Potion Sickness (Wardwell Witch Cozy Mysteries Book 2)
About
The show must go on. The leading man, however, is unconscious.
Mari Wardwell came back home to Duskboro, just for the summer… at least that’s what she keeps telling herself. Now summer is winding down and she has a freelance gig, a growing soft spot for the local funeral director, and a talking cat who just appointed himself head dramaturg of the Duskboro Players’ inaugural production of Macbeth.
What could go wrong? It’s not like the play is famously cursed or anything.
When Damien Carter – Broadway veteran and daytime TV legend – collapses mid-rehearsal into a sleep no doctor can explain, of course everyone thinks of the curse.
Mari knows better. Someone is to blame.
With whispers of backstage romance, an understudy hungry for the spotlight, and a director whose marriage just hit the tabloids, the suspect list is longer than the second act.
Alongside a sharp-nosed apothecary witch, a larcenous raccoon, and an eight-year-old investigator with a very thorough evidence log, Mari must unmask a poisoner, save a sold-out opening night, and keep her cat off the stage – because he knows every line of the Scottish play, and he is ready for his close-up.
Places, everyone – something wicked this way comes.
