    Addison Harper is back, and with another dead body at his feet. Only this time, the entire town saw it happen. 
     
     
     
    Milverton is in the running for the Terrific Town Award, so a dramatic death at the opening ceremony is far from ideal. Addison had only been lending a hand, but now finds himself much more involved than he'd ever hoped. To think his biggest worry before had been his upcoming date with Sergeant Jake Murphy. 
     
     
     
    As for the sergeant, he can hardly ignore a hall full of witnesses even if he wanted to. And they're all pointing the finger at his date, Milverton's newest arrival, Addison Harper. 
     
     
     
    Poison at Penshaw Hall is the latest in a wonderful cozy mystery series set in an enchanting small town nestled amongst stunning New Zealand scenery. Investigate The Milverton Mysteries for a chaotic cast of local busybodies, delicious baked treats, a demanding and disdainful ginger cat, a very slow-burn romance with a rather appealing policeman, and of course . . . murder!

    Hazel Greenwood, an awkward, late-blooming witch, finds true friendship and love while solving magical mysteries in this light, funny series that's been compared to "a mug of hot cocoa." 
    Hazel's not your average cat-loving witch who owns a bakery. She's got scars, the invisible kind; growing up, her magic and her confidence were smothered by her shallow Beige Witch mom and sisters. Now, at twenty-eight, Hazel's finally coming into her power and is a force to be reckoned with in her magical community, the idyllic seaside town of Blue Moon Bay. 
    But even though the Bay appears picture-perfect, with its quaint shops and misty mornings where sea spray mingles with magic, mysteries lurk beneath its small-town charm. When Hazel's thrust into the middle of a murder investigation in order to clear her boyfriend's name, she's surprised to find allies in her former high school rivals, neurodivergent bobcat shifter Max and ex-mean-girl-cheerleader Britt (now a chill, non-judgmental vampire). Soon Hazel's helped form an unstoppable trio of supernatural detectives. Now if only hot deputy Elliot James would share police intelligence with her ... along with any other secrets he might be keeping. 
    Wrapped in warmth, humor, and the cozy comfort of found family, the Blue Moon Bay Witches series weaves together magic, mystery, and romance into a spell you won't want to break. Dive into the enchanting world of Blue Moon Bay today.
