When a gossip is silenced, the whole town has something to say.
Being Beacon Cove's magical protector was tough work?especially when you didn't know what you were doing. To bond with her new magical community, Evie Holloway agreed to attend the annual spring tea party. She hoped for scones, gossip, and maybe five minutes of peace. Instead, someone spiked the tea with a chaos potion. It was all fun and games until someone dropped dead in the tea...and the blame landed squarely on Lena, the tea shop owner and Evie's new friend.
The victim? Dorothy, the town's most notorious gossipmonger and newspaper reporter. With dirt on nearly everyone and a poisonous pen to match, she had no shortage of enemies. And now, Evie had no shortage of suspects.
Evie knows that Lena is innocent. It's a race against time to find evidence that proves that, or Lena will be arrested for a crime she didn't commit.
Between managing her explosive magic, dealing with a talking skunk familiar (who has no filter), and finding out the truth of her inheritance, Evie has her hands full. Add murder to the mix, and she's completely out of her depth.
With the whole town pointing fingers, secrets bubbling to the surface, and her friend's freedom on the line, Evie has to dig for the truth in a sea of lies before someone else turns up dead.
Can Evie find the truth buried in the fine print, or will Dorothy's secrets go with her to the grave?
