For a tiny town, picturesque Wilfred, Oregon, has everything, including an impressive library housed in a Victorian mansion, a touch of magic in new librarian and fledgling witch, Josie Way, a visiting movie star—and a curious tendency toward murder . . .

Josie and all of Wilfred are buzzing with excitement. A-list movie star Daphne Morris has chosen to interview Roz, assistant librarian and novelist, for her book club. But when the glamorous actress quickly charms both Roz's long-time love and sheriff Sam, the object of Josie's unrequited affection, Josie turns to the whispers from her beloved books for ideas on revising the plot. Yet soon there's another twist . . .

At a party to celebrate the interview, Daphne's personal chef is found dead in a scene that all too closely echoes one in Roz's novel. It's clear to Josie that someone's idea of a happy ending means framing her friend. She'll have to read between the lines with the help of the library's enchanted stacks, guidance from her magical grandmother's letters, and her cat familiar, Rodney, to solve this murder before someone decides to stage a deadly sequel . . .

      A librarian's magical powers are tested when she has to cope with jealousy and murder. Josie Way left the East Coast for a job at a very special library in a very small Oregon town. Now that she's been involved in two murder cases, she looks forward to helping her friend Roz Chatterley Windsor, a romance writer and assistant librarian, conduct a more routine interview with famous actress Daphne Morris for her televised book club. Roz hopes the publicity will shoot her to stardom, but things don't go exactly as planned. Before the interview, Daphne decides to spend some time in town, where her startling beauty and flirtatious manner attract Roz's boyfriend, Lyndon, making Roz furious. Nor is Josie pleased that Daphne seems to be pursuing Sheriff Sam Wilfred, for whom she harbors feelings of her own. When Daphne's chef, Bryce, is found electrocuted in her bathtub, everyone assumes that Daphne was the real target. After all, Roz openly threatened her, and her cousin Bianca, against whom she's taken out a restraining order, is in town. As it turns out, most of Daphne's staff have reason to hate her, since their contracts with her prevent them from working on any other projects. Josie's suspicions of Daphne's assistant, Morgan Stanhope, end when she becomes the next to die. Josie, who's slowly learning to harness her powers as a witch, refuses to concoct a love potion for Sam, but those powers come in handy in solving two murders. Red herrings galore compete with witchy library lore in an often humorous mystery.
