When Evelyn Eldritch is struck by lightning, she gains more than just a shock to the system - she discovers she's a witch!
And if that wasn’t shocking enough, Evelyn is then blown away by the news that her long-lost mother has been murdered. With her trusty best friend by her side, Evelyn heads to the quaint village of Maiden-Upon-Avon - a community teeming with werewolves, witches, and vampires - oh my! But the icing on the cake? One handsome-yet-gruff policeman who has her heart racing faster than a boiling kettle.
Between juggling her mother's café, her magical training, and the eccentric residents of the village, Evelyn's got her hands full. And when another body turns up at the local cricket match, things go from bad to worse. With a growing suspect list and a series of magical mishaps, Evelyn starts to wonder if she's in over her pointed hat.
Infused with retro nostalgia and witty banter, Murder at Magic Cakes Café is a charming slice of magical England, layered with surprising twists and turns. So grab a cup of tea, snuggle up, and prepare to laugh your way through this electrifying tale.

I plan to write at least ten books in the series.
It started with a murder, as you would expect.
But before that, some magic. Pick a card, any card…
Senior witch Marilyn Eldritch sat at her favourite table in Magic Cakes Café, and drew a tarot card from her ancient deck. She laid down Death.
Oh no! Someone was going to die tonight! An ominous thunderclap rumbled overhead. Trying to still her nerves, Marilyn poured her favourite tipple into her coffee. As her mother Joanie always said: For a long life and a body frisky, forget the milk and add the whisky.
Marilyn sipped her Irish coffee, steeled herself, then laid down the next two tarot cards.
The Empress and the Page of Cups. Motherhood and children…
And Death?
She stared at the tarot cards. Perhaps this was an oblique reference to Leia, her young apprentice. Leia had left Marilyn’s sacred spell book lying around on the counter in front of a human customer earlier, and Marilyn planned to have a word with her about it tomorrow. But obviously she didn’t plan to kill her over it.
She added another dash of whisky to her coffee and took a gulp.
