In the village of Castle Farthing a mean-spirited, spiteful, curmudgeonly old man is found drugged and strangled in the kitchen of his cottage, with no obvious clues to the perpetrator of the crime.

DI Falconer and Acting DS Carmichael are summoned from the police headquarters in the nearby town of Market Darley and begin to uncover a web of grudges against the old man and a sea of familial connections between those who knew him.

As the heat of July continues relentlessly, tempers flare, disturbing the usual rural calm of the village, and the normally imperturbable Harry Falconer. Faced with a crime with no obvious prime suspect and the idiosyncrasies of his new partner, Carmichael, is he gradually losing his grip on the case as the body count rises?

What Readers are saying:

????? “Top notch mystery. This was a complicated, unique and excellent paranormal mystery. The series seems a nice mixture of fantasy and cozy mystery with a few gritty characters yet it’s not dark and depressing like some fantasy paranormal books. I really loved these characters and it’s only the first book. The authors are excellent at creating that connection between the reader and the heroine that makes a story not just good but great.” —Amazon review

????? “It had me hooked pretty much from the beginning and I absolutely did not see the ending coming. After finishing it, I immediately bought the next one and began reading it. I had to see what happened next. The heroine, Elle, is an enchantress and insurance investigator, who’s hired for a case involving a stolen piece of art and things become interesting. This is a very well written book, with interesting well-rounded characters. The action is fast-paced and I particularly enjoyed it being set in Edinburgh. If you like your female heroines to be able to think for themselves and take care of themselves, without being too perfect or one-dimensional, then this is definitely a must read for you.” —Amazon review

????? “I love the fact the main character is a witch that not only has a great amount of self control, but she also has compassion, wisdom and humility. She’s just like a normal person, doing the best she can and questioning herself in her personal life while solving a mystery. Which makes her totally believable and letting me get lost in the story. I was so sad when it was over. I’m really looking forward to more in this series. Very elegantly written!” —Amazon review

????? “Eve Paludan and Stuart Sharp brought characters to life that I could see in my mind’s eye. From the handsome Niall, the beautiful Elle, intense Evert, and cold but stunning Rebecca. This is a story of witches, warlocks and other magical creatures. There is enough magic, romance and action in this book to keep you enchanted and wanting more!” —Amazon review

????? “I loved this book! I found it hard to put down for those necessary evils of work and sleep. I just loved watching Elle become the enchantress she is, and seeing how her and Niall’s lives go together. It took a lot of different ideas about magic, witches, fairies, goblins and wove them in a way that was different from a lot of other books. I enjoyed this story so much that I had to go read books two and three!” —Amazon review
