Synopsis

Kill me?”

Yes, don't worry, you’ll be dead before the really nasty stuff happens,” said Gertrude.

In 1920s England, witches are alive and well in picturesque Hawkinge-By-Hythe. That’s what the locals think anyway, when identical triplets, Colette, Victoria and Gertrude Alumière, appear. But the myth busting, bicycle-riding Alumières are determined to prove there’s no such thing as witchcraft, even as a sudden plague of rats suggests the legendary Dame Holte is rising from the grave.

But despite rats (and witches, who definitely don’t exist), love is in the air. Although handsome, barrel-chested, Jeb can’t take a step without someone swooning, he soon has competition for the heart of the widowed Mrs Sniffacre. Meanwhile, the Alumières follow the rats’ trail of destruction to a Rune of Re-awakening for a demon known as “Hell’s Handsome Soldier”...

As the 400th anniversary of Dame Holte’s execution approaches, time is running out for the Alumières to prove what’s really going on. The rat swarms are growing larger, Colette seems to have fallen under Jeb’s spell, and there hasn’t been a human sacrifice in town for ages...

But if there’s no such thing as witchcraft, how will they thwart the evil plans of a long-dead witch?
