About this listen
Evi Hutchison came to Stoney Fork to claim a dusty inheritance—not a haunted shop, a mystery-loving ghost, and a whole coven of secrets.
When down-on-her-luck blogger, Evi, inherits her great-aunt’s quirky herbal apothecary in the charming mountain town of Stoney Fork, she’s hoping for peace, quiet, and maybe a little peppermint tea. Instead, she finds a ghost with opinions, a magical ledger that whispers, and a suspicious death no one’s talking about.
Aunt Lizzie’s passing doesn’t feel natural—and neither does the way this sleepy town seems to be hiding something. With a grumpy familiar, a haunted ledger, and a spectral sidekick with unresolved business, Evi gets dragged into a murder mystery tangled in magic, mayhem, and peppermint bark.
Now she has to unearth the truth before the killer claims another life—and before the ghost in her attic gets too comfortable on the couch.
Perfect for fans of cozy witches, haunted shops, magical mysteries, found family, and snarky sleuths with a heart of gold.
Book 1 of the Cryptoarcanum Cozy Mysteries will charm your socks off—and hex your heart just a little.
