Dr. Brian Hampton says he's been framed.Still reeling from grief at the loss of her child, Hannah no longer knows who to believe, who's lying and who's not.

    Normally, the scent of cookies, scones, and waffle cones fills the air around Whispering Pines’ bake shop, but kitchen witches Sugar and Honey Graham have mysteriously lost their touch. Sugar’s pastries won’t bake properly, and Honey’s ice cream tastes awful.  
Certain they’ve been cursed, the sisters turn to their coven’s high priestess, Reeva Long, for help.  
Reeva, however, is busier than ever with her own shop this season. Add a crabby teenage tenant, a moody best friend, and a new boyfriend—er, manfriend?—and Reeva’s plate is not only full, it’s overflowing. How can she possibly squeeze in more? 
But when a tourist is found dead and a villager is accused of murder, Reeva knows the village has bigger problems than icky ice cream. It’s time for Long & McLaughlin Private Investigators (aka Reeva and Ruby) to put their sleuthing skills into action and catch the real killer.

This audiobook is narrated using advanced digital voice technology for clear, natural-sounding storytelling.
Real estate is a competitive business and Kirstin likes to work the angles—so she keeps an eye on the obituaries and has a mortician notify her when a property's about to go on the market. The latest tip could lead to a big payoff: a famed child psychologist has died, and the stunning Millford estate on an idyllic island off Cornwall, is about to become available.
Kirstin makes sure to mingle among the bereaved and pass along her business card. However, when she witnesses an apparent blackmail attempt and a near-fatal accident, Kirstin decides it's time to leave. But with the local roads closed, she can't get away.
As the body count rises, Kirstin finds she is a suspect—as well as a potential victim. And if the killer isn't caught soon, someone might be writing Kirstin's obituary . . .
