Milestones, Magic and Murder: Book 1 (Witchy at Fifty cozy mystery) by Bella Colby

Losing your home and your husband on your 50th birthday is bad. Gaining a mysterious mansion, magical powers, and a dead body? Now that's murder. Josie Appleton is reeling from one hex of a midlife crisis. Blindsided and broke, an unexpected inheritance from the grandmother she never met seems a lifeline. Until Josie discovers the sprawling manor comes with latent magical powers, a sassy talking cat, and… oh yeah… the greenhouse is home to a corpse. Forced to dig deep to clear her name for a murder she didn't commit, Josie must juggle hot flushes, unruly spells, and a detective who's itching to slap on the cuffs.

Can Josie conjure up her newfound magic and amateur sleuthing skills to unearth the truth before she becomes the next victim? Read more
