Maggie O'Neill is back, better than ever, and this time
she's involved in a mystery that will test her beliefs and
perhaps change her outlook on life forever. Maggie and her
friend Felicity Dow go antiquing at a craft bazaar, looking
for items to carry at Enchantments, Liss' mystical antique
shop. While Liss has her eye on a beautiful handcrafted
armoire, Maggie is charmed by the handsome Amish
woodworker, Luc Metzger. When he turns up dead, most want
to believe it's simply a mugging gone wrong, but Maggie
suspects there may be more to the crime when an unusual hex
symbol is discovered near his body.
Detective Tom Fielding, Maggie's boyfriend, has been
promoted to Special Task Force Investigator due to the rise
in crime in their small Indiana town, and the Metzger
murder is right up the newly created task force's alley.
While whispers of paranormal involvement abound, Tom is
reluctant to believe in the possibility, despite his recent
involvement with Maggie, Liss and the other ghostbusting
N.I.G.H.T.S. Still, he's having difficulty believing the
juvenile delinquents from the local juvie home have
escalated to murder, and there is that pesky hex sign to
explain.
Between dealing with a mother hearing wedding bells for her
eldest daughter, encouraging a deeper relationship with Tom
and dealing with an uncomfortable attraction to Liss'
younger, handsome boy friend, Maggie has her hands full
trying to discover the identity of the killer. Is it a case
of a mugging gone wrong, or is something more sinister
going on in Stony Mill?
HEX MARKS THE SPOT by Madelyn Alt is the latest in
the Bewitching Mysteries series and a winner from page one.
Ms. Alt transports her readers to the lovely town of Stony
Mill and entertains with characters both charming and
sinister. The mystical elements of the story weave
seamlessly throughout as the reader learns, along with
Maggie as she becomes more comfortable with and
knowledgeable about her gifts and how to work with them for
the greater good. This is enchanting entertainment at its
finest.
While her boss becomes entranced with a beautiful armoire at the countywide craft bazaar, Maggie can't help noticing the Amish craftsman who made it. Though his clothes may be plain, he himself is more handsome than a man sporting a jawline-only beard has any right to be. And he seems pretty aware that the ladies love his...furniture. But when the hunky craftsman turns up dead with a strange hex symbol near his corpse, Maggie wonders if the craft involved is the witchy kind.
