Scandal & Gretel

A Bohemian Lake Cozy Mystery

Scandal & Gretel is the first book in a haunting new paranormal cozy mystery series about an adventurous book club run by witches. Bohemian Lake’s bookstore regularly spotlights a 19th-century author. This month it just happens to be a duo—the Brothers Grimm—and the Gaslamp Literary adventure book club is off to explore the medieval magic of the Black Forest in South Western Germany.

Sera Popescu is excited to see the half-timbered homes, hear the cuckoo clocks and travel over the narrow cobblestone streets. But the fairy tale scenario gets a little too real when one of the members finds a body in the oven. Could the charred remains belong to the Gingerbread Hag or is this just a prank for the tourists?

As if things weren’t grim enough, when they return to town, they discover two children are missing and their host has been arrested for murder. Now, holed up in a small German village full of riled up witch-haters, it’s up to Sera to find the story’s happy ending—or wind up over the pyre.
