Carly
Bell Hartwell is a talented white magic witch and empath who
owns and runs the "Little Shop of Potions" where
she sells healing potions. Her abilities include the unfortunate
"gift" of not only being able to see spirits on
and around Halloween, but to feel what killed them. As a result,
it's up to Carly to help the spirits resolve their murders
by unmasking the killers so the spirits can pass over before
the between-world portal closes on November 3rd.
This
year, however, the spirits are amongst the least of her worries.
You see, her twice-almost and possibly future mother-in-law,
Patricia Davis Jackson, has been arrested for the murder of
Haywood Dodd, who was killed at a costume ball where he was
set to make a big announcement.
Juggling
the supernatural with the all too human foibles and tragedies
keeps Carly on her toes. Fortunately, she has a good support
system in her family and her boyfriend, Dylan. Will they be
enough to keep her feet on the ground as she hurries to find
a killer and get a few ghosts to cross over before they run
out of time and have to remain earthbound for another year?
Will Haywood Dodd's real killer be found in time to spring
Patricia Davis Jackson before she's tried and convicted?
Once
again Heather Blake has delivered a spooky-funny-friends and
family fueled, dynamic and engaging Paracozie, destined to
be a favorite among mystery readers.
Blake's
stories are always entertaining, and her unique characters
continue to evolve in a satisfying fashion. For me, a new
Magic Potion Mystery, released just in time for Halloween
is the best treat of the season!
