About this ebook

Welcome to Brimstone Bay—where the coffee’s strong, the gossip never sleeps, and the ghosts refuse to mind their own business.

When the traveling Shadow Festival rolls into town and a girl turns up dead, the seaside calm shatters overnight. Whispers turn to panic, secrets surface like driftwood, and a murder in the mist leaves everyone pointing fingers.

For River Halloway, a young journalist at the Brimstone Press, this isn’t just another headline—it’s the kind of story that could change everything. If she can survive it.

Between her eccentric housemates, a mischievous stray cat, and a town full of neighbors who can’t keep a secret to save their lives, River has her hands full. But beneath Brimstone Bay’s cozy charm, something ancient is stirring—and it’s about to make front-page news.

If you love clever mysteries, quirky characters, and a dash of magical mayhem, you’ll be spellbound by Murder Any Witch Way—book one of the Brimstone Bay Mysteries

Ratings and reviews

It wasn't bad, but the story was just kinda lame. Maybe I have just read better versions of a similar nature. Mainly it was difficult to care about any of characters. 7/10 stars.

(Seriously, they're like little fabric prisons!)

Hint: the dog wins.
