Supernatural intrigue, a web of lies, and deadly secrets
When a loyal customer begs Tabby Quigsly to look into her uncle’s suspicious death, Tabby can’t say no—even if the police rule it an accident. Dr. Willim Rosemont, a respected psychiatrist, took a fatal tumble down Savannah’s infamous Stone Stairs of Death, but the five people who were with him that night all claim to have seen nothing.
Tabby’s ties to the case run deep—friends, frenemies, and even her husband’s best friend are among the witnesses. Then she uncovers a chilling truth: Rosemont was part of Savannah’s hidden Paranormal Council—the very group Tabby’s been hiding from all her life.
As the August heat rises, so does the pressure. Tabby’s new marriage is reeling from revelations about her husband’s shocking powers, her psychic gifts are spiraling, and the killer is closing in.
Can she unravel the mystery before everything—including her freedom—goes up in flames?
My Review:
Flamed Out is the fifth, and final, wonderful book in the Magic Candle Shop Mysteries.
Tabby is engaged by a customer to look into her uncle's death even though it was not ruled as suspicious. He accidentally fell down some stairs, leading to his death. There were five witnesses who claim to have seen nothing. The witnesses all have ties to Tabby in some way. The victim, Tabby learns, is also tied to a group she's been running from her whole life.
The story was enjoyable, and the cover and the blurb got me onboard. The story, fun characters, and mystery kept me engaged. The murder mystery was twisted, well-thought out, and complex.
I love the characters in this series and am sad to see them go. I have enjoyed Tabby, Sage, and Quiq, along with the rest of the characters. This series is amazing and I'm happy I can revisit these books and characters anytime I want.
