Enjoyable Mystery: Look Both Ways by Carol J Perry: A Witch City Mystery

I recently enjoyed a second book in the "Witch City Mystery" series called "Look Both Ways" by Carol J Perry.
    Witch City is of course Salem, Massachusetts, home of the famous Witch trials. (The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts between February 1692 and May 1693.)
     The main character, Maralee is a Scryer (which means she can see "things" in reflective surfaces- that helps her solve mysteries). Her day job is a teacher, and her boyfriend is a Salem, Mass. police officer. The series has great characters- her Aunt and her aunt's boyfriend (who runs the school where Maralee is emplooyed); and Maralee's tarot card reading friend, River. There's also Maralee's mysterious cat...
    In this book, the story revolves around a murder in the past, and Maralee purchases a bureau that once belonged to the victim, and has secret compartments with clues... clues that prompt murders that Maralee and her boyfriend need to solve.
I love the characters, the story and the series. 5 of 5 stars!

When Lee Barrett spots the same style oak bureau she once had as a child on the WICH-TV show, Shopping Salem, she rushes to the antiques shop and buys the piece. Just like the beloved bureau she lost in a fire, this one has secret compartments. It also comes with an intriguing history--it was purchased in an estate sale from a home where a famous local murder took place.

The day after the bureau is delivered, Lee returns to the antiques shop and finds the owner dead. The police suspect the shop owner's unscrupulous business partner, but Lee wonders if the murder is connected to her new furniture. At least part of the answer may be revealed through a mirror in the bureau, tarnished and blackened, allowing Lee to tap into her psychic visions. Using this bureau of investigation, Lee may be able to furnish her policeman beau with the evidence needed to catch the killer--before the next one to be shut up is her.
