A standalone prequel novella for the award-winning Charlie Kingsley Mystery series.

Charlie Kingsley is NOT a doctor. She is very clear about this to all her customers who purchase her teas and tinctures.

But, somehow that doesn’t stop her customers from treating her like a doctor. Including calling her in the middle of the night to help with an emergency.

What’s the emergency? Her customer’s daughter, Cyndi, was attacked by a … gargoyle?

But gargoyles aren’t real!

Right?

So, who attacked Cyndi? And whose next?

Meet Charlie. Better known as “Aunt Charlie” from the award-winning Secrets of Redemption series. She’s back, making teas and solving cases in this funny, twisty, cozy mystery series set in the 1990s in Redemption, Wisconsin.
