against squirrels. This Halloween, they're both about to inherit a murder.

Nora Ashcroft is starting over in Autumnal Hollow, a town where the pumpkins are always plump and the fall foliage is suspiciously perfect. Her new life as the owner of The Final Chapter bookstore is supposed to be cozy and quiet, even if the resident ghost keeps rearranging the poetry section and her psychic "echoes" are getting louder. Her only partner-in-crime is Bowie, a basset hound who communicates exclusively through dramatic sighs and whose only mystery is the location of his next nap.

But when a wealthy developer is found dead in the alley on Halloween night, Nora's peaceful existence is shattered. The murder weapon is missing, and the town's new sheriff—Nora's sharp, skeptical, and distractingly beautiful ex-girlfriend, Evelyn Stone—is looking for a logical explanation.

Unfortunately for Nora, all the evidence points to her best friend.

With Evelyn bound by the rules and an innocent woman's freedom on the line, Nora must embrace her chaotic psychic gift. Aided by her four-legged lie detector, she follows a spectral trail from a spooky graveyard to an ancient town secret. As old sparks with Evelyn reignite, Nora finds herself caught between a killer who will do anything to protect the past and a woman who refuses to believe in anything she can't see.

Can Nora solve the murder before the last of the Halloween candy is gone, or will she become the next ghost to haunt Autumnal Hollow?

A must-read for fans of spooky small towns, slow-burn sapphic romance, and lovable animal sidekicks. If you enjoy the magical mysteries of Annabel Chase, the witchy charm of Amy Boyles, or the cozy romances of Olivia Waite, you’ll be enchanted by this book!
