Publisher Description

She came for honey. She found murder.

When midlife innkeeper Amelia Matthews arrives to buy honey for her boyfriend's birthday party, she finds the beloved local beekeeper dead among her hives. The police call it a freak accident: a fatal bee sting. But Amelia's psychometric vision reveals something far more sinister: fear, betrayal, and murder.

Mary Carmichael's cryptic social media posts about "appropriation" suddenly take on new meaning. So do the protection tinctures she requested from her herbalist friend. And the mysterious writer who just checked into Amelia's inn — the one who'd been interviewing Mary for months — knows more than she's saying.

With her best friend Liz, Amelia uncovers a conspiracy involving stolen work, family betrayal, and pricey honey. But juggling a murder investigation with surprise party planning, a haunted linen closet that won't shut up, and the joys of perimenopause is trickier than any spell she's attempted.

And when the killer realizes Amelia's closing in on the truth, she discovers that stealing a woman's life's work is worth killing for, and killing for again.

Hungry Like the Hex is a cozy paranormal tale best described as Practical Magic meets Nancy Drew with a Scooby-Doo twist. Each book can be enjoyed as a standalone, but they're best savored from the beginning. Includes a recipe!
