Trouble Down Under Series

Hey guys, I'm Kat Crowe, and I wanna tell you about the time I spent in California which ended abruptly when someone was murdered in my store.    Maybe moving out west from Arkansas wasn't the best move. But before everything went south, I had a lot of fun tending my magical plants and catching some waves in my spare time. I never imagined things could go so wrong. Or that I'd find myself caught up in a mystery where everyone was a suspect.   Now I don't think of myself as an amateur sleuth, but there was no getting around the fact that I had skin in the game. So it was up to me to crack the case, or my life would be left in ruins. I'd love to tell y'all who did it… but you'll have to read the book to find out!   If you enjoy paranormal cozy mysteries with a horticultural twist, this introductory story for Trouble Down Under should be just the ticket.  

A dead seer who didn't see it coming. A trip halfway across the world. A hex to outrun.   Kat is at a crossroads in life. Nursing a broken heart at the Crowe ancestral home after a recent break-up, a series of accidents plagues her—and she doesn't believe in coincidences. When the family learns of Great Aunt Tabby's death all the way in Australia, Kat struggles to reconcile why the seer hadn't given them forewarning.   To figure out why—and put some distance between herself and bad juju—Kat volunteers to see to Aunt Tabby's affairs in person and ensure magical family heirlooms don't fall into the wrong hands. No sooner as she hits the tarmac Down Under, she stumbles at the first hurdle. The heirlooms are gone. Convinced of a more sinister explanation to her aunt's death, Kat must launch her own investigation in a foreign country armed only with green magic and gumption.

Half the town has written the man off as dead in Australia's harsh bushlands, but Kat is certain he's still alive.   Up against the clock, Kat must work fast to establish the cause of the magical disturbance and what the heck it had to do with Steve before exposure to unseasonal heat made his death inevitable.
