When the bewitching Diana Ravenscroft comes to quiet Tinker's Cove and opens Solstice, a quaint little shop offering everything from jewelry to psychic readings, Lucy Stone writes her off as eccentric but harmless. Even after Diana gives her a disturbingly accurate reading, Lucy can&’t help but befriend the newcomer. But not everyone in town is so enchanted. And when Lucy stumbles upon a dead body near her home, she can&’t shake the feeling that something ominous is lurking in the crisp October air . . . Convinced Diana is an evil witch, prominent businessman Ike Stoughton blames her for a series of recent misfortunes, including Lucy&’s gruesome discovery and his own wife&’s death, and rallies the townsfolk against her. But after Lucy learns the murder victim was a magician and close friend of Diana&’s, she starts to wonder who&’s really stirring up a cauldron of trouble. By Halloween, her suspicions lead her to a deadly web of secrets—and a spine-chilling brush with the things that go bump in the night . . . &“The warm, small-town ambiance and the persevering Lucy Stone make this a winner for cozy fans.&” —Library Journal
