LOOKING FOR MR. GOOD WITCH continues the adventures of
Joyce and Jim Lavene's entertaining Retired Witches
Mystery series. I highly suggest reading the first
book, SPELL BOOKED, prior to reading LOOKING FOR MR. GOOD
WITCH as there are huge spoilers from the first book that
are inherent to the plot. In addition, there is are
ongoing story arcs that make LOOKING FOR MR. GOOD WITCH a
bit confusing if you aren't aware of the details.
Molly knows she isn't supposed to reveal that she is a
witch to humans. Unfortunately, the death of one of her
coven forced her to reveal that information to her
husband, Joe, because he was a detective working the case. She
now lives in fear that even a casual slip will reveal her
secret to the Grand Council of Witches. Meanwhile,
another murder investigation involving a witch has
crossed her husband's desk. Molly, Elsie, Olivia, and
Dorothy will have to gather every bit of magical know-how
they have if they are to solve the murder and keep
everyone they love safe.
Joyce and Jim Lavene craft marvelously quirky characters
in the Retired Witches Mystery series! I love the
bickering between the characters, particularly with
Molly, Elsie, and Olivia, as you can see how their
friendship has comfortably aged right along with them.
We're getting to see more of the other personalities in
the witch world, and I particularly like seeing the
glimpses into the characters who are part of the Grand
Council of Witches. However, it's the other residents of
the area, such as the Bone Man, the vegetarian werewolf,
and the cranky selkie who intrigue me because I love each new
revelation we get about their histories.
LOOKING FOR MR. GOOD WITCH is darker than the first book,
SPELL BOOKED, but the charming characters continue their
wonderfully unique antics. I look forward to seeing what
new adventures will be in store for us with this
delightful series! If you like a good solid mystery
combined with very strong paranormal elements, then look
no further than LOOKING FOR MR. GOOD WITCH and the
Retired Witches Mystery series.
Everyone’s favorite retired witches from Spell Booked

WITCHY WOMAN
A sea witch has been leaving bodies in her wake up and down
the Carolina coast, baffling authorities who are finding

Fuller is
about to be ensnared in her net.
Retired witches Molly and Elsie, along with the ghost of
Olivia and her daughter Dorothy, need all the help they can
get to
stop the sea witch. Aided by a selkie and a crème puff–
craving mermaid, they’re determined to keep Brian out of

clutches. But are they all about to get in over their
heads?
