Toil and Trouble


Overview

Double double, toil and trouble . . . Bella Jordan faces ghosts, witches and a very real foe in the new installment of New York Times bestseller Wendy Corsi Staub's heartwarming cozy mystery series set in Lily Dale, New York's Spiritualist home. A relative newcomer to Lily Dale, the quirky New York lakeside village populated by spiritual mediums, young widow Bella Jordan doesn't have time to believe in supernatural entities. She has enough to tackle, what with running Valley View guesthouse, wrangling her seven-year-old son Max and their growing army of pets, and dealing with her lovable but meddlesome neighbors. So when Pandora Feeney, Valley View's highly eccentric - and reputedly highly psychic - owner, portentously predicts that something wicked this way comes, Bella's more worried about the fact that Pandora's announced she plans to move back into the guesthouse than about approaching danger. Besides, the local theatre is putting on a performance of Macbeth, so it's no wonder that sorcery and black magic are in the air. Lily Dale is safe. Bella's sure of it. Even if one of her female guests at Valley View is setting her oddly on edge and Max is seeing witches behind every corner. Little does Bella know that a storm is coming, with the power to blow her life, and Max's, right off course . . . or far, far worse.
