Right before she is killed in an accident\, Adaire saw something unnerving\, and that’s why Weatherly believes she was murdered–never thinking for a moment that it was an accident. But when Weatherly\, for the first time\, is unable to talk the death out of the mayor’s son\, the whole town suspects she is out for revenge\, that she wouldn’t save him. \n\n\n\nWith the help of clues Adaire left behind and her family’s Granny Witch recipe box\, Weatherly sets out to find the truth behind her cousin’s death\, whatever it takes. Imbued with magic\, witchery\, and suspense\, Dana Elmendorf’s In the Hour of Crows is a thrilling tale of friendship\, identity\, and love. . \n\n\n\n“In the Hour of Crows enchants with its haunting plot and vivid prose\, offering a compelling exploration of the human spirit against the backdrop of Appalachia’s mystique.” –Booklist
