Don't Curse Me Like That

A Witches of Holiday Hills Cozy Mystery

USA TODAY Bestselling Author Carolyn Ridder Aspenson is back with a fun and funny romp in Holiday Hills!

Competition is one thing, but murder is another.

When Page Turners, a new bookstore in Holiday Hills, opens its doors, it’s not just books flying off the shelves—accusations are too. Constantine Fairbanks, the tech-savvy owner of the shop, claims Bessie, the heart of The Enchanted Bookstore and Cafe, and Holiday Hills itself, is trying to sabotage her competition, his business.

With glitchy e-readers and talk of other crazy events, the town is buzzing with gossip.

Things heat up when a bomb explodes, putting Constantine in the hospital. When he dies, gossip focuses on Bessie, but I can’t let her be tried and convicted by gossip alone.

Cooper, Stella, Pony, and I dive into the mystery, intent on clearing Bessie’s name and finding the culprit. Like the cozy mysteries I write, I wind up on the top of the killer’s enemy list. Can we find the killer before I end up six feet under?
