Romance, treasure and danger collide in the charming coastal town of Twilight Cove. Don't miss the newest instalment in USA Today bestselling author Sarah Fox's enchanting Magical Menagerie mystery series!
"For a small seaside town, Twilight Cove sure has plenty of excitement . . ."
Georgie Johansen's return to the coastal haven of Twilight Cove has been a dream come true: she gets to work with Auntie O at the animal sanctuary, has adopted two very adorable dogs who have very special abilities and even has a blossoming romance with the gorgeous farmhand Callum.
It's August and the town is buzzing with anticipation for the annual Dead Eye Days pirate festival. The excitement reaches a fever pitch when long-term resident Jasper, a pirate fanatic, declares he is in possession of a treasure map!
However, the hunt for treasure soon becomes a hunt for a murderer when Jasper is found dead, and Georgie is once again compelled to put on her sleuthing hat. With her extraordinary dogs Flossie and Fancy beside her, and Euclid, the mysterious great-horned owl, keeping a watchful eye on them, can she uncover the killer and protect Twilight Cove? Or will her curiosity put a bounty on her own head?
This delightful cozy mystery series with a magical twist is perfect for fans of Sofie Kelly, Amanda Flowers, Wendy Corsi Staub and Gretchen Rue!

      A pirate fan bites the dust in the run-up to an Oregon buccaneer festival. Nobody's more excited about Dead Eye Days--Twilight Cove's tribute to 18th-century pirate Dead Eye Dawson, the town's most notorious bad guy--than Jasper Hogan. He even wears his pirate duds to a meeting of the festival's planning committee, putting him almost literally at swords' points with history buff Flynn Smith-Wu, who insists that no pirate ever made it as far up the Oregon coast as Twilight Cove. But Jasper never makes it to the festival. When fellow committee member Georgie Johansen goes to check on him a short time before the big day, she finds him in his study lying in a pool of blood. Naturally, Georgie wants to help the police find the killer, and until she does, her time is divided equally between sleuthing and wondering whether her boyfriend, pro baseballer Callum McQuade, really likes her. (Spoiler alert: He does.) Fox gives Georgie everything a cozy armchair detective needs, and then some. In addition to a quaint seacoast hometown and an animal sanctuary she runs with her aunt, Georgie has two rescue spaniels with supernatural powers, an owl, a kitten, and a talkative parrot who used to belong to Jasper. The magical mutts don't add much pizzaz to the mystery, which ends very much as busybody cozies end. The parrot is pretty amusing, though. Yo ho ho, but no bottle of rum.

      Georgie Johansen has had enough of frenetic L.A. and moves to Twilight Cove, where her beloved Aunt Olivia lives. Having spent time in the town, Georgie thinks it will suit her just fine--and so will being close to handsome Callum, who helps out at Aunt Olivia's animal sanctuary. But the town also holds dark memories; the last time Georgie visited, she nearly died at the hands of a killer. Georgie has barely arrived in town when local eccentric Jasper Hogan claims he has an authentic treasure map showing where a chest of pirate's gold is buried. Shortly after that, Jasper is found murdered, with the treasure map nowhere to be found. Georgie and her friend Tessa decide to find both Jasper's killer and the missing map. But even with the help of Georgie's two magically gifted dogs and Euclid, an owl who appears when Georgie needs help, the two amateur detectives hit dead end after dead end. A sort of modern-day Nancy Drew, Georgie will appeal to fans of that intrepid sleuth and to readers who enjoy a charming cozy full of unexpected surprises, romance, magic--and murder.
