The first in a brand new fantasy series from Waterstones Book of the Month author Annaliese Avery. Murder She Invoked follows Mia, a young hedge witch who takes a new job in the sleepy town of Helm Harbour, only to discover her predecessor was murdered - and she might be next.

Running away from a failed marriage in the city, young hedge witch Mia Underwood takes a job in the sleepy coastal town of Helm Harbour. She's looking for a fresh start, some peace and quiet, absolutely no romance, and the chance to finish writing her latest book. But Mia soon discovers that along with inheriting the town's hedge witch business, she has also inherited a murder - that of her predecessor. With everyone a suspect, can Mia and her sweary blackbird Pip (just don't call her an f***ing familiar) find the murderer in time?

Pull up a bar stool at the Seagull Tavern, browse the shelves with the Hootling librarian, and join Mia as she tries to put heartbreak behind her, and solve a murder.

For fans of LEGENDS AND LATTES , THE HONEY WITCH, and THE WYCHERLEYS.
