This is apparently the 11th book in the Witch City Mysteries, something I didn’t realise when I requested it for review - but actually, I think it stands all right on its own, I don’t think you need to have read the whole series to get what’s going on. Told entirely in the POV of Lee Barrett, recently promoted from on-camera reporter to programming manager at WICH-TV in Salem, the story gets going when Lee runs across a woman sitting alone on a park bench who has lost her memory. There’s enough setup before it to get to know and like Lee, to realise that she’s both busy and successful, and then her obvious kindness comes out when she stops to help a stranger.

There is a pretty big cast of characters here, some of which would obviously be familiar to readers of earlier books in the series, but I think we got enough of a thumbnail sketch of each of them from context that I wasn’t too confused. I didn’t get the primary villain’s motivation for a lot of the things he did - and boy, was he stupid with some of them, especially since apparently he actually had a gun and just never used it until the climax of the story - and I really didn’t comprehend how the financial scam the villain was trying to protect worked, but I suspect that might be something Americans would actually understand instinctively if they know how home loans work there (they really do NOT work that way where I live in Australia). It really needed explaining more clearly and in laymen’s terms. The book also suffers from something many cozy mysteries do; a complete and mystifying lack of diversity. Literally everyone in the book is white, straight and able-bodied. And a lot of them, including heroine Lee, are well-off. Even the motivation for the crime being investigated is about as Rich White Man as you can imagine.

There’s some light paranormal content here; Lee gets ‘visions’ in reflective surfaces, her friend River is a gifted Tarot reader, and Lee can also communicate with her cat, O’Ryan, who is clearly no ordinary cat. Overall, it’s quite a cute story, but I found it lacking in a few crucial areas. I’ll give it four stars.

I love the Witch City Mystery series by Carol Perry and it's 11th installment See Something is a thrilling ride.

The series follows Lee Barrett a women with a magical talent for seeing visions of past murders and clues of the future. Lee lives in Salem, Mass. with her Aunt Ibby and their very "smart" cat O'Ryan. In this mystery Lee is starting her new role as a program director at WICH-TV and she's dragged into another whodunnit when she helps a young woman whose lost her memory.
The woman is a witness to a murder and even though she can't remember what happened, there are people out to silence her. It's up to Lee, her friends and her love Detective Mondello to protect her and solve the crime.
I would recommend reading the whole series, it's amazing, but you could read this as a stand alone.
This book is more action packed and even thriller like, then some of her previous books in the series.

The perfect blend of realistic and magical!

This series is always entertaining. I enjoyed Lee's adventures in her new job and this story was well written as almost a thriller rather than a mystery because they figured out who did it halfway through the book. Can't wait for the next one.

Lee Barrett is now a programme director in Salem, Massachusetts working for WICH-TV. When she finds a confused woman on Salem common she takes pity on her and brings her home for some food and warmth. Detective Pete Mondello is called to the scene when a dead body is found on the beach at a harbour cove with rope marks around the wrists and Pete starts to wonder if Lee's mystery woman is all she seems. Danger lurks as Lee and her techie librarian, Aunt Libby, get involved along with Lee's clairvoyant cat, O’Ryan.

See Something is my second read in this series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Although it is book eleven, I was able to keep up with characters and events. Protagonist Lee brought her sparkling personality to the proceedings and I also enjoyed the contributions from Aunt Ibby. Her aunt and Ibby’s friends really enriched the melting pot, and Salem was effectively its own character, too. Events moved along at a comfortable pace and the mystery itself was great. I had a ball reading this highly amusing and entertaining cozy mystery and I'm already looking forward to catching up with Lee in book #12, as well as grabbing copies of all of the books I've missed, though that will take some time! A great choice of cozy if you enjoy a dose of the paranormal.

I received a complimentary copy of this novel at my request from Kensington Books via NetGalley. This review is my own unbiased opinion.

See Something is the 11th Witch City mystery by Carol Perry.

Staring Lee Barrett, widow of a racing legend. Lee is taking on a new role as a program director, stepping back from her normal reporting. After doing a good deed for a young woman. She’s once again involved in solving a murder!
It’s going to take everyone including her new castmates working together to solve this mystery.

Yes a new reader could definitely jump in to reading the series with this book, as each one has its own storyline. The author also does a wonderful job of reminding the audience of any important past events. I enjoyed the latest update on Lee’s life and can’t wait to be welcomed back!

