The Witch is Dead by Shirley Damsgaard

Tink is being haunted by “shadows” - her description of the wraiths that seek her out, hoping her burgeoning talent as a medium will assist them in their plights. Ophelia has happened upon a DEA agent she met during one of her off kilter murder investigations. Abbey is with them, at the airport, waiting for their Appalachian aunt Dot to arrive.

Over breakfast, Ophelia suffers a hangover from Dot’s spiked elderberry wine, Abbey regrets a little too much information told, Tink sleeps in and Dot hopes to get involved in a murder investigation. It’s a long historied family of varied paranormal talents. One farmhouse full of bubbling potential, so you know something is bound to happen.

Dreams continue to haunt Tink, giving clues to something they cannot yet understand, but when Tink disappears, they are all Ophelia (and crew) have to go on. Frustrated that they cannot find answers themselves, (a psychic glitch) they sleuth about and wind up uncovering quite the crime scheme before the signs they did receive, and misinterpreted, become as obvious as Aunt Dot’s faeries.

With the help of DEA Ethan, Ophelia solves the mystery, has a few incarceration’s added to her resume and learns to deeper listen... even if it’s to Aunt Dot.
