THE WITCH AND THE DEAD by Heather Blake

Wishcraft #7

The Witch
and the Dead

The national bestselling author of Gone with the Witch returns as wish-granting witch Darcy Merriweather uncovers dangerous skeletons in the closetโ€”and the garage....

When Darcy moved to Salem, Massachusetts, she never expected her life to change as drastically as it did. But within a short time, the Enchanted Village has become her home, its mystical residents have become her family, and As You Wish, the personal concierge business formerly run by her Aunt Ve, has become her calling. Still, the time has come for changeโ€”and for Darcy to move out of Aunt Veโ€™s house.

Darcyโ€™s belongings are stashed in Aunt Veโ€™s garage, alongside a mess of memories, forgotten possessions, and, to both Ve and Darcyโ€™s horror, a pile of old bones. It turns out they belong to Veโ€™s long missing second husband. Now Darcy must unpack old secrets to solve a cold caseโ€”and make sure her aunt isnโ€™t looking at a spell behind bars.
