Book 28, 2016
Apr. 23rd, 2016 10:36 pmAfter the game, I finished reading Charmed to Death by Shirley Damsgaard. It's the second installment in the "Ophelia and Abby" mystery series.
While Abby is embroiled in a battle to prevent a massive hog operation from setting up shop in the county, Ophelia becomes involved in another murder investigation when she stumbles upon a dead body near the firm's headquarters. The victim was killed in a fashion that was similar to the way Ophelia's friend Brian was murdered five years ago. Now, Ophelia is in danger, as is her beloved grandmother Abby. It's up to Ophelia to decide if she wants to confide in detective Henry Camacho, a play-it-by-the-book cop who may not believe that Ophelia is a psychic...and a witch.
The story was engrossing, and the killer was creepy in a mad sort of way. I thought it was rather easy to figure out whodunnit, but it was still fun to read along and see Ophelia put the pieces together.
Favorite line: "And as long as we remember, they're really not gone, you know."
