Bizarre Love Potion

A Witches of Holiday Hills Cozy Mystery

By: Carolyn Ridder Aspenson

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Welcome back to Holiday Hills, a magical town where good always trumps evil, even if it’s a little late to the game.

Bessie’s Enchanted Bookstore and Café is my sanctuary—a cozy corner where I write my witchy mysteries, surrounded by the scent of cinnamon lattes and the quiet rustle of book pages. But fiction became reality when Hansen, a young witch and Bessie’s part-time employee, dropped dead while serving pumpkin spice lattes.

Now, I’m in the middle of a real-life murder mystery, and Bessie, the closest thing I have to family, needs my help. With my snarky cat familiar, Cooper, and my best friend Stella—along with her snack-loving dog, Pony—we’ve become an unlikely detective team, much to the dismay of my police-chief boyfriend.

But Hansen’s death wasn’t an accident. It was murder. And as I dig deeper, secrets start unraveling—love potions gone wrong, long-buried grudges, and enough scandal to fill a book. But the clock is ticking, and if I don’t solve this case soon, I might be next.

In Holiday Hills, mysteries aren’t just for my novels—they’re dangerously real.
