Phoebe Winchester is adjusting to her new life in Raven Creek, Washington, where she runs the bookstore and tea shop, the Earl's Study, out of the Victorian manor she inherited from her dearly departed Aunt Eudora. In addition, she's learning to master her recently discovered magical powers, but when she discovers a dead body at an estate sale, Phoebe doesn't know how much more she can handle. She enlists the help of an old friend and private investigator, Rich, to clear her name and solve the murder.
