About this ebook

When a celebrated author comes to town, murder isn’t far behind.

It’s summertime at the Oregon Coast, and reluctant medium Suri Mudge finally has the calm and steady life she’s dreamed of. Her teahouse/bookshop is profitable, and her relationship with a handsome firefighter is better than ever. She’s making peace with her chronic pain and even the ghosts are behaving themselves. But nothing goes smoothly for Suri for long.

Popular author Corrie Cask causes a stir when she comes to Grady to finish her latest book. A quiet nook inside Suri’s bookshop seems made for a writer in residence, but not all of the author’s eager fans are benign. Before Suri knows it, her place of business is a crime scene. Again.

But this is no ordinary murder. Something sinister has arrived in the little coastal town. In the midst of a fraught mayoral election and a chaotic surfing competition, can Suri unmask the killer before they strike again?

Poison Pen is the fifth book in the Haunted Coast paranormal cozy mystery series, set in the same universe as the Rune Witch urban fantasy books.
