A Dash of Disaster - A Cauldron Café Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798230251774)

Step into Cauldron Café, where the pastries are enchanted, the secrets are deadly, and magic is always on the menu.

Marnie Whitethorn thought she'd left her witchy past behind when she traded spells for spatulas and opened a cozy bakery in the sleepy town of Willowbrook. Her enchanted treats-lavender shortbread that unearths truths, mochas that unlock memories-are meant to comfort, not curse. But when a notorious food critic dies after sipping her Memory Mocha, Marnie becomes the prime suspect in a murder she didn't brew.

To clear her name, she must team up with Detective Liam Hale, a sharp-tongued skeptic with a hidden witch-hunter lineage, and Biscuit, her sarcastic Scottish Fold familiar who's been moonlighting as her estranged mother's spy. As Marnie investigates, she uncovers a web of blackmail tied to her family's stolen grimoire, a haunted forest of cursed cocoa beans, and a mother who vanished to protect a dangerous secret. But the deeper she digs, the more her suppressed magic threatens to boil over-and the closer the killer gets to striking again.

Filled with whimsical spells, slow-burn romance, and a killer hiding in plain sight, A Dash of Disaster is a heartwarming blend of cozy mystery and magical self-discovery. Perfect for fans of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches and The Thursday Murder Club, this series-starter serves up intrigue, charm, and a dash of hope!
