A Witch Before Dying by Heather Blake

This is the second book in a good cozy mystery series. Darcy is still working on her crafting skills, Aunt Ve is getting remarried and a dead body is found in the neighborhood. All of these things will put Darcy's desire to become a private investigator to the test. Luckily, there are both crafters and humans in her neighborhood who will help her out and try to protect her. This book had elements of mystery, romance and humor in it. Darcy is a very likable main character and her fledging romance with cop Nick is believable. I enjoy this series.

Darcy Merriweather is Salem’s newest resident Wishcrafter—a witch who can grant wishes for others. While Darcy isn’t able to grant wishes for herself, she does possess a certain knack for solving problems—including the occasional murder… When Darcy is hired by Elodie Keaton to clean up her missing mother’s disorderly home, the Wishcrafter is certainly up for the task. After all, the motto of her Aunt Ve’s personal concierge service As You Wish is “No Job Impossible.” But beneath the piles of old newspapers and knickknacks Darcy discovers something much more disturbing—Patrice Keaton’s body. Darcy’s determined to give Elodie peace of mind by investigating her mother’s disappearance and death. Patrice was last seen over a year ago after a fight with her Charmcrafter boyfriend. Was her murder a crime of passion? Or were Patrice’s troubles caused by the Anicula, a wish-granting amulet? Now Darcy has to not only find a killer, she has to find the Anicula—before the power of ultimate wish fulfillment falls into the wrong hands...
