The Tabitha Chase Days of the Week Mysteries
A dead witch. A seaside town full of secrets. And a no-nonsense realtor about to uncover more than she bargained for…
Tabitha Chase doesn’t believe in magic. She believes in logic, real estate, and keeping her life as organized as a color-coded spreadsheet. But when she inherits her aunt’s crumbling houseboat in quirky Crystal Cove, she finds more than peeling paint and unfinished paperwork—she finds a dead body in the road... and a cat who talks.
Now, with suspicion hanging over her and a growing list of magical townsfolk whispering behind her back, Tabby must team up with a charming forensics expert, a skeptical detective, and her late aunt’s psychic cat (who insists on wearing glasses) to clear her name and uncover the truth.
But in a town where not everything is as it seems—and not everyone is as human as they look—Tabby’s biggest challenge might be believing in the impossible.
If you love witty sleuths, small-town charm, and a pinch of paranormal mischief, you’ll feel right at home in Crystal Cove.
✨ Perfect for fans of Murder, She Wrote, Death in Paradise, and magical mysteries with heart.
A seaside town selling the supernatural, a fun-fair ride with a deadly twist, and a realtor-turned-sleuth rediscovering her purpose.
Tabby is settling into Crystal Cove, Oregon, and her new home on a magic-infused houseboat when the summer fair comes to town. She and her newly inherited cat, Sherlock, operate the coffee truck while screams of excitement erupt from nearby rides. Soon the fun screams turn to shrieks of horror when a dead body is discovered on one of the rides, and Tabby may be the only one who can help her detective friends figure out how it got there.
Apparently, Crystal Cove has no shortage of secrets or murders. Will Tabby’s unique insight and gifting help her see through the town’s shroud of illusions? Order now to find out!
An upset at the Harvest Festival , a Fright Night fundraiser with a deadly twist, and a realtor-turned-sleuth caught in the middle of both.
Tabby is finally ready to go on a casual fun date with Detective Jay Jameson at the local church’s Harvest Festival, but her witch friends are holding their Fright Night fundraiser that same night. She feels caught in the middle of a long-standing quarrel between the two groups, especially when a dead body shows up at the center of it all.
As blame-shifting grows, will Tabby be able to figure out who is responsible for the corpse while keeping all of her friendships intact?

A winter solstice festival, a dangerous high-wire act, and a premeditated murder.
Tabby is excited for the winter solstice festival, where she plans to gently introduce her little sister to the magic of Crystal Cove. But when the local witches act evasive rather than friendly, and when one of them falls to her death from a high-wire act that appears to have been rigged, Tabby has no choice but to give her sister a crash course in magic-led sleuthing.
All clues lead to a surprising suspect, but when it appears this death could be connected to a long-ago tragedy, Tabby may be too emotionally involved to see past the shroud of illusions.
Will she be able to harness her gifting and catch the killer?

It’s springtime, and Tabby figures what better way to unite the town of Crystal Cove than creating a community garden!
The problem is, she knows nothing about tending the earth. However, there are several folks in town who have strong beliefs in how to start a garden right—unfortunately, all of these strong beliefs seem to disagree with one another.
Tabby thinks she has it handled when she comes up with a system that makes each group of gardeners feel valued in their plans and opinions, but when one of the most opinionated women turns up dead in the middle of the fresh soil, it seems she has another murder on her hands—and one she feels at least partially responsible for.
Join Tabby, Jay, Aaron, and Sherlock as they investigate and try to get to the bottom of this garden tragedy.
