A Familiar Tail by Delia James

Book one in the Witch's Cat Mystery series. This is the cutest little cozy mystery, and I really enjoyed reading. We are introduced to Annabelle Amelia Blessingsound Britton who decides to visit her best friend Martine in Portsmouth, New Hampshire where her grandmother grew up. Once she gets there she finds herself surrounded by past history, and discovers that she has inherited the families magic making her witch. As she adjusts to this news she also finds herself trying to solve the murder of one of the witch's which leads her into to danger. Her familiar Alistair the cat is quite the character, and I just loved him. I am really looking forward to reading the next book in the series. I give it 4/5 stars.
