Synopsis

This is book 8 in the Spellbound Bookshop paranormal cozy mystery series by USA TODAY Bestselling Author J.A. Whiting.

It is the beautiful month of August in the seacoast town of Hamlet, Massachusetts and a famous violinist has come to town for rest, relaxation, and a quiet place to compose his music.

When the musician begins to unravel and his prized violin is stolen, Shelby Price, the owner of a bookshop, and her boyfriend, Detective Travis Whitely, step in to solve the case of the missing instrument.

More than a year ago, Shelby fell off a ladder and hit her head and when she woke up, she could hear her cat, Harper, talking to her. Not only that, but she started to develop some paranormal powers.

There seems to be a historical parallel to a missing violinist from the past, but what is really going on?

With the help of Harper, Shelby's friend Lucy, psychic shop owner Fiona, and shaman Elias, will they figure out the secrets before something terrible happens?

This story has some mild paranormal elements.
