Perfect for you if...

You enjoy cozy mysteries with paranormal elements and want characters that feel grounded and real between the magical bits.
You love animal sidekicks who are genuinely clever and funny rather than just decorative.
You're after something lighter and more humorous than dark thrillers but still want genuine stakes and a proper puzzle to solve.

Maybe not for you if...

You want gritty, serious crime fiction or hardboiled detective narratives without levity.
You're sceptical of talking animal plots and prefer mysteries that stick strictly to the procedural.
You need your paranormal elements explained in detail rather than accepting them as part of the world.

About this book

Tessa Windsor works as a hiking guide in the Colorado Rockies and enjoys a quiet life. This changes when she inherits from a great-aunt she never knew, discovering her inheritance grants her magic. She can now understand her border collie, Finn, and cat, Briar, who communicate with her. Tessa experiences a vision of a woman being murdered. When the details prove real, she cannot ignore it. With Finn and Briar's help, she investigates the mystery and uncovers secrets someone will kill to protect. As danger escalates, Tessa must develop her magical abilities and rely on her connection with her animal companions to solve the case before becoming the next victim. The story combines cozy mystery elements with paranormal themes set in the Colorado Rockies.
