Dying To Forget

Synopsis

Gina Ferraro finally had things sorted. Her coven met Tuesdays. Her ghost mother-in-law had mostly stopped criticizing her outfits. And the silver fox detective had started finding excuses to drop by.

Then the lighthouse keeper fell. The city archivist turned up dead. And Gina learned that Starfall Bay was built on top of a hundred-and-seventy-year-old binding the founding families never meant anyone to undo.

Breaking the curse takes four bloodlines at the original site. The last Waverly just died. The release words are missing. A developer has filed a demolition permit on the Merriwell Building that takes effect in forty-eight hours.

Detective Tony Caruso has two homicides, a developer with political friends, and a woman who keeps knowing things she shouldn't. He hasn't decided whether to arrest her or ask her to dinner.

Gina's fifty-two. She has coffee, a coven, and a ghost mother-in-law with opinions. She'll figure it out.

For readers who love cozy mysteries with a paranormal twist: menopausal mediums, small-town secrets, a slow-burn silver fox romance, and a curse nobody was supposed to have to break.
