Alfhild Daemonne hat ein Gasthaus geerbt. Und eine unbekannte Leiche. Seit einem Zerwürfnis mit ihrer Mutter, einer angesehenen Hexe, führt sie einen eher unsteten und gänzlich unmagischen Lebenswandel. Nun ist sie dreißig und selbst überrascht über ihren Entschluss, ein neues Leben zu beginnen. Kurzerhand macht sich Alf auf den Weg ins ländliche Devon, um das einst beliebte Gasthaus neu zu eröffnen. Als sie einen Toten auf ihrer Türschwelle findet, ahnt sie schon bald: Hier ist dunkle Magie im Spiel.

Mit ihren Geistern kommt Alf immer besser klar, nicht jedoch mit ihren inneren Dämonen. Nacht für Nacht liegt sie wach und grübelt über die jüngsten Ereignisse in ihrem Leben. Und als wäre das nicht genug, wird ihre Ruhe zusätzlich von einem jämmerlich heulenden Geist gestört. Er ist völlig verzweifelt, denn jemand versucht, ihn umzubringen. Wer ist diese traurige Gestalt, und wie tötet man jemanden, der bereits tot ist? Um das herauszufinden, macht sich Alfhild Daemonne auf die Suche nach Antworten, und ehe sie sich versieht, befindet sie sich mitten in einem neuen Abenteuer.

Was ist bloß los im Shady Wood? Die Pflanzen und Bäume sterben, und wer mit dem Wasser dort in Berührung kommt, wird krank. Zwei Bewohner von Whittlecombe sind bereits im Krankenhaus, und dann erwischt es auch noch die Eule Mr. Hoo. Alf, die Wirtin des Whittle Inn und Besitzerin des Shady Wood, ist untröstlich. Und als wäre das alles nicht schon schlimm genug, macht man sie für das Unglück verantwortlich. Doch schnell findet sie heraus, wer die wahren Schuldigen sind: ihre alten Rivalen, die Mori.

Toby's been building up quite a reputation for himself. Well, he likes to think so. It's therefore no surprise that when things go wrong for any of his canine friends, he’s called in to help them out. But this time, it’s Toby who needs assistance. The Pointy Woman is back and our talented spellbound hound has a bone to pick with her! The problem is, first he has to find a way to get to her. Cue a helpful fox, a plucky hedgehog, a "bithycle" made for one, a balloon ride never to be forgotten and the usual shenanigans. But when the fun and games are over, it’s time to get serious.

Whittlecombe – ein charmantes, friedliches Dorf im Südwesten Englands, mit reetgedeckten Häuschen, verwinkelten Gassen, leckeren Käse-Sandwiches und dem traditionellen Tee am Nachmittag. Doch plötzlich werden die Bewohner krank, einer nach dem anderen. Bestimmt ist es nur die Grippe, oder? Könnte sein. Allerdings plant Alfhild Daemonne gerade die Vampirhochzeit des Jahrhunderts in ihrem Hexengasthaus. Ist das alles reiner Zufall, oder haben die Ereignisse im Dorf mit Alfs ungewöhnlichen Gästen zu tun?

In Whittlecombe findet ein ganz besonderer Jahrmarkt statt: Alfs Konkurrent, der Betreiber des Hay Loft, hat Wahrsager, Runenleser, Medizinmänner und sogar eine Voodoo-Priesterin aus New Orleans eingeladen. So etwas hat es hier noch nie gegeben! Eine tolle Gelegenheit für Alf, neue Freunde zu finden. Ihr Gasthaus läuft gut, und nach all der Aufregung der letzten Monate sehnt sie sich nach ein wenig Abwechslung und Entspannung. Doch daraus wird nichts, denn sie ist auf dem Jahrmarkt nicht erwünscht.

Dodo was dead. And there the matter should have rested. At least for DS Elise Liddell. Emotionally burnt out, she considers herself retired from police work. By rights it has nothing to do with her, but someone killed the poor man and, as Elise can resist everything except a good puzzle (and a shot of Blue Goblin vodka), here she is tangled up in a murder case. When a petty thief hands himself into the Ministry of Witches Police Department, Elise’s ex-colleagues consider it an open and shut case. She’s less convinced.

After hosting a diabolical vampire wedding last Halloween, Alf had imagined that Whittle Inn had seen the last of those long-toothed monsters. She’d pointedly barred them from ever setting foot or fang in her part of the English countryside again. But since then, one thing has continued to bother our favourite wonkiest witch. Who killed the handsome young vampire Thaddeus? And why?

