Past and present collide in Stony Mill, Indiana, involving
novice empathy/witch Maggie O'Neill in one of her most
frightening adventures. A carnival is the chosen fundraiser
for the local Baptist Church. The groundbreaking for the
church reveals an underground room. The next day the body
of Ronnie Maddox is discovered. An arrest is made, though
Maggie is sure the suspect, Tyler Barnett is innocent. She
is convinced of his innocence when she is visited by the
spirit of Elias. Through the use of the Ouija board, Maggie
and her friends discover Elias died in the underground
room. And Elias has plenty to say, in a round-about way,
about the current happenings in Stony Mill. Though all of
his messages aren't clear, his warning to Maggie to be
careful is spelled out perfectly on the Ouija board.
Maggie discovers more than one person is keeping a secret
regarding Ronnie's death. And her almost boyfriend, Tom,
has a secret that once revealed makes Maggie question where
their relationship is going. There's also the tempting
distraction of her friend Marcus. As her investigation
brings her closer to the killer, Maggie also gets closer to
Marcus, and soon realizes she's going to have to make a
difficult choice, if she survives long enough to take
things to the next level with the sexy psychic.
WHERE THERE'S A WITCH is the fifth in Madelyn Alt's
series of Bewitching mysteries, and an entertaining return
to the town of Stony Mill. The story was a bit of a slow
start, but once Elias makes his presence known and the
members of the N.I.G.H.T.S. go into investigation mode, it
picks up pace, keeping this reader on edge as the Ouija
board spelled out cryptic messages. Maggie is a thoroughly
entertaining heroine, and her relationship highs and lows
provide an interesting distraction to the spooky realities
of a murder and persistent spirit. WHERE THERE'S A WITCH is
a fun read Ms. Alt's fans are sure to enjoy.
Taking a break from her job at Enchantments, Stony Mill’s
finest mystical antique shop, Maggie O’Neill visits a
carnival where she senses some bad spirits. And when a
construction worker is suspected of killing a young woman,
it’s up to Maggie and the N.I.G.H.T.S. ghosthunting team
to uncover the dark spiritual energy leaking into their
town before it spoils everyone’s fun.
This sounds wonderful I'm looking forward to getting it and reading it. Thanks Penney (Penney Wilfort 11:44am August 7, 2009)
