Arlene Marcus and her sister, Elzbeth, are known as witches. At least, that’s the story spread by Opal Dunn just before she vanished. Arlene’s son, Jeremy, tries to get the sisters to sell their house. Eustace Sternwood desperately wants to buy the property. Sternwood didn’t reckon on dealing with people who read bumps on his head, a “recipe book” full of spells and potions and getting lost in Elzbeth’s “mystery room.” Jeremy already has his hands full, so what happens when he seems to be falling in love with Bonnie, the new housekeeper? And just who is she? It’s a heady brew of twists and turns, where barn owls spy on people through windows, closets fly open and even the house itself seems alive!
