About this book

In Deepwood, Oregon, magic mingles with the mundane… and occasionally, with murder.

Edwina Gale has a lot on her plate: running a diner, investigating supernatural crimes for the local witch council, and attempting (with limited success) to enjoy a romantic weekend with her boyfriend. But when a glamorous drag queen turns up dead under suspicious circumstances, romance is officially off the table.

Now Edwina must trade candlelight for crime scenes and track down a (possibly supernatural) killer before they strike again. Or worse, before the wrong person takes the fall.

Because in Deepwood, secrets simmer, mayhem is on the menu, and even a cozy weekend getaway can come with a side of murder.

Perfect for fans of paranormal women’s fiction with a sharp sense of humor, this witchy cozy mystery by USA Today Best-selling Author, Shéa MacLeod, serves up:

🔮 Cozy, witchy vibes

🔮 A heroine who is officially out of forks to give

🔮 Found Family (totally ride or die)

🔮Small, magical town bursting with secrets

🔮Ancient Egyptian gods run amok

🔮Drag Queens, Donuts, and a whole lot of sequins (also a tiny bit of murder) ...

One thing’s for sure, in Deepwood, the drama can be deadly.

\"Murder, Magic, and Drag Queens\"

June 25, 2025

Listen. I came here for a lighthearted weekend escape and ended up chasing murderers through a magical small town with a witch who has zero time for nonsense and even less time for romance-ruining corpses. Not to mention, I couldn't stop thinking about donuts! This book has everything: ✨ Murder with a side of sequins 🧙‍♀️ An old naked man showing his goodies all over town 🥓 Breakfast foods as comfort 👠 More drag drama than a reunion episode 🔮 Enough magical mischief to fry your circuits...

This book has a lot of interesting characters. In Deepwood Oregon, that’s where you can find Norma’s diner. Of course Fred will be there naked and waiting to be served. The characters are very varied and wonderful. The mystery very interesting. This is a great story. )

Loved it!

I really enjoyed this story. I like the quirkiness of it. I felt the connection between the characters click like they have known each other forever. )
