Magic Candle Shop Mystery

Twin sisters Tabby and Sage co-own a candle shop, but will it all go up in flames in Valona Jones' series debut, perfect for fans of Amanda Flower and Bailey Cates. 30-year-old fraternal twins Tabby and Sage Winslow own The Book and Candle Shop in Savannah. Sage is hot-headed and impulsive while Tabby is calm and collected, making them the perfect partnership. When one of their customers is found murdered, from a blow to the head, that partnership is put to the test. Blithe McAdam had been seen in a heated argument with shop clerk Gerard, which immediately makes him suspect number one. The twins are convinced of Gerard's innocence and start digging into Blithe's past. But no one is cooperating. The neighbor who found the body isn't talking, medical examiner Quig won't give any details about the autopsy, and nasty rumors begin surfacing about the drowning of Blithe's father years earlier-evidence that could seal Gerard's fate. Tabby and Sage dig desperately for the truth. But it's not only their friend who's in peril. With the clock ticking, the twins find themselves in the grip of an unseen and deadly energy that has seeped into their midst, and in the sights of a ruthless killer.

Tabby Winslow will help her twin sister Sage with anything and everything-and that includes putting out the flames of suspicion when Sage's boss is found murdered in this magical mystery, perfect for fans of Amanda Flower and Sofie Kelly. December in Savannah, Georgia, is a sight to behold. With all the festivities-including the traditional riverfront luminary display during the boat parade-twin sisters Tabby and Sage Winslow are busier than ever setting up for the big celebration. But that isn't the only thing on the sisters' minds. Both Sage and her fellow employee Mary Nicole are vying for the sought-after assistant manager job at the plant nursery. But when Loren Lee, their boss, is found dead, and Sage becomes the police's favorite suspect, both Winslow girls know that they'll need more than a flicker of magic and their sisterhood to solve the murder and clear Sage's name. Soon, Tabby realizes that this is just one of the many problems they have. If being a suspect for murder wasn't enough, there are more magical problems that they have to fix: Sage's boyfriend is having a paranormal experience of his own he can't control, there's an energy vampire searching for his supposedly lost cousin, her cat suddenly dislikes her, and oh-every time Tabby hiccups, she turns completely invisible. The suspect list grows with each day and it seems everyone has a reason or a connection to Loren Lee. Tabby and Sage are burning the candle at both ends-but will it be enough to keep their friends safe and find this killer? Or will they be burned by their efforts?

When a killer props his third and latest victim against the double tombstone of Tabby and Sage Winslow's grandparents' grave in Savannah, Georgia, the psychic twins are stunned. Even worse, the victim is the very man they filed a restraining order against a few months ago for trashing their book and candle shop. Coincidence...or a connection? Then a clue about the murders points to Tabby's career as a candlemaker. Now, she is the number one suspect in the killing spree. The twins investigate all three victims, finding little that might tie the cases together besides where the bodies were found-in or near Bonaventure Cemetery, a beautiful 100-acre historic graveyard with a storied past. Then Tabby's Medical Examiner boyfriend is mysteriously pulled from the case, with his dream job in jeopardy. The situation reaches a flashpoint when new evidence points to Tabby. With her freedom and the family business in jeopardy, Tabby and Sage match their wits and psychic abilities against the wily killer. That is, until Tabby's spirited inquiry lands her in the worst kind of trouble. Can Tabby clear her name before the fiend snuffs her flame…for good?
