Alchemy, Arsenic, and Alibis — Shea MacLeod

Deepwood is a cozy town, but every town has its secrets. As a witch, Edwina Gale has been tasked with keeping those secrets. Purloined donuts, coven meetings, and ancient Egyptian gods run amok are all in a day's work as far as she's concerned. But all her carefully laid plans unravel when the chief of police blackmails her into helping him solve a mystery, and she finds herself on the wrong end of magic gone awry. Note: Alchemy, Arsenic, and Alibis originally appeared in the paranormal cozy mystery anthology Cold Cases and Haunted Places. However, there have been a few changes to this story.
