Carly Bell Harwell is a small town girl in Hitching Post,
Alabama. She owns the Little Shop of Potions, a magic
potion ship specializing in love potions. A local
soothsayer has made a prediction....sunny with a chance of
divorce. Now her potions are in more demand than ever with
married people chasing her down in the streets to get a
little magic help to ensure they stay married.
But when Carly finds a dead man in her shop, holding one of
her potion bottles, she goes from the most popular person to
the least favorite. With not much else going on around the
shop, Carly wants to find out why a local lawyer, who she
had never had in her store before, show up murdered in her
shop. And all she has to do is ask a few questions
regarding the murdered lawyer at the cafe in town. Since
Hitching Post is such a small town, one could learn all
sorts of things.
Since the police are involved, that means Sergeant Dylan
Jackson will be working the case. Carly and Dylan have a
past. A very turbulent past, that includes two trips to the
alter that resulted in no marriage. At their last visit
to the alter, Carly had opened herself up with her magic and
took off when love wasn't one of the emotions he was
feeling. Since he left town, she has been able to lick her
wounds in private. Since he came back into town, Carly has
done everything to avoid him, but since he has been working
on her case, she just can't seem to get rid of him.
When the suspect list gets longer and longer, Carly is more
confused than ever. How can a man she barely knows and only
saw in passing end up dead in her shop? Carly knows she is
close, but just can't seem to get all the facts together and
expose the real killer.
I loved A POTION TO DIE FOR. It was also my first Heather Blake book.
As the first in a debut series, it was enjoyable and laid
down strong ground work for more. The characters were
quirky and funny and the story line line has so many twists
and turns that I literally was surprised as the who did it
came out. I will certainly be looking for more in this
series and others by Heather Blake.
