New town…new start…same old problems When sister witches Mag and Clara Balefire moved to the sleepy town of Harmony, Maine, to take over leadership of the coven there, they thought they’d have chance at a new life. Fate had other plans. The Balefires hardly have time to get unpacked before they stumble over a dead body. Local authorities consider the death an open and shut case, but Mag and Clara … authorities consider the death an open and shut case, but Mag and Clara refuse to let the ruling of accidental death stand—not when they’re positive it was murder.
As they dig deeper, secrets begin to surface and the sisters begin to suspect some of the townsfolk aren’t as innocent as they appear. When they discover the killer might be someone close to the victim, they don’t know who to trust.
As if that’s not enough, the local coven expects them to bring their cantankerous, ancient leader to heel, and she’s having none of it.
Between solving two murders and keeping a mischievous, elderly witch with power to spare from wreaking havoc, moving to a small town isn’t quite what the Balefire sisters bargained for.
If you like cozy witch mysteries with a heaping dollop of sarcasm and wit, you’ll love this humorous magical story full of chaos and intrigue.
This is a full-length, humorous mystery novel featuring witches and other paranormal characters.

Not bad, but definitely not my favorite type of book. I Found it hard to finish because it was obvious who the killer was and the ending kind of went on and on. I may try another book from this author.
This book was a fun, quick read. The witches actually had powers and used them. They also had a legitimate reason to investigate the murder-they had accidentally destroyed evidence. I had read another book about this family, and would read more.
Meg and Clara are hilarious and unforgettable…
cute plot writing style not for me
This is an unexpected turn of events woven into a delightful “who done it?”
I love books about witches. These sister witches kept me engaged and wanting more. Very unpredictable.
I just couldn’t get into it, I sure tried, but I finally gave up.
Didn’t really care for characters. Pretty predictable
What a fun idea…. sister witches! Fun, good stuff tied and no little female who can’t cope with a handsome man!!!!! A lot of fun, no cussing! I loved it. Already ordered the next one!! Try it You’ll love it!
2.5 stars
Nothing great or terrible, just a book to pass time.
Love the characters and the snarky Familiar’s.
