About this ebook

It’s all hops and holidays until somebody’s murdered in the beer tank…

When Josie bursts into Selena’s shop with a sparkly new publicity idea — a craft brew competition to promote their small town of Globe, Arizona — Selena’s mind conjures up images of bearded hipsters in man buns descending upon her adopted hometown. She agrees to help, though her hunky husband Calvin might object to his six-months-pregnant wife adding even more tasks to a to-do list she’s been trying to delegate.

The High Country Holiday Brewing Competition transforms the old high school gym into a charming beer garden, and hopes are high the contest will boost Globe’s reputation. But the doors aren’t even open before one of the six competitors — the obnoxious and universally disliked Trent Reynolds — is found drowned in a fermentation tank. A tank that was supposed to be empty, only for show.

Desperate to salvage the situation, Josie begs Selena to use her psychic abilities to suss out the killer so the show can go on. But Selena has only twenty-four hours to filter the killer out of a long list of suspects. With her powers somewhat sketchy due to her pregnancy, the competition might be over before it even begins…and a cool killer could get away clean.

Ratings and reviews

This continues the story of Selena, now six months pregnant, and her shop, Once in a Blue Moon. Now, the High Country Brewing Competition is being planned by Josie, taking place in just five days. The day before the competition, one of the competitors is found floating in a vat. Josie expects Selena to find the murderer in 24 hours or less. Time for the Tarot cards, and interviewing ‘persons of [possible] interest’. After many false starts and dead ends, the Universe finally sends her the answer

Welcome back to Globe, Arizona, and The High-Country Brewing Competition. Unfortunately, one of the competitors was found drowned in a display Vat. Of course, the murderer must be found before the start of the competition but there is only a brief period to conduct such a feat. Enter our favourite hedgewitch -- none other than Selena Marx. Will Selena’s tarot cards and auras find the murderer in such a brief time? Will she succeed? The book is incredible and I highly recommend the book.
