Two witches, one haunted house . and a dash of murder. Will Lucy find the killer in time? Or will she be Buttercup’s next resident ghost?

It’s Halloween in Buttercup, Texas, and reporter-turned-farmer Lucy Resnick is up to her ears in more than goats and wayward cows. Not merely has her well dry out, but it turns out the aged house Lucy recently moved to includes a status for spooks . . . and they are disturbingly active. Then a tarot cards reading at an area mead winery foretells death . . . and minutes later on, exotic game ranch owner Insect Wharton goes belly-up. Reason behind death? Murder, with a fatal dose of bee venom.

When the dimwitted sheriff fingers local witch and mead winery owner Serafine Alexandre, Lucy gets involved . . . and quickly discovers that all kinds of things are brewing in Buttercup.

And some of them are deadly.
