Obituary Writer Finds Great-Aunt Did Not Go Peacefully

A divorced obituary writer who has typed “died peacefully” nine thousand times inherits her great-aunt’s house by a misty lake and discovers she can feel how the dead really died. Her aunt did not go peacefully.

At forty-six, newly divorced and parked on the obituary desk, Maeve Thorne comes to Hollowmere to sell a dead stranger’s house and inherits a sarcastic raven, a circle of secret-keeping women, and a gift for reading the last feeling of every death.

Practical Magic meets Murder, She Wrote.
