Lee Barrett is covering the murder of local professor and finds that the main suspect is the nephew of family friends. Now she’s covering the case for WICH-TV and with her Aunt Ibby and the Angels trying to prove the young man’s innocence. The strangest part is that the murder mirrors a very similar murder from long ago Salem…and Lee does not believe in coincidences.

With Lee’s detective boyfriend, Pete, working the case as well, the murder stays front and present in Lee’s mind. Add in her visions that aren’t clicking together for her yet, she’s working nonstop to piece it all together and figure out whodunit before the wrong man is convicted of a crime he didn’t commit.

I love all things Salem, and this series wraps in so many of the local places and lore that each book is like a visit to the City of Witches. The characters come to life and you lose all track of time as you drop right into the story. Highly recommend this series.

This is a wonderful series and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. When one of the teachers at the Tabby is accused of murder, Lee gets involved investigating as she also covers it for the local tv station. Along the way, as she gathers clues, she also draws the interest of the killer.

Lee's boyfriend, Pete, continues to play a role in her life and with the police department as a detective. This is the first book in which it seemed like their relationship stayed the same and was hoping it would continue to progress.

I especially loved how Lee's cat, O'Ryan, took an even more active role in his attempts to keep Lee safe. I also enjoyed how a board game was brought to life.

If you enjoy the genre, you will enjoy this book. While part of a series, this is a stand alone book, however, the series is so good that you really owe it to yourself to read them all. I would give this book 4.5 stars.

This was really disappointing. It felt pretty phoned in with the killer being clearly telegraphed from early on in the book. As well, the completely inappropriate relationship between a student and teacher which no one batted an eye at? Not at all what I expect from this series. 2.5 stars.


I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not paid for this review.
