What starts as a simple Sunday morning for Twizzle Twist quickly turns into a chilling discovery—the body of a Hollywood starlet floating in the bay. With several of the actress's enemies having ties to St. Maurice, the list of suspects grows as everyone seems to have a motive. But who really shot the movie star in the back?
As Twizzle grapples with this unsettling mystery, her personal and professional life faces mounting pressure. Encouraged to run for office, she sees a chance to save the beloved pier if she can win the election in the fall. However, just when she thinks she’s got a handle on things, her business encounters an unexpected kink that forces her to make choices she never wanted to face.
To complicate matters further, the intimidating weresharks make Twiz an offer she finds hard to decline, and her friend Mort's mini-dragon poker game adds to her growing list of distractions. Twizzle is thrust into a tempest of challenges as she races to uncover the truth behind the murder before the mundane celebrity press arrives en masse, threatening to expose St. Mo’s magical secrets.
Can Twizzle navigate the treacherous waters of mystery and politics? Will she solve the murder and keep her professional life afloat in the process?
Dive into another exciting installment of the Pixie Twist cozy mystery series, where fun fae characters, twisted intrigues, and snarky humor come together for a magical reading experience!
Alyn Troy is an American from the Midwest (Indiana) who writes The Mystic Brews and Pixie Twist series of Paranormal Cozy Mysteries. In addition to Indiana, he's lived in Southern California, where the Pixie Twist series is set, and has served as a history docent on a notable pier in SoCal. In his past lives, he's been a journalist, a wedding photographer, and an adjunct professor.
Alyn gets assistance from his fuzzy familiar (AKA "Lord Fuzzbutt"). When not helping his human with the writing of paranormal cozy mysteries, Lord Fuzzbutt likes to sit out outside and watch the hummingbirds dart about like pixies. He often yowls at the door, waiting to head to the patio for chipmunk duty. Fortunately, the little rodents are craftier than Fuzzbutt is.
Alyn's beverage of choice is dark roast coffee with a dash of honey, and a splash of half-n-half. In addition to being half-way competent with his home espresso machine, Alyn makes a mean Mai Tai.
