When town trouble maker, Louella Drummond, drops dead in front of Isolde Quinn’s pet store just minutes after threatening both Issy and her cousin Graeme, the police in the small lakeside town of Silver Hollow assume it’s from natural causes.
… Until it’s discovered that Louella was murdered.
Not just any murder, though. Murder by paranormal means. Dark magic that could only have been … only have been performed by a powerful witch. And every law-abiding paranormal knows that dark magic is forbidden and carries strict punishment at the hands of “the committee” – the mysterious entity that provides law and order within the paranormal community.
Being witches, Issy and her three cousins fear they are at the top of the suspect list. To make matters worse, a secret division of the FBI has gotten wind of the happenings in Silver Hollow and sent two agents to ferret out paranormal activity. Even worse than that, Issy is annoyingly attracted to one of them!
Armed with their unconventional posse of familiars, Issy and her cousins dodge the efforts of the ‘real” police and the special FBI agents while following a twisty path of clues that lead to a shocking betrayal.

A fun cozy mystery with a brilliant cat
This was a fun read. Some unexpected twists, but maybe the romance will develop in later books in this series. Always a good read with this author
I thought listening to a Paranormal Cozy Mystery was just the audio book to listen to starting on April Fools Day. I liked the magical music in the background of the story. Isolde (Izzy) Quinn, the owner of an enchanted pet store in Silver Hollow. Louella Drummond, the town trouble maker accuses Izzy and her cousin Graeme (police in town) and minutes later she drops dead in front of the pet store. Later they find out that Louella was murdered and the FBPI (Federal Bureau Paranormal Investigation is called in to investigate the murder because she was murdered by dark magic. Dark magic is forbidden and carries a strict punishment at the hands of “the committee”.
An interesting twist on a paranormal cozy mystery to entertain and delight. A town mixed of witches, werewolves and regular people who are none the wiser suddenly has a death and it looks like someone is using dark magic which is strictly forbidden. The Quinn cousins must rush to solve the crime before one of them goes down for a crime they didn’t commit. Interesting characters including the animals with distinct personalities enhance a well plotted mystery which offers up many plausible mis-directions to keep you guessing who the bad witch really is. I’m quite intrigued to listen to the next book in this series.
I enjoyed this book – sometimes it fun to read something that doesn’t really exist. The story was interesting and I enjoyed the characters
Silver Hollow is a place that Paranormals thrive- except for the intrusions of the FBPI, investigating a mysterious death of a human townsperson. Wonderful characters and original concept.
Just a cute book
Super fun and light-hearted mystery. The characters are delightful! I’d recommend this book.
Fast read. A little light escape from the world. I don’t know if I’ll read the rest of the series.
I always enjoy L.A. Dobbs’ series. Waiting for a couple of new releasez!!
I may have become a convert to the world of the paranormal!
I love all her cozy mysteries. She is so incredibly talented. She keeps you reading.
I liked the content. Keep my interest.
Would give it a 5.
Entertaining summer book.
Clever and entertaining, but a bit silly.
Whimsical cozy mystery- fantasy genre.
Thought this book was kind of cute. Interesting characters and looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
Not my kind of book deleted it after read the first chapter
I’m not really into the “witch” thing so this is not one of my favorites.
Love this authors books. A original story with great characters. A real page turner from start to finish.
