Kailyn wants to help, but she’s also got her hands full with the curmudgeonly Merlin, who’s not exactly maintaining a low profile.

A fun and entertaining page turner.”—Rose Pressey, USA Today bestselling author

Yes, that Merlin—though he gets introduced to folks as her “distant English cousin.” The wizard is pretty grumpy about being transported here, but there are things about the modern world he doesn’t mind—like pizza.Kailyn was prepared for a heated debate about the hotel, but she wasn’t expecting murder.

She plans to crack this case, even if she has to talk to every living soul in town—plus a few departed ones . . . “Pape has a sure-handed balance of humor and action.” —Julie Hyzy,  New York Times bestselling author