If you enjoy your mystery with a hint of the paranormal, please give this series a try!

Thank you to NetGalley, author, and publisher for the ARC.

Lee Barrett has been promoted to program director at WICH-TV in Salem, Massachusetts. While she's enjoying her new job, she misses the action of a field reporter's life. Lee doesn't have to wait for long as she finds her own mystery when she encounters a woman who has lost her memory. The question - is the woman a victim or a murderer? It will take Lee, Aunt Ibby, Pete and O'Ryan to solve this case!

Lee is at her best in this book. Her special "gift" of scrying (seeing scenes of the past and future in objects) comes into play as does her investigative skills. Everyone is in on the investigation from Lee and Pete (her detective boyfriend), Aunt Ibby and her book club and O'Ryan with his feline intuition. The mystery has twists and turns and just when I thought I knew "whodunit" another clue would pop up. I love that in a mystery!

If you're looking for a paranormal mystery, See Something is at the top of the list!

I received an ARC from NetGalley and the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

This is a favorite series of mine set in Salem with a paranormal theme. Thank you to the publisher and to Net Galley for the opportunity. My review opinion is my own.

This is the 11th book in this much loved series, Our protagnist and resident psychic reporter, Lee Barrett, has been promoted to Program Manager and that entails many new responsibilities. She does not feel quite comfortable not being a reporter any longer as she is perpetually nosy . She finds a young woman sitting on a bench all day who has amnesia. , Lee brings her to the home to stay with with her Aunt Ibby at their home they share together. Lee is determined to solve the mystery of who this woman is and pieces her clues together like the seasoned reporter she truly is.
O’Ryan is her adorable cat that helps her solve clues and offers feline support. Her job is a challenge that she takes on while solving this mystery and trying to stay out of a another murder that occurred in town.. Salem is full of atmospheric intrigue, mystery and always a great sleuth here with Lee and Friends. I loved this next in series that kept me reading to conclusion. Very well done to the author . This is a smart charming cozy mystery series.

Totally loved how this mystery comes along with a new way of plotting. A fresh take that will delight the reader. This series is so good! Highly recommend that you read this book!

I have become quite attached to the setting and characters of this series. Having visited Salem several times, I very much enjoy following Lee and Pete and Aunt Ibby around the town of witchcraft and sailing history. O’Ryan doesn’t have a huge role in this episode, but he does show up for a couple of assists in the uncovering of the mystery.

Once again, Lee has changed jobs. I wish Perry would drop that angle and use something else for a new element/angle. Also, the final quarter of the book becomes quite frenzied. It feels as if the intensity needs to be dialed down a notch or two.

Overall, See Something is a very good cozy mystery. Perry has found the perfect balance of realistic detail and paranormal elements. I will be waiting impatiently for the next one.

Thank you to Carol J. Perry, Kensington Publishing Co., and NetGalley for an Advance Reader Copy in exchange for an honest review.

I’ve been reading this series for a while, and I think this is my favorite one yet. Lee finds a woman who can’t remember who she is, and of course it’s tied to a murder in her fair city. She, her boyfriend Pete, her aunt Ibby, and a few other friends are on the case and will try to find out what’s going on, even when the path leads to real danger. This one has some really fun places, an interesting mystery, and great writing, and I loved the new twist close to the end. I’m curious to see how things change with this new development. I do wish that Pete was a little more comfortable with her scrying, but maybe eventually he’ll come around. Highly recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

Lee has come a long way since the first mystery she stumbled into eleven books ago. Back then she was hosting a late night spooky movie program while playing a psychic, costume and all. It even came with a cat - O'Ryan who is mysterious in his own right. Now Lee has moved from reporter to media teacher and now she is the program director at WICH-TV. This is, after all, Salem, the home of all things witchy and Lee fits right in. Plus, she has a knack for getting involved with murder.
This time she opens her home, which she shares with her Aunt Ibby, to a woman she met on the commons, sitting on a bench. She has a major problem - she can't remember her name. Not long after meeting Jane Doe, Lee's detective boyfriend, Pete becomes involved in a new case when a body washes up near the harbor. Are the two events connected and might Lee be harboring a woman who might be a danger to her? Will Lee find some of the answers with the help of her gift as a scryer or gazer - she sees things in shiny objects like hubcaps, mirrors and even once in a black polished shoe. Those visions will lead her to answers and danger....as usual.
This is a great series that can be read out of order. Each mystery is well crafted and full of twists and turns - never a dull moment in Lee's world. The various regular characters are people who I would enjoy spending time with, they really care for each other.
My thanks to the publisher Kensington and to NetGalley for giving me an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

