Tori and Cassie Bishop need money fast. Their tarot reading business barely covers expenses, and eviction looms. When an elderly widow named Rose offers them a fortune to serve as resident witches at her isolated Berkshires mansion, the sisters accept immediately. Rose wants spiritual guidance before she dies, but her family and staff view the Bishop women with suspicion. Only Rose's nurse and great-nephew welcome them. The sisters try to help Rose find peace, but she dies suddenly. Millions vanish from her trust overnight. The family points fingers at Tori and Cassie, who become prime suspects in both the theft and Rose's death. Someone has set them up deliberately. The Bishop sisters must use every skill they possess to expose the real culprit. They navigate the estate's web of family greed and bitter rivalries while racing to prove their innocence. Their freedom depends on unmasking the true killer before they become the next victims.
