Perfect for you if...

You enjoy cosy mysteries where the magic system feels grounded and believable rather than over-the-top.
You like protagonists who stumble into their supernatural abilities and grow into them gradually.
You want a charming small-town setting with quirky characters and a whodunit plot that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer dark or gritty mysteries where the stakes feel genuinely dangerous.
You want action-heavy plots rather than character-driven stories with slower pacing.
You're looking for standalone novels instead of the first book in a series.

About this book

Katie Lightfoot leaves her job as assistant manager at an Ohio bakery to join her aunt Lucy and uncle Ben at their new bakery in Savannah's downtown district. At the Honeybee Bakery—named after Lucy's cat—Katie discovers that her aunt adds mysterious herbs to her recipes. These are not ordinary ingredients: Aunt Lucy is a witch, and her recipes are actually spells. When a difficult customer is murdered outside the bakery, Uncle Ben becomes the primary suspect. Katie and Aunt Lucy work to clear his name and identify the real killer, with assistance from journalist Steve Dawes, firefighter Declan McCarthy, and the use of spells.
