Passover in Shiloh was supposed to be about matzo, meaning, and maybe a little peace and quiet. Instead, it comes with a dead body in a ravine—and one very unlucky Easter Bunny.

When the local high school principal is found murdered during a springtime community event, Shiloh is once again thrown into turmoil. Ava Goldberg wants nothing more than to stay out of it this time. Between running Cafe Arcana, preparing for Passover, and trying to protect her hard-won new life, she’s done playing amateur detective.

Unfortunately, the prime suspect is someone who doesn’t deserve it.

As rumors spread and tensions rise, Ava finds herself pulled back into the investigation—whether she likes it or not. With her tarot cards offering more questions than answers, a determined teenager begging for help, and a killer who may already have Ava in their sights, this holiday season is shaping up to be anything but liberating.

Because in Shiloh, even fresh starts come with baggage—and some secrets are deadly.

Plagued By Death is the third book in the Cafe Arcana Mystery series, a cozy mystery full of small-town charm, Jewish holiday traditions, hot coffee, and a mystical twist.
