Synopsis

Katie Lightfoot bakes with a little magic in Savannah, Georgia. When a film crew arrives in the historic district to shoot a Revolutionary War movie, her witches' coven, the Spellbook Club, trades its spellcasting for casting calls. One of the witches wins a part as an extra, and Katie's boyfriend Declan, a firefighter, works security on the set.

Katie and her aunt Lucy plan to keep clear of the production. That changes when the movie's fixer fires the caterer and the Honeybee Bakery steps in to feed the hungry crew, with a little magic helping the work along.

Then the fixer is murdered. A psychic with an eerie manner tells Katie she will be the one to find the killer. Katie and her fellow witches begin sorting through the suspects among the cast and crew, aware that the killer may not be finished.

This is a cozy mystery with a paranormal streak, set among bakers and witches against a film-set backdrop. It belongs to a series about Katie and the Honeybee Bakery, and the tone stays light and playful even with a death at the centre.
