A soldier's spirit trapped in his decrepit manor house begs for help. A ghostly beast returns from the past to haunt the Dark Mire. Is death stalking Misty Valley?

April and her friends are called to a spooky mansion in the Dark Mire. A centuries-old murder has been simmering, waiting for someone to take the lid off the truth. A fortune is at stake, but forces neither Ebrel nor Punkin want to face are haunting the mire, looking for another victim.

In Misty Valley, real estate tycoons descend on the valley, eager to snatch land, and make deals. The upcoming Grand Prix is spurring development in the magical valley. An unexpected visitor from April's past complicates her Fae heritage and the investigation into the ghostly hound prowling the mire.

Unfortunately, Ebrel discovers a twist in her magic training – one that may cause major, unintended destruction.

Can Ebrel, Elain, and their friends discover who killed the ghost of the mansion, and stop the murderer before it kills again? All with April's magic severely limited as she faces another major crisis?

Coffee Grounds and Ghostly Hounds is the next instalment in the delightful Mystic Brews cozy mystery series. If you like sassy heroines, colorful characters, and a side of spells with your cuppa joe, then you’ll love Alyn Troy’s otherworldly adventure.
