Wonderful Mystery! Murder Take Two by Carol J Perry (Witch City Mysteries) & Great Recipe I Tried

 I recently enjoyed reading my third book in the Witch City Mysteries called "Murder Take Two" by Carol J Perry. I love, love, love this series!!  The main character, Maralee, a reporter on WICH-TV, lives with her aunt (a retired librarian), and a boy friend, Pete, who is a local police detective. Maralee also has an ability to see things in mirrors that help her solve mysteries. There are great supporting characters, too. 
*There is also a recipe for Pizza dough Cinnamon buns that I made, and they were delicious!. 
 What I loved about this story:

There was a murder that parallels one that happened 100 years before, and one particular history teacher is suspected. The story presents twists and turns, and keeps you guessing. It's pretty fast-paced, too, which I enjoy. 5 of 5 Stars

Note: Before this mystery, I tried reading a new series (which I will not name) and read 150 pages before I put it down. In that series, the reader was introduced to an entire neighborhood of characters, and it was overwhelming. This series doesn't have that issue at all. 


Witch City Mysteries have great, consistent characters, that you really want to know more about. I can't wait to read all of them (I think there are 9 or 10). 
BONUS- In the back there are a couple of recipes, and I made one- Pizza Dough Cinnamon Rolls- They were DELICIOUS. 


ABOUT THE BOOK: When a copycat killer has reporter Lee Barrett brushing up on ancient history, it’s a test where failure could be lethal . . .
 
As a Salem, Massachusetts, native, WICH-TV field reporter and amateur sleuth Lee Barrett is well versed in the region’s lore. So when the murder of revered local professor Samuel Bond resembles a killing from almost two centuries ago, everyone is on edge. Especially assistant professor Cody McGinnis . . .
 
Not only did Cody have differences with Bond, he even taught a course on the historic murder. And when his fingerprints and ladder are found at the crime scene, the police are certain of his guilt. Cody’s family, however, believes otherwise and asks Lee for assistance. Now, with the help of her clairvoyant cat, O’Ryan, her tech-savvy librarian aunt and housemate Ibby, and Pete Mondello, her handsome detective beau, Lee will delve deeper than ever into Salem’s past—and into her own psychic gifts—to find the real killer—before someone else is history . . .
