  The island is open for guests, and Phoebe feels like she's finally found her place, writing a novel in her new beach house. But when a local fisherman's boat washes ashore and the catch of the day is the fisherman, Phoebe and the Hadley witches are determined to make sure there's no connection to them or the island. Phoebe attempts to use her powers as a medium to consult with the newly departed for answers. But the poor soul doesn't even understand he's dead, let alone know how he met his demise. 
   
   
   
  While Phoebe and the others try to balance keeping the peace among the manor guests and searching for a killer, a suspicious storm blows in and Phoebe's familiar goes missing. In the hunt for the owl, Phoebe discovers hidden cursed ancient treasures that lead her to believe there's an evil force on the island. A hot lead lures her out to a remote part of the island where she's faced with a power much stronger than her own. Will help arrive in time, or will her bravado leave her magic and potentially her life bound and gagged? 
   
   
   
  Join Phoebe and her coven in Scarlett Moss's Witches, Fishes, & Deaths, a midlife paranormal cozy mystery that will have you laughing, gasping, and reaching for your wand. With a zoo of familiars, cursed artifacts, and more magic than you can shake a wand at, this book is the perfect potion for a cozy night in.

  Lord Jim at Home

  "A brilliant, chilling picture of the English middle class at home." —Illustrated London News 
   
   
   
  When Dinah Brooke's second novel, Lord Jim at Home, was first published in 1973, it was described as "squalid and startling," "nastily horrific," and a "monstrous parody" of upper-middle class English life. It is the story of Giles Trenchard, who grows up isolated in an atmosphere of privilege and hidden violence; who goes to war, and returns; and then, one day—like the hero of Joseph Conrad's classic Lord Jim—commits an act that calls his past, his character, his whole world into question. 
   
   
   
  Out of print for nearly half a century (and never published in the United States), Lord Jim at Home reveals a daring writer long overdue for reappraisal, whose work has retained all its originality and power. As Ottessa Moshfegh writes in her foreword to this new edition, Brooke evokes childhood vulnerability and adult cruelty "in a way that nice people are too polite to admit they understand."

  🏖️ When marine biologist Cora Seabrook returns to her childhood seaside town to run the local aquarium, she expects peaceful days of studying marine life and giving dolphin tours. But when the town's most disliked developer washes ashore during the annual Sandcastle Festival, Cora's scientific mind spots inconsistencies the police overlook. The victim had been threatening to build a resort that would destroy the town's natural coastline, making enemies of local business owners, environmental activists, and even Cora's own family. With a hurricane approaching and the town cut off from the mainland, Cora must use her knowledge of ocean currents, marine evidence, and coastal ecology to piece together the truth. But in a town where everyone has something to hide, Cora discovers that some secrets run as deep as the ocean—and the killer is still watching from the shore.
