chez_jaeMy goal for the year was to read 35 books, so...GO TEAM ME!
Anyway, I stayed up late last night to finish reading Caught Dead Handed, which is the first book in author Carol J Perry's "Witch City" mystery series.
The story features main character Maralee (Lee) Barrett, who has just flown to Boston and traveled to her hometown of Salem for an interview at a local TV station. Lee wants the job of reporter, only to find it was awarded to someone else before she even interviewed. However, the station manager offers Lee the position of call-in psychic, since the previous hostess walked out the night before and never returned. Lee agrees to think it over, and when she leaves the station she discovers the body of the woman who held the job before her. Lee reluctantly accepts the job that was offered to her, but when she begins to experience actual visions in the obsidian crystal ball on the set, she is drawn further into the murder of her predecessor.
This was a charming cozy mystery, and it was just creepy enough not to be too fluffy. I have one more book in the series, and the third installment is already on my Amazon wish list. Can't wait to read more! Five stars:
★★★★★
