The Phoenix - Morgan Delaney

"Yes, don't worry. You'll be dead before the really nasty stuff happens," said Gertrude.

It's summer, 19- and sleepy Hawkinge-By-Hythe (seven time winner of Great Britain's Most Superstitious Town) is suddenly overrun by a plague of rats. The townsfolk immediately assume the worst: the terrifying witch, Dame Holte, is rising from her grave to exact revenge!

That's where Gertrude, Victoria and Colette Alumière come in. The three ladies run the local chemist shop by day and indulge their interest in the inexplicable by night. They don't believe in the supernatural, but they love a good mystery.

But when identical triplets, with a penchant for dressing in black, get mixed up in the otherworldly, well.

What's a superstitious local supposed to think?

Scientists? Yes. 

Sisters? Yes. 

Witches? Oh, no...
