A Witch Before Dying

Darcy Merriweather is the newest resident Wishcrafter, a witch who can grant wishes for others. She cannot grant wishes for herself, but she does possess a knack for solving problems, including the occasional murder.

When Darcy is hired by Elodie Keaton to clean up her missing mother's disorderly home, she is up for the task. After all, the motto of her Aunt Ve's personal concierge service As You Wish is No Job Impossible. But beneath the piles of old newspapers and knickknacks Darcy discovers something far more disturbing: Patrice Keaton's body.

Determined to give Elodie peace of mind, Darcy investigates the disappearance and death. Patrice was last seen more than a year ago after a fight with her Charmcrafter boyfriend. Was her murder a crime of passion, or were her troubles caused by the Anicula, a wish-granting amulet? Darcy has to find both a killer and the Anicula, before the power of ultimate wish fulfillment falls into the wrong hands.
