The Winifred Baxter Mysteries

The Winifred Baxter Mysteries

Pelican Cove, Maine, is the kind of town where everyone knows everyone... and everyone knows everyone else's business.

Winifred Baxter runs a botanical apothecary, solves problems with logic and observation, and refuses to believe there's anything magical about the crow living in her shop.

As murders, secrets, and decades-old mysteries surface along the Maine coast, Winifred finds herself following clues left by a bird who always seems one step ahead. Together, they uncover the truth behind crimes that someone would rather keep buried.
