Magick Run Amok

Praise for Magick & Mayhem, the first Abracadabra mystery "Pape has a sure-handed balance of humor and action." -Julie Hyzy, New York Times bestselling author "Spellbinding, with magical prose, a wizardly plot, and a charming sleuth." -Janet Bolin, Agatha-nominated author of the national bestselling Threadville Mysteries "Magic, Merlin, and murder are a great mix for this fun debut cozy." -Lynn Cahoon, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author The answer to whodunit may lie beyond the veil . . . November in upstate New York can be chilly, but Kailyn Wilde's shop, Abracadabra, is a cozy respite where you can find lotions, potions, and plenty of warm, feline company. But what customers don't know is that the proprietor has some unusual powers-and unusual friends, including the renowned magician Merlin, who's been transported into the modern world. All of which comes in handy when there's a murder to be solved . . . Investigative journalist Ryan Cutler has perished in a car accident in New Camel, and his friend, Travis, suspects foul play-especially when the reporter's notes reveal a mysterious list of dead men's names. Kailyn wants to help, but she's also got her hands full with the curmudgeonly Merlin, who's not exactly maintaining a low profile. Between keeping the wizard under wraps and mixing up cold remedies that work like magic, she'll have to tap into her many talents to figure out a killer's fatal formula . . . "A charming, must-read mystery with enchanting characters. A fun and entertaining page turner."-Rose Pressey, USA Today bestselling author
