Tucked away in a genteel, rural hamlet, a coven of witches is the last thing you'd expect to find.

But these modern-day witches are more into tarot and social media than toil and trouble - except for their ongoing feud with a prominent historian who claims the witch trials were a hoax.

When the historian turns up dead and the witches become the prime suspects, medium-cum-detective Claire wants to solve the case and clear their names.

In this small village, secrets and spirits abound. Can Claire separate the black magic from white lies?

Alice Bell has somehow done it again, the weirdo. This is possibly Claire and company's best mystery yet - spellbinding and hilarious -- Antony Johnston, author of CAN YOU SOLVE THE MURDER
I love Alice's books. She's funny, inventive and tells a brilliant story -- Ian Moore, author of DEATH AND CROISSANTS
I love the way Alice Bell grabs the whole murder mystery genre and turns into something archaic, spooky and laugh-out-loud funny; a joyously chaotic collision of sleuth and ghost hunter with a good sprinkle of Bridget Jones -- JM Hall, author of A SPOONFUL OF MURDER
An absolute riot. I adore Alice Bell and this take on witchcraft was so much fun. I thought it was a delightful, subversive modern mystery with all my favourite characters - a triumph! -- Heather Darwent, author of THE THINGS WE DO TO OUR FRIENDS
