Witch Hunt



Charmed meets Murder, She Wrote in Cate Conte's new cozy mystery series featuring a spellbinding protagonist--the unwitting descendant of a long line of witches--who owns a crystal shop in her quaint Connecticut town.

Murder isn’t always crystal-clear . . . especially when the prime suspect discovers she’s a witch.
 
Violet Mooney owns The Full Moon crystal shop in quaint North Harbor, Connecticut. Still grieving her beloved grandmother’s recent unexpected death, she takes comfort in her fat orange cat Monty and her work. Not everyone in town is thrilled with her business, however. When disagreeable town councilwoman Carla Fernandez picks a fight over Violet’s "voodoo shop," the two have a very public confrontation. Of course, when Carla turns up dead, Violet gets little sympathy from the police as suspect #1.
 
But the shock of two policemen showing up at her door pales in comparison to the sudden appearance of her estranged mother Fiona and a surprise sister, Zoe. What Fiona reveals will rock her world and her sense of self—and reawaken her long-dormant mysterious power. Good thing. She’s gonna need it . . .

Praise for Witch Hunt

Praise for Cate Conte
"In a subgenre in which dialogue and character development typically take a back seat to ailurophilia, Conte's cat cafe series is eminently readable and often immersive."--Kirkus Reviews on Tell Tail Heart

"Like the best of its subgenre, Cat About Town achieves an intimacy of time, place, and people that immediately draws you in and makes you want to stay a while despite the inevitable crime(s) at hand. There's an undeniable comfort to Cate Conte's storytelling that will leave readers wanting--perhaps even kneading--more." --Criminal Element

"Conte's well-plotted novel with a host of likeable characters is a Valentine for any cat lover."--Best Friends Magazine on Cat About Town

"Cate Conte delivers a triumphant Purrder She Wrote, which lovingly straddles the conventions of the cozy genre while also practicing the subtle art of subversion. Both the whos and the whys are worthy of your time and attention, as is the welcoming backdrop against which these questions play out. Despite the inevitable cat-astrophes, the end result is a whole lot of fun--but with a generous and good-natured side scoop of frisky." --Criminal Element on Purrrder She Wrote
