In book three of her Wishcraft series, Heather Blake's spunky yet vulnerable heroine Darcy Merriweather is plunged into another murder investigation. This time the victim is loved by (almost) everyone, a side benefit of his particular witchy craft. In a case tangled in the thorns of a black rose and a mysterious spell Darcy needs to pull on all her ingenuity to solve the mystery before she also becomes a target.
Blake's Wishcraft series is a solid dose of light and frothy paranormal mystery with more than a hint of romance. She manages to blend the elements of the various fantastical inhabitants of Enchanted Village with a firmly grounded whodunit, providing a wonderfully readable series. THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE WITCHY is perhaps the best of the three, with Darcy and her sister Harper both settled in their new hometown with solid romantic partners, the thread of mystery takes center stage and the lives of the other inhabitants are even more thoroughly explored. Don't get me wrong, books one and two were just as enjoyable, but it is always a pleasure to read a series that settles in and matures without losing any of its charm. I highly recommend Heather Blake's books for anyone who enjoys a quality cozy mystery, especially If you want to add a bit of magic to your day.
Darcy Merriweather is Enchanted Village’s newest resident Wishcrafter—a witch who can grant wishes for others. But as Darcy prepares a celebration for a magical florist, she discovers that every rose has its thorns… When magical florist Harriette Harkette decides to throw a lavish eightieth birthday party for herself, she hires Darcy’s Aunt Ve’s personal concierge service, As You Wish, to plan the soiree. But turning eighty isn’t all Harriette is celebrating—the Floracrafter has recently created the midnight black Witching Hour rose, the first all-natural rose of that color. Darcy works hard on planning an extravagant celebration that will make Harriette feel like the belle of the ball. But when cake delivery boy Michael Healey—a former employee at Harriette’s greenhouse—is found dead, the celebration takes a turn. Now Michael’s ghost has imprinted on Darcy, meaning that they’re bonded until she can untangle the thicket surrounding his murder—and what exactly it has to do with the Witching Hour rose….
