chez_jaeBetween last night and this evening, I knocked out Witch Hunt by Shirley Damsgaard. It's part of the author's "Ophelia & Abby" mystery series.
Ophelia is adjusting to motherhood after adopting teenage medium Tink. She's also learning to embrace her heritage as a witch.
Ophelia, however, is concerned about her best friend, Darci. It seems that Darci's new boyfriend, police officer Danny, is a tad too controlling for Ophelia's peace of mind. After Darci's birthday party at a local bar, a member of a biker gang is found murdered, and Darci's cousin, Becca, is the primary suspect. Darci begs Ophelia to help her clear her cousin's name.
Ophelia is reluctantly drawn into the investigation. Along the way, she is hassled by another member of the biker gang, her home office is broken into, and items in her home are mysteriously moving or missing. In the meantime, Tink is getting flack at school from a trio of mean girls, and Ophelia and Abby are at odds.
The subplots were many and varied, but they wove together nicely. I had several things figured out before they were revealed, but I still enjoyed reading along as Ophelia figured them out.
Favorite line: "Just don't pin who you are on who you're with..."
Good story, five stars!
