Witch Hazel and Wicked Warnings: A Thorne Sister Sleuths Cozy Mystery

Holiday Halloween Cozy Mysteries Women Sleuths

In the quaint town of Bloomwood, Halloween isn’t just about costumes and candy, it’s about legends, lost heirs, and the long shadow of Blackston Manor.

When Iris and Poppy Thorne agree to decorate the town’s spookiest estate for the annual community party, they expect cobwebs, cider, and maybe a ghost story or two. What they don’t expect is a murder.

A respected historian is found dead during the manor’s ghost tour, clutching a sprig of witch hazel, a plant steeped in Southern folklore and deadly symbolism. As whispers of a century-old curse resurface and eerie warnings appear at their flower shop, the sisters are drawn into a chilling mystery rooted in family secrets, forgotten love, and a disappearance that was never truly solved.

With their quirky assistant Dolly, a haunted child’s vision, and their late mother’s herbal journal as guides, Iris and Poppy must untangle truth from superstition before the killer strikes again…and this time, they may be the target.

Is the killer using the past to justify revenge… or is something even more wicked blooming in Bloomwood?

Curl up with Witch Hazel and Wicked Warnings, a spellbinding Southern mystery full of sisterly sleuthing, botanical clues, and ghostly twists.

Family secrets and Witch Hazel

Good short listen. The town holds many secrets. The ending is not complete as to what all happened in town. I’m sure the sequels will keep looking for truths. Overall good start however would have liked some closure.

cozy filler story
