The ladies of the Cumberland Scrapbook Crop
are welcoming an eccentric newbie into their fold.
A self-proclaimed witch, Cookie Crandall can whip up a
sumptuous vegan meal and rhapsodize about runes
and moon phases with equal aplomb. She becomes fast
friends with her fellow scrapbookers, including freelance
reporter Annie, with whom she shares shallow roots in a
community of established family trees.
So when Cookie becomes the prime suspect in a series
of bizarre murders, the croppers get scrappy
and set out to clear her name . . .
Annie starts digging and discovers that the victims each
had strange runic patterns carved on their bodies—a
piece of evidence that points the police in Cookie’s
direction. Even her friends begin to doubt her innocence
when they find an ornate, spiritual scrapbook that an
alleged beginner like Cookie could never have crafted.
As Annie and the croppers search for answers, they’ll
uncover a shockingly wicked side of their once quiet
town—and a killer on the prowl for another victim . . .
