About this ebook
Mag and Clara close up the shop, spell the minibus to drive across open water, and set up on a hidden stretch of Maine coast that nobody else can reach. One long weekend. Sun, sand, and absolutely no one else’s business.
The family who pitch a tent down the beach are far too charming to resent — s’mores, sea glass hunts, and two boys who remind the sisters exactly why they like this world.
By morning the tent is empty. No footprints. No struggle. No family.
Somewhere out here, two men are digging for a treasure that was buried a long time ago, and they have decided that witnesses are a problem.
A cozy magical mystery novella set directly after Murder Below the Waterline in the Mag and Clara Balefire Mysteries. Reads perfectly on its own. Clean and closed-door.
Perfect for readers who love:
• A minibus that drives on water • Vanishings with no footprints and no explanation • Witch sisters and their extremely capable familiars • Buried treasure on the Maine coast • A complete mystery in one sitting
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I was genuinely worried about that family. These two do tension better than they let on.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Cozy without being soft. The ending got me.”
