A
Spell of Murder
Witch
Cats of Cambridge Book 1
by
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?

REVIEW
REVIEW
*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
This is the most adorable kitty cozy mystery. A large chunk of the story is told from the POV of one cat out of a group of three. The rest by their owner. The cats have magic that they have to keep hidden which gives this a nice twist as Becca thinks she actually did something since she joined a coven. While trying to duplicate the results with no success a member of her group is murdered with her ending up as a strong suspect. Investigating with a clueless owner and magical cats leads to a fun story full of surprises. Great start to a new magical cozy mystery series. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
