Legacy of the Witch

A holiday tradition turns deadly, but is the paranormal museum to blame? Maddie Kosloski is no fan of San Benedetto's Christmas Cow, a thirty-foot straw bovine that graces the town square every December. For one thing, the cow displaces her paranormal museum as the number one tourist attraction. Plus, every year, despite around-the-clock surveillance, the cow goes up in flames. But this year, there's more than just a fire blazing in Maddie's wine-country hometown. One of the Christmas Cow guards has been found with an arrow in his chest, and Maddie's new haunted cowbell exhibit is fueling a panic. Are the spirits in her museum getting too hot to handle? If Maddie can't stop the hysteria—and the murderous archer—her holiday plans might not be the only thing full of holes. "Weiss' many quirky ongoing characters add charm and humor."—Kirkus Reviews "The third volume in this engaging series (following Pressed to Death) will appeal to fans of paranormal cozies by Sofie Kelly and Christy Fifield."—Library Journal "A body unearthed by rains on the abbey grounds further pulls Ali’s family into the dark mystery...and draws Ali to the brink of her own sanity. This is Scottish author McPherson’s sixth stand-alone novel. She’s been a finalist for both the Agatha Christie and Mary Higgins Clark award.
