I loved the witch element and that they used the witchcraft based movie in Salem. It had a strong overall story going on and thought the mysterious element perfectly. I enjoyed the way the characters were written and thought the overall story worked with this plot. Carol J. Perry has a great writing style and I’m excited for more.

Loved this book! This series keeps getting better and I love how Lee's and Pete's relationship has continued to develop.

Lee wears many hats at her tv job, including live coverage of breaking news. When a famous actress dues under mysterious circumstances, she is on the case.. along with her police detective husband. What follows is a compelling "who done it" and engaging animals that seem to know more than their humans.

Fans of the genre will love this book. While part of a series, this is a stand alone novel, however it's so good that you really owe it to yourself to read them all. The author is on my must read authors ' list.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy in exchange for an honest review.
Woah, this one did not play out how A Witch City Mystery series normally ends and it was not unwelcomed! I've been here since book 1 and let me tell you I jumped up with so much excitement at the end... I just really hope that wasn't the end of the series. I have a need for more of Lee, Pete, O'Ryan, Ibby, and the others! I also need Rivers wedding.

A Witch City Mystery series has been promising from the start and this was not a let down! The mystery had me guessing and looking for more clues. Though I figured it out towards the beginning, I could have been led to believe that it was someone else with all of the red herrings and clues that were being left.

I really hope there is at least one more. Though this does feel like a potential end to allow readers to create the rest that they want in their mind I really hope this series continues.

This book was fun, fast paced, and filled with clues. Lee really seems to be wearing every hat possible in this one. I only found a couple mistakes in the ARC copy of the book that I had.

I really do think to read and appreciate this book you should read the others first.

#DeathScene #NetGalley featuring Lee Barrett Mondello is a great story to keep you guessing.
Lee lives in Salem, MA and works for a television show, wearing many hats and filling in where she's needed.
She also has a knack for getting involved in murder investigations, much to the chagrin of her detective husband, Pete.
This story is very interesting, with many details about witches, and the ending left me amazed!! I'm not sure if this series will continue or not, but I am hoping to see it continue for at least another book.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of this book .

This is one of my favourite series, I pre-order the books and never check the blurb as I know I want to read it.
If I can find a fault it's the sense of closure at the end of the story: it could be the or it could be a sort of reboot that will promise be as entertaining and intriguing as the rest of the series.
This is a love letter to Salem, its history and the complex mix of historical events and myths that makes this one of the most original towns in the world (trust me I visited it and it's very high on my chart of places to visit again).
The mystery is complex, full of red herring and twists. I guessed the culprit quite soon in the story but i was never sure because there were a lot of twists and the solution was a very satisfying moments.
Lee and the characters are as likeable as usual and O'Ryan is the start, one of my fav cozy cats.
I can't wait to read the next installment, this one is highly recommended.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

This was a wonderful addition to the series. With the ending it makes me wonder if there will be future books.
