A town of wonky magic. A fencer stabbed by her own blade. Can Twizzie untangle the twisted mystery?

Twizzle Twist isn’t your normal real estate pixie. Nor is St. Maurice your normal Southern California town. The magic in the valley belches at the worst time. The faerock vein in St. Mo marks the local fae in uncomfortable ways. Twizzie’s gimpy wing and bum leg are the least of her worries when she’s hired to show a cute new resident homes for sale in St. Maurice.

She has her wings busy trying to keep her mind on the sale, and not her cute client. Their house-hunting lunges off-target when the first showing comes with more than either of them bargained for. The owner is dead, stabbed in the back with her own sword.

St. Maurice’s has one of the few remaining amusement piers on the west coast. And someone is twisting the town council to tear it down. Twizzie’s home above the merry-go-round, as well as the businesses of her friends, may become a pile of timber as new development pushes into the seaside town.

With a murderer on the loose, a cute vampire she needs to sell a home to, so she won’t break her rule about dating clients, and the imminent demise of her home, Twizzie has too many strikes to dodge all at once.

Will Twizzie and her friends pull the right cord to untangle the twisted knot of intrigue in their sleepy village? If you love mysteries with a dash of quirky characters, a dose of warped magic, and snarky humour, buy your copy of A Twisted Riposte today to lunge into this mystery.
