Amanda Clarke has always considered herself completely ordinary—a small-town girl flipping pancakes in a roadside diner, surrounded by endless dairy farms and familiar faces. Life may be simple, but it’s predictable. And that’s just how she likes it.
Until the day she learns a mysterious stranger—an old woman she never knew—has left her something in her will.
Suddenly, Amanda is on a train to the big city, heading straight to Miss Zenobia Weekes’ Charm School for Exceptional Young Ladies. Nestled on historic Summit Avenue in St. Paul—where the mansions of railroad tycoons, lumber lords, and F. Scott Fitzgerald himself once stood—the charm school is unlike anything Amanda could have imagined.
Because this isn’t just a finishing school.
This house hums with magic. Literally. The jazz music echoing from the backyard isn’t a relic from the past—it’s playing in real time, from another time. The house stretches across dimensions, guarded by witches who keep the threads of time from unraveling.
But without a protector, the magic has weakened. And something dark has slipped through.
Now Amanda must embrace the magic inside her—whether she believes in it or not—because murder has come to the charm school. And she might be the only one who can stop it.
"Charm School" is the first enchanting installment of the Witches Three Cozy Mystery series—a spellbinding blend of magic, mystery, and sass. Perfect for fans of Amanda M. Lee, N.M. Howell, and Amy Boyles.
