A Spell of Murder
Witch Cats of Cambridge, Book 1
Clea Simon
Genre: Cozy Mystery
“It’s Harriet’s fault. It’s always her fault, not that she’ll ever admit it.” So begins A Spell of Murder: A Witch Cats of Cambridge mystery, the first in a new cozy series that mixes feline fiction with a touch of the paranormal, and a little romance as well.
Becca, newly single and newly unemployed, wants to believe she has psychic powers. With nothing but time – and a desire for empowerment – she’s studying to become a witch. What she doesn’t know is that her three cats – Harriet, Laurel, and Clara – are the ones with the real power. And when Harriet – “a cream-colored longhair with more fur than commonsense” – conjures a pillow for her own comfort, Becca believes her spells are finally working. Could that be why Trent, the coven’s devilishly handsome leader, has been showing her special attention? Or why Suzanne, a longtime coven member, draws her aside to share a secret – a confidence that may lead to murder?

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!
DeleteYou had me at feline and paranormal with the synopsis! Cover leaves one wondering about the mystery with all the "clues" laid out; I like it.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: You lean heavily on authoring books with the feline twist, so do you have any yourself? Asking because I didn't see it in "About the author"
Thank you for participating!
DeleteSounds like a great book. I love the cover, the steam coming from the teapot is awesome.
