Bells, Spells, and Murders

Nicola Sarah Brooks

I haven't actually read any of the other books in this series but I felt right at home and managed to find my way amongst the various previous plot lines.

Lee is settling into her new job at WICH-TV. She is finally going to get hard hitting stories in amongst the fluff. First up is a piece on the immense charity works undertaken by the elderly Mr Eldridge. But less is dropped into hot water big time when she finds him dead!

Her boyfriend may be the lead detective on the case but he is professional to the core and treats her like any other witness, which Lee both commends and condemns, especially when she can't get her unique input to her viewers.

Salem itself is a great background character in the book. Aunt Ibby is a hoot and Pete, well he's all smouldering charm. I likes this book a lot and the weaving lot laid lots of red herrings!
