In a small town like Plimmer Valley, everyone knows your business…

Especially when there’s a body in the sweet shop.

Matilda is back where she started — home in Plimmer Valley, working in her family’s sweet shop alongside her four sisters and under the watchful eye of her formidable mother.

It’s meant to be a reset. A chance to quietly rebuild after her once-promising career as a wildlife photographer fell apart.

Simple. Predictable. Safe.

Until a man dies right in front of her.

Suddenly, life isn’t so sweet.

Drawn into the mystery (despite her better judgement), Matilda starts asking questions.

Between family chaos, a charming handsome stranger, and a case that’s proving impossible to ignore, Matilda finds herself in deeper than she planned.

Sweets and Spells is a cosy magical mystery filled with small-town charm, family dynamics, a hint of romance, and a sprinkle of magic — perfect for readers who love their mysteries with heart, humour, and just a touch of the unexpected.
