A Hint of Mischief

By Daryl Wood Gerber

Book Overview

From Agatha Award-winning author Daryl Wood Gerber, the third in an enchantingly whimsical series featuring Courtney Kelly, the owner of a fairy-gardening and tea shop in Carmel, California. It's a special place brimming with good vibes and the kind of magical assistance its proprietor will need to prepare for an old sorority sister's birthday bash awhile solving a puzzling murder!

Courtney has thrown a few fairy garden parties--for kids. But if a local socialite is willing to dip into her trust fund for an old sorority sister's fortieth birthday bash, Courtney will be there with bells on. To make the job even more appealing, a famous actress, Farrah Lawson, is flying in for the occasion, and there's nothing like a celebrity cameo to raise a business's profile.

Now Courtney has less than two weeks to paint a mural, hang up tinkling windchimes, plan party games, and conjure up all the details. While she works her magic, the hostess and her girlfriends head off for an indulgent spa day--which leads to a fateful facial for Farrah, followed by her mysterious death. Could the kindhearted eyebrow waxer who Farrah berated in public really be the killer, as the police suspect? Courtney thinks otherwise, and with the help of her imaginative sleuth fairy, sets out to dig up the truth behind this puzzling murder . . .

Customer Reviews

great series

This series of novels are so good! Well-written so they are an easy read, positive energy with characters and the crime is not overly written so it is not gorey or overly graphic. The author obviously likes cats so no animals have been harmed in these novels, and she obviously does research about fairies and fairy gardens and talks about them well. It is just a great series for any teen to adult to enjoy.
