A Brew for Chaos

Still coming to terms with her mermaid heritage, Alex Daniels gets pulled into solving a puzzling serial killer cold case. Working at her aunt's enchanted herbal apothecary in a charming beach town during cozy fall, she finds herself drawn into this magical cozy mystery, the third book in the Enchanted Bay Mystery series.
Aleksandra Daniels is settling into her new home in Bellamy Bay, North Carolina. She loves her apothecary job, and is enjoying getting to know her boyfriend, local detective Jack Frazier. But she's still trying to figure out her magical powers.
Leaves are changing, pumpkins are being picked, and the small coastal town is caught in the excitement of the approaching Oktoberfest. Alex's friend Pepper is more excited by the anniversary of a cold case she's helping her boss, Jonah, investigate. In the eighties, a serial killer abducted ten local women and was never caught, the women never seen again.
Pepper asks Alex for help, but she's done solving mysteries. She'd rather be with Jack sharing apple cider. That won't happen if she keeps meddling in his investigations.
When Jonah's body is found on the beach, Alex is forced to reconsider. Soon she's caught in a plot that places her life and the lives of everyone she loves in terrible danger.
An intricately plotted, quirky and charming book that gives you an enticing genre-blend of cozy mystery, contemporary fantasy and a hint of sci-fi. Fans of Esme Addison's An Intrigue of Witches as well as Iris Beaglehole, Amanda Flower and Ellery Adams shouldn't miss this "enchanting read" (Kirkus Reviews).