Murder, magic, and mayhem—with a side of cake and a hooting owl. Welcome to Whittlecombe, a village so quaint even the ghosts can’t bear to leave. At the heart of it sits the Wonky Inn—a crumbling, magical haven inherited by one Alfhild Daemonne, a witch with spectacularly unpredictable powers and an owl familiar named Mr Hoo who thinks he knows best (and often does). In The Wonkiest Witch, Alf’s plans to quietly settle in are rudely interrupted by a corpse on the patio, a nosey village full of secrets and a sudden need to remember how magic actually works. Spoiler: it doesn’t go well.

The producers of Witchflix TV favorite The Great Witchy Cake Off are searching for somewhere new to base the filming of their next series. Naturally, Alfhild Daemonne, a long time fan of all things cakey, invites them to Whittle Inn. But what seemed like a great opportunity for a little harmless Wonky Inn self-promotion backfires when, at dawn on the first day of filming, one of the contestants is found toes-up outside the famous marquee.

Horrified Alfhild Daemonne, recently returned from a holiday overseas, is keen to find out who the unfortunate victim was and how they died. After all, she might need to make reparations to the victim's family for an atrocity one of her ancestors committed.

Toby is a pooch in need of a short back and sides. Unfortunately, an unscheduled appointment at Toby's local poodle parlor proves particularly perilous for the poor proprietor in more ways than one. Her poor poodle is left pining. But when you have a spellbound hound on the case, it turns out murder can be stylish after all!

Elise Liddell is no country girl, but she’s not averse to the existence of rabbits. Especially cute and fluffy white ones. But there’s one on the loose in Tumble Town. And that particular sweet bunny turns out to be a harbinger of death.... Every time Elise spots it, she soon discovers another corpse.

Alfhild Daemonne has inherited an inn. And a dead body. Estranged from her witch mother, and having committed to little in her 30 years, Alf surprises herself when she decides to start a new life. She heads deep into the English countryside, intent on making a success of the once popular inn. However, discovering the murder throws her a curve ball. Especially when she suspects dark magick. Additionally, a less than warm welcome from several locals persuades her that a variety of folk - of both the mortal and magickal persuasions - have it in for her.

When journalist and part-time witch Clarissa Page first meets Toby, she thinks she’s getting a quiet companion. What she gets is a furball with opinions, secrets and more than a touch of magic. Together, they form the least conventional (but most adorable) crime-fighting duo the West Country has ever seen.

Since giving up the booze—bar a small hiccup here and there—ex-Ministry of Witches Detective Elise Liddell hasn’t had much call to hang out in bars. So, imagine her surprise when the generally antagonistic landlord of the Pig and Pepper calls on her for assistance. It seems Charles Lynch’s regulars are being scared away by mysterious specters. It’s hitting him where it hurts: right in the pocket. Elise agrees to help. After all, the pub is her local, and she isn’t generally spooked by the paranormal. However, the apparitions turn out to be monks. Malevolent monks!

The pointy woman gave him a voice. Now, she wants to shut him up. Permanently. Would-be investigative journalist, Clarissa Page, and her sammich-obsessed spellbound hound, Toby, are making little headway in their hunt for the nasty witch, Miranda Dervish. And they’re having no luck finding the magickal four stone either. No matter which way they turn, who they ask, or where they search, they’re thwarted.

Welcome to Tumble Town, where the shadows know your name. And that's not necessarily a good thing.

Take a pair of ballet shoes, a faery queen, and a disgruntled mage and what do you get? A grim time in the Kingdom of Sweets. Or so says the owner of the Magical Emporium, Mister Magigi, a monkey wizard long renowned for spinning a good yarn. In Sugar Plum Scary, he recounts the story of a beautiful, intelligent, and benevolent queen, adored by all of her subjects. Except for one. And as Mister Magigi explains, while Queen Sugar Plum imagines she’ll live happily ever after, that one man is determined to make her life a misery.

Toby the dog can smell death. When someone assaults his elderly neighbor and leaves her for dead, Spellbound Hound Toby is devastated. For one thing, he’s worried who’ll keep him in cheesy dog treats now, but more than that, all indications are that Miranda Dervish - also known as The Pointy Woman - is behind this latest atrocity. The woman who murdered Old Joe and hexed Toby is back!
