Synopsis

When a human goes missing, three busybody fairies team up with a clever gnome turned amateur sleuth in this whimsical cozy mystery. Magic, mayhem, and mischief await. 

When Zig, a knick-knack scavenger and turnip hauler, isn’t scouring for trinkets at the humans’ midden in the wee hours, he ‘borrows’ from a farmer’s vegetable patch like it’s a free-for-all open market, supplying veggies to his sister’s place in Thimbleville. But picking the cream of the farm’s crops abruptly halts when the produce supplier mysteriously disappears.

“All that’s left of Old Tom is his green thumb.”She held up a shimmery hand, palm out. “…It’s in your best interest to help us.”

Bamboozled into helping the fairy sisters investigate the human's disappearance, Ziggy Poppin is about to uncover hidden secrets that forest kinfolk would rather remain buried.

If he’s lucky, he’ll get rid of the vexing triplets, gain a few magical fairy tears, and hopefully avoid joining the sisters on the fae’s troublemaker list.

Set in a mythical world filled with faun and fracas, troll and trouble, and fae and foul play, this cozy mystery with its touch of dry humor is for book lovers who enjoy magical mischief, mythological creatures, and low-stakes fantasy.
