Juniper Harlow didn't move to Crescent Bay to solve murders. She moved to sort through her dead aunt's boxes, keep the witchcraft shop running, and figure out what she's doing with her life. Then a woman turns up dead in the library archives - lungs full of saltwater where there isn't any - and Detective Sam Reeves shows up calling her a "civilian consultant" in the tone of someone who's completely run out of better options.
The magic is real, the grudges are old, and Crescent Bay has secrets buried deep enough to drown you in a dry room. Dead in the Water is a paranormal mystery with a cosy heart - set in a small Australian coastal town where a witch, a detective, and a hundred-year-old crime make for very uncomfortable bedfellows.
