Charmed Bones

Three Wiccan sisters are in the midst of a showdown with the Sunflower County Board of Education. They want to open a Wiccan school in Zinnia, Mississippi, and the conservative town vows to do anything necessary to stop them from opening their school. Sarah Booth and her partner in the detective agency, Tinkie Bellcase, are enlisted to investigate the Wiccan sisters' real reasons for coming to town. The trio rented a manor house and land from a reclusive local artist, Trevor Musgrove. When Trevor Musgrove is found dead, all evidence seems to point directly at the sisters. -- adapted from publisher info.

A Sarah Booth Delaney Mystery

Judy Hudgins

My first Carolyn Haines book and now I need to go back and read more of her writing. A cute, no-brainer read which I really enjoyed. Just in time for Halloween, three witches and a town trying to get rid of them.

This time, in her latest mystery in this “enchanting” (Publishers Weekly) series, Sarah Booth Delaney is getting schooled in murder. . . Faith, Hope, and Charity are sister witches who have come to Zinnia, Mississippi, to open a Wiccan boarding school on an old dairy farm. Soon, tensions rise to a boil—and bodies begin to pile up. Enter private investigator Sarah Booth. She has been hired to find a missing youth whose mother, Kitten, is convinced that her son was abducted by the sister witches—and, for reasons of her own, she’s willing to do whatever it takes to drive the witches away for good. When Sarah Booth and her partner, Tinkie, find the boy, unharmed, it is only the beginning of a series of events that include midnight dances under a full moon, love potions, and murder. Do Faith, Hope, and Charity really have magical powers, as they claim? Are they criminals—or victims of something more sinister that has taken hold of this tranquil, Southern town...? “A sure pleaser in both the mystery and the romance department...A satisfying cozy Southern whodunit.”—RT Book Reviews
