She'd been killed by her spurned lover, Troy Braggs, and everybody in the small town of Erin, Ohio knew it. This wasn't a case for the unique mystery-solving talents of Sebastian McCabe, mystery writer and amateur sleuth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut when an alibi emerges for Bragg, Mac and his best friend and brother-in-law Jeff Cody are dragged into the matter by the desperate police chief, Oscar Hummel, who hopes they can prove the obvious. But it doesn't go well. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite the mystery writer's special skills in strange cases, all seems hopeless until an eyewitness to the murder comes forward and will only speak to Mac. Her evidence is convincing-except for the fact that she's a witch. And then come new murders with a not-so-obvious solution, one that will stun both long-time McCabe \u0026amp; Cody fans and newcomers to the series. Only Sebastian McCabe could solve this, ably assisted by Jeff Cody. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 16\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e volume in the series (including two books of shorter tales in addition to the novels) also includes a bonus novelette with a new kind of McCabe \u0026amp; Cody mystery. \u003cem\u003eThe Puzzle of the Purple Beret\u003c\/em\u003e is narrated by Jeff's wife, Lynda Teal Cody, as she tells the tale of a tantalizing mystery solved by her and by Jeff's sister, Kathleen Cody McCabe, with no help from their spouses. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 10, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125710045323,"sku":"9781804247518","price":36.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/2579\/7259\/files\/Yno2z5RWUQ9781804247518.webp?v=1780490870","url":"https:\/\/thetaletrade.com\/products\/ding-dong-the-witch-is-dead-paperback","provider":"The Tale Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
