I love this series and always thought they were really good mysteries but this Iis the best one.
The plot keep you guessing till the end and I stayed awake late in the night hooked by the developments, twists, and turns.
The characters are well developed and it's interesting how thing evolves from one book to the next.
The paranormal element that was quite heavy in the previous book is present but in a light way.
The cast of characters is likeable as usual and the cats are adorable.
I look forward to reading the next instalment.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Kensington Books and Netgalley for this ARC

Another winner! I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and found myself engrossed in the plot. Once more, Lee is seeing images she doesn't understand, even with the clues her faithful (and former witch's) cat provides.

Once thing I really enjoy about this series is how the characters have developed and grown in each book. Lee has had a collection of jobs, from tv psychic, to journalism instructor, to investigative reporter. It is in her role as a reporter that has her covering a murder when she has the misfortune of finding the victim. Her boyfriend, police detective Pete, responds and Lee attempts to get the inside scoop on the deceased while also providing live news updates. What follows is a great who-done-it mystery, with Pete balancing between sharing with his girlfriend, vs, maintaining confidentiality with the press.

This is a wonderful mystery with a bit of paranormal that fans of the genre will love. The author is on my must read authors' list. While this novel is part of a series, this is a stand alone book. However, it is so good that you really owe it to yourself to read them all.

I received a free copy of Bells, Spells, and Murders (A Witch City Mystery) by Carol J. Perry in exchange for an honest review. Lee is settling into her new job. With Christmas fast approaching, Lee’s days are filled with special holiday reports about charities and festive events. When Lee shows up for her interview with a local notable who sponsors many of the charities and events, she finds her interviewee dead. One of Salem’s greatest humanitarians has been murdered; who would do such a thing to such a good man? Who’s the grinch messing with Christmas?

I enjoyed this book and thought it was a great addition to the series. The story contained lots of investigation, human interest, and feline hijinks. The plotline advances Lee’s career as well as her personal and professional relationships. I’m really looking forward to the next tale.
