It's a lovely day beachside. Rowen and company are enjoying the sun and each other. Despite a pesky curse that prohibits the Greensmiths from venturing too deep into any body of water, it's really shaping out to be a nice afternoon! ...Or at least it was until Rowen stumbles upon the charred body of a man hidden away in the trunk of a submerged car. Rowen and her husband Eric are tasked by local police to look into the matter. Their investigation leads them to Lichen Hallow, a small community in their little town of Lainswich. Lichen Hallow isn't particularly welcoming to outsiders. Worse than that, they're especially distrustful of witches in particular. Rowen and Eric will have to tread lightly, attempting to conceal their own identities in the process. To make matters worse, Rowen's aunts, Lydia and Nadine, have new beaus on the brain. Their relationships are moving much too fast for comfort. Will Rowen be able to juggle family drama and a murder case that's quickly becoming dangerous? Probably not, but she's got to try. Twelfth Volume of the Lainswich Witches Mystery Series. Approx. 50,000 words in length. It is a standalone (reading prior or future volumes not required to enjoy the book, no cliffhanger).
