Witch Upon a Star

by Angela M. Sanders Narrated by Rebecca Mitchell

Overview

Set in small-town Oregon, the latest in the charming Witch Way Librarian series from Amazon bestselling and acclaimed author Angela M. Sanders features a spellbinding heroine, a clever cat familiar, colorful locals-and of course, murder. Perfect for fans of Bailey Cates, Adele Abbott, Juliet Blackwell, and all cozy mystery lovers with a taste for the supernatural.



Josie is eager to show off Wilfred's delights to her visiting sister, Jean-even though Josie must conceal her magic from her. In any case, Jean is excited to attend Cookie Masterson's trademark "Ready-Set-Go!" workshop on becoming a life coach. Then there's the grand reopening of Darla's Café, where the doors are thrown open to reveal . . . a dead man, stabbed in the back. That was definitely not on the revamped menu . . .



Even more worrisome, the sheriff receives a report of a fresh corpse at the retreat center. Maybe murder isn't so uncommon in Wilfred anymore, but two unfamiliar bodies within an hour certainly is! Josie's willing to let law enforcement take the lead-after all, she's gotten into some trouble from the hints the library's spellbound books keep feeding her about the patrons. But when her sister receives the killer's chilling calling card, she'll use everything within her otherworldly powers to divine just who in town has homicide as his new slogan . . .

A witchy librarian counts on books to help solve a baffling series of crimes.

Josie Way, who lives in an apartment above the library in tiny Wilfred, Oregon, is apprehensive about a visit from her younger sister. Jean is coming to Wilfred for a workshop for aspiring life coaches that their mother thinks is a scam. Their family has magic powers that Jean doesn’t know about, and Josie’s been warned not to tell her. Life coach Cookie Masterson seems nice enough when Josie walks Jean over to the workshop, but as she explains her Ready-Set-Go method to her new students—she calls them “crumbs”—Josie takes a quick dislike to her. While Jean is at the workshop, Josie heads over to the big reopening of the town cafe—which is ruined when the doors open to reveal a dead man slumped over the counter, a knife in his back and the words READY-SET-GO written on a place mat. Town sheriff (and Josie’s crush) Sam Wilfred is called, but he’s already busy with another death at the retreat center where the workshop is being held. Despite the unexplained death of the attendee Josie and Jean had overheard arguing with another crumb at the grocery store that morning, before they knew who they were, the workshop goes on. But now Josie’s more worried than ever about Jean’s safety even as Jean urges her to reveal her feelings for Sam. Josie uses her magic to get answers from books. The dead man turns out to have been Cookie’s husband, and it seems every death that follows is also related to her. As more people die, the case becomes ever more dangerous for the sleuthing sisters.

A complex mystery with some amusingly witchy touches.
