I recently finished reading and thoroughly enjoying the 8th book in the "Witch City Mystery" series by Carol J. Perry called "Final Exam." She's created such wonderful characters- with a tinge of supernatural in them. They all take place in Salem, Massachusetts (home of the infamous, horrible witch trials of the 1600s). I LOVE the characters: Maralee, the main character who is a reporter with WICH-TV can see visions in mirrors, that help solve mysteries that her cop boyfriend, Pete is working on. Maralee's lovable librarian aunt, Ibby lives in the same house and their cat, O'Ryan, former cat to a witch found murdered in book 1, adds a paw to the mysteries. "Final Exam" kept me guessing throughout the book, the author brings the characters to life, so much that you can see them in your mind as you read. I couldn't wait find out "who did it!" - 5 of 5 stars.
ABOUT THE BOOK: A cold case update in Salem, Massachusetts . . .
Life at the house on Winter Street is abuzz with preparations for Aunt Ibby's 45th high school reunion, and Lee Barrett is happy to pitch in, tracking down addresses and licking envelopes. But as a field reporter for Salem's WICH-TV, her priority is to be on top of the town's latest news before for anyone else.When the local police dredge up a vintage sports car containing human remains, Lee is thrilled to be the first reporter on the scene. Once she learns the car is connected to the cold case her boyfriend Pete happens to be investigating, her powers of investigation are quickly alerted. But it's her Aunt Libby's emotional reaction to Lee's TV report that puts her on the case. With the help of O'Ryan, her psychic feline sidekick, she'll have to unravel a tangled past of secrets and promises to stop a killer from making history again . . .
