One Potion in the Grave



Summer has come to Hitching Post, Alabama, the official wedding capital of the South, but the living isn't necessarily easy. That's what white witch Carly Hartwell, owner of the Little Shop of Potions, is finding. *The* wedding of the summer is happening at her mother's chapel, Without a Hitch, when Landry Calhoun, eldest son of U.S. Senator Warren Calhoun, will marry Southern belle, Isabella Shealy. But the parade of guests coming through her shop has Carly tied into knots.

First there's her old school chum Katie Sue Perrywinkle. Now Kathryn Perry, Katie has returned to Hitching Post after a ten year absence. Her vow--to stop the Calhoun wedding. Next comes Isabella Shealy. Carly suspects perhaps she'd like a potion to calm her pre-wedding jitters. But in fact Isabella wants a love potion--one to make her future groom love her. Finally there's her cousin, Delia, who warns Carly her mother is coming to town--just in time for the harvesting of the Leilara tears. Carly knows that's no coincidence. She must harvest the tears to make her potions work--and she must do it in the utmost secret.

While Carly is scouting out the path to collect the Leilara tears, she stumbles across Katie Sue's dead body. And now she must figure out who killed her childhood friend...and why.
