Rum and diet coke isn’t the only thing on the rocks in Sunnyland… Fresh off solving her first murder, 42-year-old Vanessa is settling in as a bookstore owner and fledgling witch. But just when things with Hot Cop Alex are finally starting to sizzle, the town psychic turns up dead, and Vanessa’s beloved assistant River is hauled off to jail for the murder. Which is ridiculous! River can’t even stand the thought of a cut-flower dying in vain. But with all the evidence pointing River’s way, Vanessa decides it’s time to bring the Murder Board out of retirement and find the real killer herself. The Board fills up a rival psychic, an unpaid landlord, and Peter Pixley, town leader with an anger problem. Too bad Vanessa has to stay on Peter’s good side, since he will decide whether her skills are strong enough to join the Sunnyland Magical Society. This isn’t just a social club – if she doesn’t meet their standards, they will confiscate her magic ring. Spoiler Vanessa’s magic still sucks, as Mrs. Fuzzybottoms (her cat and magic coach) is always quick to point out. The smart move would be to get on Peter’s good side, but … let’s just say the dead psychic isn’t the only middle-aged woman who’s been getting on Peter’s nerves. But Vanessa is no quitter. She’s not about to leave River rotting in jail while the real killer runs loose in Sunnyland any more than she would let a little struggle to magic away cat poop wreck her chance to become a real witch. Can Vanessa master her skills as a sleuth and witch fast enough to save River and her ring, or will everything she’s been working for be dashed on the rocks? *** Wrong Kind of On the Rocks is the second book in the Murder at Midlife series. If you like witty female sleuths, judgmental cat familiars, friendly small towns with secrets (both magical and murderous), and sweet slow-burn romance, you will love these magical cozy mysteries.
