Cassie Black is back, and she’s now heading up MagicLand’s newest detective agency.

Well, sort of...

Cassie Black may have just defeated an evil wizard, but that hasn’t stopped her from getting kicked out of the Academy’s detective training program. The upside is that it’s forced Cassie to start her own agency. The downside? A complete lack of clients.

Cassie thinks her career is on the upswing when Rosaria’s new mayor hires her to find a missing jewel. It’s a huge case that could turn the agency around. Trouble is, the jewel hasn’t been seen for well over 500 years, and Cassie suspects there’s something fishy behind the mayor’s sudden demands the jewel be found ASAP.

What’s more… something besides tea is brewing over at Magic HQ, but thanks to a little snag in the Magic bureaucracy, Cassie isn’t allowed to lend her skills to the problem. In fact, if she doesn’t sort out that bit of bureaucracy in the next few days, her sleuthing career will be over before it ever begins.

It all has Cassie looking wistfully back on the days when all she had to do was save the world.

If you like contemporary fantasy that's filled with wry humor, intriguing mystery, and diabolical office chairs, you’ll love the twists and turns of this start to an all-new trilogy featuring Cassie Black.

Lengthy, Over-Explaining Book Note: This is book four of the “hilarious” and "highly recommended” Cassie Black Trilogy. Yes, “book four”, because trilogies refuse to be tamed! Or, if you prefer, you can call it Book One of The Cassie Black Trilogy 2.0. Either way, The Unusual Mayor Marheart kicks off a new, unputdownable, laugh-snort filled fight against even more evil than Trilogy 1.0!

Readers tell me this book can be enjoyed if you haven't read the first three books. But if you want a deeper understanding of the characters, Cassie's ability to attract trouble, and what all those pastries are really all about, reading books 1 - 3 can't hurt (unless you drop them on your toe...).
