The small town of Stony Mill, Indiana, is expanding with
the influx of yuppies from the city, and while Maggie
O'Neil isn't particularly impressed by the expansion, some
of the new businesses are intriguing. On her way to her
hated job, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to
Enchantments, an antique shop owned by Felicity Down.
Maggie is surprised when Felicity offers her a job, which
turns out to be fortuitous when she's fired for showing up
late to work...again.
Despite the fact that Felicity admits she's a witch, the
two become good friends. When Felicity comes under
suspicion in the death of her estranged sister, Maggie is
sure Felicity is innocent. Though Maggie doesn't really
believe in the New Age mysticism that is Felicity, she
can't deny the voices she's been hearing and the emotions
she's been sensing. Reluctant to embrace her inner witch,
Maggie is still determined to find the killer and save her
friend, and if she's getting clues from the spirits, so be
it.
Madelyn Alt has written a fun, witty who-done-it in
THE TROUBLE WITH MAGIC. The first book in the new
Bewitching Mystery series, it holds its own in the
paranormal mystery genre. The characters are likable, the
story flows easily and the mystery and mystical elements
are believable. I have a feeling this is going to be a hit!
