A Magical Misfits Mystery, Book 1
(Cozy) Mystery
Date Published: 1 July 2020
Publisher: Literary Wanderlust, Denver, Colorado
Myrtle’s aunt is dead—murdered—and she has inherited the Witch’s Retreat, a Bed and Breakfast in the idyllic village of Avebury. Filled with outrageous characters, the old house hides a mystery under its eaves. Everybody is a suspect: Alan, the blue-eyed police constable; Chris, the proverbial dark and handsome stranger; Myrtle’s curvy cousin Daisy; and even Tiddles, the flatulent cat. As Myrtle takes on the mantle of amateur sleuth, she bumbles along in search of answers, digging deeper and deeper among the tangled roots of her family’s history. The secrets she uncovers are more shocking than death: a hidden magical relic, a coven of amateur witches eager to gather her into the fold, and modern witch hunters on the prowl.
My Review
This is just a fun read. It’s light and humorous and a
little quirky. So how can a murder mystery have me giggling? It’s very cozy-like. It has an inn called Witches Retreat. It has a couple of handsome men involved.
It has a grammar schoolteacher involved feeling very guilty that she ignored
what turned out to be her aunt’s last call...ever. And of course it has a dead
body.
The paranormal genre is not my favorite. I’m a very black
and white thinker so it doesn’t fit. However, I started this and didn’t put it
down. The paranormal never interfered with what turned out to be a quick,
humorous read. Sort of a feel-good murder mystery. Is that possible?
In My Attic is Book 1 of a series titled “A Magical Misfits
Mystery”. I don’t see other books published by Lina Hansen. If this is a debut,
she is off to a good start and hopefully writing Book 2.
