But looks can be very deceiving.
In the picture-perfect English village of Sunken-Madley, a young covert witch is laying low. Amanda Cadabra has her reasons.
Orphaned when her family's van mysteriously plunged over a Cornish cliff many years before, Amanda is keeping herself to herself, quietly working for her grandfather's furniture restoration company, hoping the world will leave her alone.
However, soon Amanda's peace is disturbed by the arrival in the village of the inquisitive Inspector Trelawney, dogging her footsteps as he investigates the strange fate of her family. But the persistent detective becomes the least of her problems, as a restoration job at the Tudor manor propels the young witch into a swirl of mystery and intrigue.
Events quickly conspire to drag Amanda into the building's murky past and its even more dangerous present. Armed only with her wits, her grumpy feline familiar, Tempest, and a wand, Amanda Cadabra is going in.
