  Misty Valley is on the brink of transformation—and not everyone will survive the change. 
  As journalists flood town for a high-profile announcement promising progress, prosperity, and a Grand Prix–fueled future, Ebrel Dymestl is just trying to keep her café running and her magic under control. Being a newly awakened witch is complicated enough. Doing it under a limiter bracelet while supernatural tensions rise? That’s a recipe for disaster. 
  When a pixie gossip columnist is murdered in front of the press—killed with something as mundane as a newspaper—Ebrel knows the chaos isn’t accidental. As rival columnists clash, old magical grudges resurface, and a long-buried feud escalates into a sanctioned duel, Misty Valley begins to unravel. 
  Then the magic goes very wrong. 
  Floods. Failing spells. A deadly bolt that shouldn’t exist. And an unseen manipulator using Ebrel’s snarky feline familiar as the perfect scapegoat. 
  As bodies fall and the town teeters on the edge of supernatural exposure, Ebrel is forced to dig deeper into a mystery that blends modern ambition with ancient magic. When she’s kidnapped and dragged toward a cliff with death waiting below, she’ll have to rely on allies she never expected—and powers she’s not sure she can control. 
  Progress has a price. 
  Magic always does. 
  A French Press of Murder blends high-stakes urban fantasy with a cozy paranormal mystery heart—featuring witches under pressure, ghosts with opinions, deadly magical politics, and a heroine who just wanted a quiet cup of coffee.

  Halloween in the small town of Fallingbrook, Wisconsin, is the perfect season for Deputy Donut owner Emily Westhill to unmask a killer. October 31 is just around the corner and Emily Westhill’s Boston cream donuts, carved with a scream, have made an indelible impression on local eccentric Rich Royalson. So much so that he’s ordered three dozen, with no screaming faces and twice the fudge frosting, for his seventieth birthday—a special event in more ways than one. It’s to be held on fog-shrouded Lake Fleekom where, twenty years ago, his wife mysteriously drowned.But the next day, when Emily arrives with her Boston cream donuts, she stumbles upon Rich’s corpse. The poor guy wanted a unique birthday bash—just not one to the side of his skull. With a guest list of possible perpetrators left at the scene, Emily soon discovers that the Royalson closet is rattling with skeletons. As the fog thickens, motives mount, and the tricks outnumber the treats, Emily fears that Rich may not be the last one in Fallingbrook to go out screaming.

  Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) was an influential and prolific English writer of the early 20th century. He was a journalist, a poet and a novelist. He wrote 80 books and 200 short stories in addition to his other work. He is perhaps best remembered for his ‘Father Brown’ stories; two collections of which are available at Librivox.org.‘The Man Who Knew Too Much’ has some similarities to the Father Brown stories: Horne Fisher the eponymous hero is connected and indeed related to many of the high-ranking politicians of his age and thus ‘knows too much’ about the background of the mysteries in which he becomes embroiled and which he unravels. (Summary by Martin Clifton)
