Book of the Week: Now You See It by Carol J. Perry (Witch City Mysteries)

Carol Perry's Witch City Mysteries are one of my all-time favorite series and "Now You See it" didn't disappoint. It was engaging, just like all of her characters. Five of Five Stars!

Lee Mondelo, a TV reporter turned program manager who has the ability to perform scrying.. (seeing fortelling images in reflected surfaces) and her husband Pete, a local police officer are great characters. Lee's Aunt Ibby is the town librarian with resources to help with any murder mystery they get involved in... and there's O'Ryan the cat who was once the "familiar" of a now deceased Salem, Mass. witch... and the cat usually comes up with interesting behaviors to clue in Lee and Pete. 

  This mystery in the series was really engaging. It's about a new museum opening to highlight the seafaring days of yesteryear with lots of history and expensive  artifacts... and before it gets off the ground, there's a murder- with a mysterious hooded figure... I couldn't wait to get to the end! It's a great read!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Bestselling author Carol J. Perry returns with the latest installment of her Witch City Mysteries!

Marriage isn’t the only thing new in Lee Barrett’s life when she’s tasked with a hauntingly dangerous assignment in her job as program director for Salem, Massachusetts’s local station, WICH-TV . . .

Just married, Lee and her husband, Detective Sergeant Pete Mondello, are settling into their new home when Lee is dubbed WICH-TV’s new “Historical Documentary Chief Executive.” Her first subject is the brand-new
Salem International Museum, slated to be a location for traveling blockbuster exhibits, starting with “Seafaring New England.” From research to collecting artifacts of Salem’s long-ago days as a shipping capital, the project is a challenge—but when the driver of a truckload of antiquities turns up dead under a pile of fall leaves, it’s not quite the kind of challenge Lee expected . . .

Soon, Lee and Pete are dredging up clues along with a hardy crew of helpers, including Lee’s librarian aunt, Ibby, Lee’s best friend and practicing witch, River North—and of course the clairvoyant cat, O’Ryan. But when a ship model in the exhibit’s collection appears to be haunted, Lee will have to dive into her own treasure trove of psychic gifts before a killer comes to the surface to strike again . . .
