Witch Way Out - (A Full Moon Mystery) by Cate Conte (Paperback)
CHARMED meets MURDER, SHE WROTE in Cate Conte's latest Full Moon Mystery, as an unexpected death completely rocks the Spring Equinox Fair and it's up to crystal shop owner Violet Mooney to uncover the truth to settle the mayhem.
When Violet Mooney's coworker and fellow witch calls to say that their Connecticut crystals shop, The Full Moon, has been selected as a vendor at the Spring Equinox Fair, it's welcome news. Ever since she learned about her magickal ancestry, Violet has been struggling to learn her craft while staying out of trouble. It's no easy feat when her family seems to be the target of a power-grab within the realm, putting the entire magickal community on edge--and setting Violet on a mission . . .
With her investigation conjuring more questions than answers, Violet tries to focus on the Fair, which is being run by one of her personal heroes. Horatio Hale is a proponent of ethical crystal mining, but apparently not everyone is a fan. Violet is shocked when she goes to attend a meeting and finds Horatio dead--with an axe stuck in his chest. To uncover the motives behind the mayhem in both the mortal and magickal worlds, Violet is going to need more than a crystal ball. And it'll take all the powers she's been honing--plus some she didn't know she had--to save herself . . .
