Bell Ringer: The Magician

Welcome to Middleberry, Pennsylvania—where the muffins are enchanted, the sheriff wears flannel, and murder never sticks to the script. When a magician's assistant dies during a show at the county fair, retired FBI profiler and baker Bell Ringer stirs up more than batter to uncover the truth. With her mischievous cat Marmalade, goth sidekick Star Sparks, and high school sweetheart Sheriff Rodney Halloway by her side, Bell peels back layers of illusion, jealousy, and deception to unmask a killer hiding behind smoke and mirrors. Cozy charm, a dash of magical realism, and red herrings abound in this twisty tale of secrets, sleight of hand, and second chances.
