The Spellbound Apothecary Murder: A Willowmere Mystery Book One in the Willowmere Mystery Series

In the enchanted village of Willowmere, potions can cure any ailment—except murder.

Elara Thornwood’s apothecary has always been a place of healing, not harm. But when she discovers the village enchantress dead in her own garden, clutching one of Elara’s potion vials, her quiet life shatters.

With the Magical Constabulary’s investigator Finnian Blackwood watching her every move, Elara has no choice but to solve the murder herself—or spend the rest of her days brewing remedies behind bars.

A deadly conspiracy. A village full of secrets. And a cat who has opinions about everything.

As Elara and Finnian dig deeper into Willowmere’s secrets, they uncover a conspiracy that stretches back decades, threatening everyone Elara holds dear. With her sarcastic familiar Pippin offering commentary and her reputation on the line, Elara must prove that the real killer is hiding in plain sight—before they strike again.

Perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes, The Thursday Murder Club, and anyone who believes the best mysteries come with a side of magic.
