Playboy Thompson C. Briephs has just been found strangled in his bed. The police believe the Newcastle Herald crossword editor, a scion of a blue-blooded New England family, died from kinky sex gone wrong. But cop-turned-private investigator Rosco Polycrates thinks there's a six-letter word for what happened.

I'm living Murphy's Law with a magical twist. If something can go wrong, it will. Monsters show up. And then I die. Again and again and again. I'm stuck in a time loop, and the mistakes I have to fix aren't even mine. Some idiot in the coven causes a hiccup in my plans, and I have to start over. The only person who will listen to me isn't a person at all. It's a garden gnome. It's possible I lost my marbles on the road to Marshmallow. But if I can't figure out how to manipulate this group of witches into making the right choices, I know where the loop takes me. To the end of the world.
