From Agatha Award-winning author Daryl Wood Gerber, the third in an enchantingly whimsical series featuring Courtney Kelly, the owner of a fairy-gardening and tea shop in Carmel, California. It's a special place brimming with good vibes and the kind of magical assistance its proprietor will need to prepare for an old sorority sister's birthday bash awhile solving a puzzling murder!
Courtney has thrown a few fairy garden parties—for kids. But if a local socialite is willing to dip into her trust fund for an old sorority sister's fortieth birthday bash, Courtney will be there with bells on. To make the job even more appealing, a famous actress, Farrah Lawson, is flying in for the occasion, and there's nothing like a celebrity cameo to raise a business's profile.

Now Courtney has less than two weeks to paint a mural, hang up tinkling windchimes, plan party games, and conjure up all the details. While she works her magic, the hostess and her girlfriends head off for an indulgent spa day—which leads to a fateful facial for Farrah, followed by her mysterious death. Could the kindhearted eyebrow waxer who Farrah berated in public really be the killer, as the police suspect? Courtney thinks otherwise, and with the help of her imaginative sleuth fairy, sets out to dig up the truth behind this puzzling murder . . .

      In Agatha winner Gerber’s captivating third Fairy Garden mystery (after 2021’s A Glimmer of a Clue), socialite Misty Dawn recruits fairy garden specialist Courtney Kelly, owner of Open Your Imagination, a gift shop in Carmel-by-the-Sea, Calif., to host a fairy-themed 40th birthday party for a sorority sister of Misty’s. When one of the party guests, actor Farrah Lawson, goes to A Peaceful Solution Spa for a facial, she winds up berating the spa owner’s daughter, Twyla Waterman, for mistakenly waxing her eyebrows clean off. Farrah warns Twyla to watch her back. When Farrah turns up dead in the place she’s renting, apparently a poisoning victim, the police have questions for Twyla, who was seen in the vicinity not long before the body’s discovery. Intuitive Courtney and her fairy friend, Fiona, are certain Twyla, “who wouldn’t hurt a fly,” is innocent and set out to find the real culprit. Gerber keeps her fanciful tale grounded in the connections between Courtney and the members of her close-knit community. Fairy-themed pastry recipes are a bonus. This delectable otherworldly whodunit is sure to please cozy fans. Agent: John Talbot, Talbot Fortune Agency.
