The Witch City mystery series by Carol J. Perry has already become one of my favorite cozy mystery series. I just finished my third book in the series, which was actually the first book - called "Caught Dead Handed" and it was FANTASTIC!! I love all of the characters. There's Maralee, or Lee, whom is a 30 something widower who moves from Florida back to Salem, Mass. (famous for the Witch Trials of 1692) and moves into an upstairs apartment in her Aunt Ibby's house (whom is a 60 something retired reference librarian). There's a great love interest, too, but if you haven't read any in the series I won't give it away. Lee, her boyfriend, Ibby and a Witch's cat get involved in a great mystery that will keep you guessing. It's AWESOME. Buy it. Read it. Enjoy it. PLUS, tomorrow is Halloween! In fact, read ALL of the books in the series. I know I will.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
She’s not a psychic—she just plays one on TV . . . A “delightfully spooky” mystery set in Salem, Massachusetts (RT Book Reviews).
Most folks associate the city of Salem, Massachusetts with witches, but for Lee Barrett, it’s home. This October she’s returned to her hometown—where her beloved Aunt Ibby still lives—to interview for a job as a reporter at WICH-TV. But the only opening is for a call-in psychic to host the late night horror movies. It seems the previous host, Ariel Constellation, never saw her own murder coming.
Lee reluctantly takes the job, but when she starts seeing real events in the obsidian ball she's using as a prop, she wonders if she might really have psychic abilities. To make things even spookier, it’s starting to look like Ariel may have been an actual practicing witch—especially when O'Ryan, the cat Lee and Aunt Ibby inherited from her, exhibits some strange powers of his own. With Halloween fast approaching, Lee must focus on unmasking a killer—or her career as a psychic may be very short lived . .
