Murder at the Museum by Nancy McGovern

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



I had time last night to read the ebook novella Murder at the Museum, which is the fourth installment in Nancy McGovern's "Bluebell Knopps" mystery series.

When Bluebell learns she was the subject of a prophecy, she won't rest until she learns what it says. Unfortunately, the prophecy contains warnings of death and murder. Worse, the witch who made the prophecy has renounced her powers and retired to a small, non-magical community, where she is the curator of a witch museum. Bluebell travels to Katydid's Tooth to meet with Rebecca Brentwood, but not long after she arrives, a man is found dead in the museum, and Rebecca has vanished. The police arrest Rebecca's husband, but both Bluebell and the man's niece are convinced he didn't do it. Bluebell won't rest until she finds the real killer.

These stories are short and simple. Not much to sink your teeth into, but good for a light read.

Favorite line: "Every one of us has weird secrets and tangled lives."

Average read, average rating.
