The Witch in the Weeds
A fantastical mystery full of magic and wonder.
Welcome to Feorlen, a land where magic grows as thick as the skulls of men. Luckily, the quick-witted Rhetta Cur is around to save the day!
When a local magistrate is murdered in an apparent act of witchcraft, all eyes turn uneasily to the Lesser Witch. Enter Rhetta, the cleverest woman east of the River Begg. Desperate for funds to repay her husband’s ridiculous debts, Rhetta plunges headlong into the investigation. Neither crooked nobles nor cantankerous magic-wielders will stop her from finding the true culprit. But whoever could it be?
The Ring and the Rogue
The fantastical plot thickens like cold soup in Gerti’s kitchen!
Rhetta Cur returns as her case-load mounts. Enchanted ants? Decade-old thefts? Magical murder? Nothing is beyond the puzzling mind of Feorlen’s first female freelance investigator!
The count tasks Rhetta with finding the mysterious Ring of Solace, an ancient heirloom stolen ten years ago by Feorlen’s most villainous rogue. But is the trail really as cold as the evidence suggests? Murder and mayhem indicate that Rhetta is on to something big – she just needs to figure out what! From the maddening mines of Minedamp to the Forest Vast itself, Rhetta and her crack team of loyal assistants return in this riveting sequel. But can she unravel the plot before it unravels her?
The Curse of the Crone
The mysteries and mayhem mount like the chaos in Edric’s sock drawer!
Rhetta Cur returns for her third magical case, her crack team of assistants close on her heels. Ghosts and elves and long-dead-witches all have their mysteries unraveled like ribbon on a gift box. But can Rhetta solve the mysteries of the heart?
The count is desperate to marry, and he has assembled a posse of princesses from which to choose a bride. Alas, the ghost of the Iron Countess has other plans. Tormented, taunted and ill-treated, cracks begin to show in the princess’s personalities. Can Rhetta tame the ghost before she attacks again? Or with so much on the line, is it perhaps the pouty princesses who have taken matters into their own hands? When romance is in the air, anyone can become a victim…
Reviews
“Alex van Wyst’s debut, The Witch in the Weeds, is a fun, fantastical ride through Feorlen.” -Mary Kate M
“With a style reminiscent of Aspirin and Pratchett, this is a very good debut. Fast-paced and, while dealing with serious subjects, never takes itself too seriously. I’m looking forward to reading more Rhetta Cur mysteries in the future.” -Warrik
