Baker Katie Lightfoot needs a sprinkle of magic to solve a haunting mystery in the newest book in this New York Times bestselling series.

Hedgewitch Katie Lightfoot works at the Honeybee Bakery in Savannah, and she's always up for investigating her adopted home's rich supernatural history. That's why she's taking a ghost tour for the very first time. But when the psychic tour guide tells Katie that she's being followed by the ghost of a recently murdered woman, Katie realizes she met the victim earlier that day, just before she died. She knows she must bring the killer to justice.

And this murder isn't the only mystery Katie needs to solve. Her new husband, Declan McCarthy, is missing the guardian spirit who always watched over him, and she's concerned that Deck's life could be at risk if they can't find him. Under pressure from the living and the dead, Katie will have to use all of her magical skills to start an investigation from scratch and avoid half-baked alibis, because this baker kneads to find a killer.

Bailey Cates

In a genre where the ordinary meets the otherworldly, Bailey Cates stirs her mysteries with a spoonful of sugar and a dash of spellcraft. Best known for the Magical Bakery Mysteries, Cates invites readers into the warm, cinnamon-scented heart of Savannah, Georgia, where her heroine Katie Lightfoot bakes enchanted treats and solves cozy crimes with the help of a local coven. These books aren't just charming whodunits—they're comfort food for the soul, laced with just enough magic to make readers believe the world might be more enchanted than it seems.

Behind the pseudonym is Cricket McRae, a lifelong crafter and former soapmaker who’s just as hands-on with her characters’ hobbies as she is in real life. Before conjuring up fictional witches, she ran her own handcrafted business and worked jobs as varied as driver’s license examiner, bookseller, and software project manager—roles that brought her everywhere from small-town America to the tech halls of Microsoft. That eclectic background bubbles beneath the surface of her writing, adding texture and authenticity to her characters’ lives.

Whether she's writing as Bailey Cates or Bailey Cattrell (her other pen name for the Enchanted Garden Mysteries), her stories are steeped in community, nature, and a gentle belief in the unseen. A Colorado resident by way of the American West, Cates draws on her surroundings—and her deep affection for kitchen witchery and small-town intrigue—to craft mysteries that feel as nourishing as a slice of warm pie on a rainy afternoon.

For readers who love magical realism with their muffins and mysteries in their tea leaves, Bailey Cates has become a trusted name—offering a literary escape where spells are cast with kindness, and justice is served on a vintage china plate.
