A Double Shot of Ghosts

Two murders. Two ghosts. One sleepy Welsh village on the brink of supernatural chaos.

I thought hosting an acclaimed fae food critic at the café would be the highlight of the season. Instead, it exploded into a brew of death, magic, and the kind of trouble that can swallow an entire town.

First, the critic’s bitter rival turns up dead in a dark alley—just as my world-class barista friend from America arrives to help me dazzle the fae palate. Suddenly I’m juggling ghostly witnesses, an investigation that has the deceased demanding answers, and keeping the magic of Misty Valley carefully hidden from a very earthly visitor.

Before I can catch my breath, Black Bart’s pirate reunion throws our cozy village a double shot of mayhem—literally. A sailor winds up dead, and the suspects are either a salty new friend or an undead pirate risen from Davy Jones’ locker. At every turn, the magic twists into something more dangerous, and the line between spectral rumor and real threat begins to blur.

As bodies stack up and restless spirits edge closer, I have to race against time, hide the supernatural truth, and prove I can scorch the assassin before another deadly déjà-brew strikes. All while avoiding a local inspector who insists my American friend is the prime suspect—and keeping Punkin’s coffee-bean addiction from igniting a magical catastrophe of his own.

This isn’t just another cozy mystery.

Magic is stirring. Ghosts are restless. And the threat to Misty Valley is anything but polite.

A Double Shot of Ghosts is the thrilling third installment in the Mystic Brews Mysteries—a paranormal cozy mystery series blending high-stakes urban fantasy intrigue with snark, spells, and perfectly brewed justice.
