Deep in the heart of winter, all is quiet in Charm Cove. Or so Moira Wicked likes to think. The charming town in Maine is blanketed with snow, and magic is murmuring under the surface, but nothing is amiss.Until it’s time for maple sugaring season. One of the earliest signs of spring is when the maple trees are ready to tap for sap, which becomes maple sugar, and syrup, and more. Once the first … the first few trees are tapped, Charm Cove residents start reporting missing buckets of maple sap. At first, it’s only a few and then it’s almost all of them.
It’s a maple caper, and Charm Cove residents are riled up.
In the midst of the missing maple sap dustup, Moira finds herself caught in the middle because, of course, everyone she knows is missing maple sap. Maple sugaring is big business, and money is on the line. Who knew money and maple syrup would make people so crazy?
Meanwhile, Charm Cove is still a beacon to the wider world with its magic being bottled up and sold in its charming stores and online.
Take a visit to Charm Cove, where Wicked meets Good and where you just might find there’s almost always more than meets the eye.

Crazy things are happening in Charm Cove and to top it off it’s maple sugaring season. This is book four of the Wicked Good Mystery and in this book someone is taking maple sap and cutting the lines and Moira is on the case. This is a well written book with likable characters, drama, suspense, humor, magic and a mystery that kept me turning the pages. I am looking forward to the next episode of Wicked Good Mystery.
I have loved this series from book one and count the months till the next release but you never know if that next book is going to be just as good as the last but I can honestly say I have yet to be disappointed and I’m still not. These books are full of Witches, mystery and a sweet romance. The mysteries are not easily figured out and the story is entertaining throughout the whole book. If you are looking for a good paranormal Cozy mystery with a little romance this is a great series for you. Each book can be read as a standalone but reading from book one does help get to know the characters better. Happy Reading!!

This is one of my favorite series. This book, like the others, didn’t disappoint. Having been to Costal Maine, I wish that there really was a Charm Cove to visit. The characters are likable however, I feel bad for the Chief of Police. The witches don’t try to undermine him but they do. Can’t wait for the next book in the series.

A little town in Maine has since Salem a large community of witches and warlocks who live easily side by side with the normal humans.-
This cozy mystery is set in the middle of that witching community, where everyone tries to find out who stole maple sap from everyone in the community and why. The story-teller is owner of a small shop, and as a side-story we learn about her fated mate and the progress of their nuptuals.
Despite the mundane topic it was fun to read, as it was often witty and entertaining. A great read if you want to relax, enjoy a mystery without any thought acrobatics.

Moira Wicked finds herself in the middle of the so called Great Maple Caper – someone is stealing buckets of maple syrup, and interfering with the gravity lines that feed to the processing areas.
Big business in New England – and the season is only a few weeks long, so interruptions can be costly.
A love scorned witch is at the heart of the mystery, and poor Chief Daniel ends up with a challenge once again on how to deal with a crime he cannot fully disclose in mortal courts. Very sticky!
More family connections and romance developments – mostly sweet
Destiny abounds along with mayhem in Charm Cove Maine!

Someone is Sabotaging the Maple Sap Harvest
In this episode, someone is messing with the maple sap harvest. The Wickeds and the Goods work together on solving the crimes. The plot of this cozy mystery is very well done. The family drama is mixed with the magical drama and it all turns out in the end. This is such a fun series, I hate to see the end of each book. I received this ARC book for free and this is my honest review.
Charm Cove was deep in snowfall and Persnickety Potions & Gifts was actually closed until warm weather enticed the tourists back. Liam got up to answer the knock at the door. Moira’s brother, Gabriel, had stopped by to talk to them about something odd. Maple sugaring season began in New England in the dead of winter, usually somewhere between mid-February and mid-March. For many who participated, this was important to their annual income. Gabriel said the new lines he put in were cut, and his sap-collecting buckets were gone. So were his mother’s buckets. He wondered if Liam’s were as well. Maybe this was a teenager’s prank. But by afternoon, several major maple sugaring operations had reported every single maple sap bucket was gone and the gravity lines, transporting sap into the systems to produce syrup, had been cut. Four major businesses were wiped out! This had now become a serious issue.
At first some kids had been discovered with some of the buckets. Were they responsible? How could they manage something on this large a scale, and why? Was magic involved? When buckets start showing up all over, and they find some additional clues, will Moira and the Good and Wicked families be able to find the culprit? And with their wedding date getting closer all the time, will Moira and Liam finally tie the knot that will ensure peace between the Good and the Wicked families for the next 100 years?
This is an adorable series that is fun to read! The characters of the town are getting to be old friends to the reader by now. The story lines keep improving with the various mysteries that keep occurring, keeping the reader in suspense as strange, unexplained things happen all around. Who is behind this latest crime spree and why are they doing it? Get your copy and see if you can sort out the mystery before Moira can!
I was having so much fun reading this book that I slowed down reading so I could enjoy it even more. I read it in a day. Quick easy to read, clean and fun.
I admit that I could not figure who done it. I followed the rabbit trails and tried to create a theory but could not get there. Had to keep reading to the end to find out.
Great addition to series. Book can be rad as a stand alone, but you might want to go back and read the previous books for fun and the little details that you might have missed.
This is my honest and freely given review. I did receive an ARC book.
I learned about maple sugaring while trying to solve this witchy mystery set in Charm Cove, Maine. Who is taking the missing buckets of maple sap? Help witch Moira and her familiar solve the mystery. Fun read.

Author, Lucy May, has a way of weaving multiple plots smoothly together, moving from suspense (light) to laughter of the antics of the witchy eccentric citizens of Charming Cove. You can expect anything and everthing to involve a Wicked or a Good.
Someone has been stealing maple syrup buckets and cutting the feeder lines, right at the beginning of the 6-week long maple season. Can the culprits be found before the season ends? If not some people may lose their yearly income. It only takes a little investigation to figure out magic is involved.
As usual, Moira and Liam are still being pressured about their wedding date. And the twins still want to help solve the theft.
Again, this series gets five stars for keeping me interested and entertained in a relaxing and cozy manner.

A Quirky Caper Cozy Involving Missing Maple!
What a fun little witchy cozy mystery! This book takes place in the fictional coastal Maine town of Charm Cove. This is a town that has magical people as well as nonmagical human beings. There are two rival, longstanding families of witches, the Wickeds and the Goods. They have a pact going down through generations of the family that there must be a marriage between the families every 100 years. The heroine in this one, Moira, is engaged to Liam, a member of the rival family; they are this century’s fated couple.
But the story isn’t about them, really, but the history of the Wickeds and the Goods does provide an interesting backdrop. This story is about a thief who is stealing maple sap and destroying the property of the maple sugaring companies and hobbyists. This spreads throughout their community, and soon it is apparent that magic is a part of it.
The book has the normal problems with grammar, punctuation, and usage. Specifically, commas seem to be a problem, not showing up where they should be and then showing up where they shouldn’t. But it didn’t detract from this fun story with quirky characters, interesting critters, and intrigue.
If you enjoy magic-based cozy mysteries, you will most likely find this trip to Charm Cove, Maine, a pleasant one.