I was underwhelmed by the previous book in this series so I was a little nervous that the series was about to go off the rails so this one was a pleasant surprise. I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end. It's a little different from the usual mystery. It's not really a whodunnit - that's pretty clear within the first quarter of the book - but the main question is just what did they do and who all was involved and just how they're going to be caught. And the unraveling it all makes for some pretty entertaining reading! Changing up the focus of the mystery was fun as I read a lot of mysteries and can usually guess who the killer is. Here, because the killer is already known I had no idea just how it was all going to come together and couldn't wait to find out.

I enjoyed the Angels' involvement. I'm a big fan of any kind of team collaboration when it comes to mystery solving and Ibby, Louise, and Betsy are the dream team when it comes to tracking down basically anything. As well, I enjoyed Lee's change in job and seeing all the day to day work with designing programs and I was so glad to see Ranger Rob and Katie the Clown back in action. It keeps her close to the action and the news room but without all the running around. Of course, I always love spending time with O'Ryan, Lee's big orange cat who may just be the best animal side kick there is.

I really enjoyed this series. There's some character growth as well as a fun mystery that kept me guessing. I'm already looking forward to more from this author and can't wait to find out more about the new series that is mentioned in the notes.

This is another good entry in the WICH-TV series. I like the characters and enjoy watching their lives progress from book to book. This story had plenty of twists and turns and the final capture of the criminal was a lot of fun.

This is my first in this series but I think that it stands alone very well. Lee has upgraded to program manager and has a very complicated job, she is also clairvoyant in the sense that she sees reality in a mirror and can use that information. Did I mention that she lives in Salem? First she comes across a woman in the park who has amnesia, but she takes her home to her witchy aunt and friends. Then there's the murdered man in the water. Lots of sleuthing by all! The characters are clear and realistic, the plot twists are devious, and the red herrings are maddening. Loved it!
I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Kensington Books via NetGalley. Thank you!

Lee's gotten a promotion! Yay! That's the good news. The not so good news is that she's found a Jane Doe-a women who claims not to know who she is or how she got to the bench in Salem- and that Jane might be a murderer. At least that's what Lee's beau Pete Mondello, a detective, is worried about. Especially since Lee has invited Jane into her home in the hopes that she, her aunt Ibby, and O'Ryan the cat can figure out what happened to her. I admit to being a fan of this long running series. Perry makes good use of her Salem, Mass setting, has a sense of humor about the paranormal (it never gets too woo woo) , and the characters are both sincere and believable, This was no exception- just twisty enough to keep me guessing, Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. A good cozy read.

I received this ARC via Netgalley and Kensington Books, in return for an honest review. While the 11th book in this series, it is easily read as a stand-alone. It’s always a pleasure to visit Salem, MA, and WICH-TV! Ace field reporter, Lee Barrett, has been promoted to Program Manager with responsibility for several existing shows and one new children’s show. She’s not sure how she feels about this since her promotion came in order to make room for the owner’s nephew as a field reporter. It doesn’t take Lee’s mirror-based foresight skills to realize nepotism is alive and well. Determined to do her best, Lee focuses her first day on updating a favorite show from her childhood as her new program. Reports of a found body don’t tempt her (much) into her old reporting ways. But when she walks home and passes a young woman who has been sitting on a park bench all day, Lee knows there is something amiss. The woman doesn’t know her own name, so Lee brings her to the home that Lee shares with her Aunt Ibby and their amazing gentleman cat, O’Ryan. Lee can’t leave Jane Doe all alone in this situation and so begins Lee’s latest efforts to help.
This is a wonderful cozy series and a great addition to the series arc. Lee’s relationship with her detective boyfriend continues to grow; Aunt Ibby is aided and abetted by her two best friends in detecting the various mysteries. They’re determined to convince Lee to start a detective agency. O’Ryan provides unique insights that only a cat can bring and Lee balances her new job with solving the crimes. I can’t wait to see what happens next in Salem!

I enjoyed this installment in the series.. Characters are interesting and move forward in their life, I like the mysteries and they keep me guessing. I thought I knew what was going to happen, but that bit never played a part in the resolution.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for my eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Lee Barrett is no longer a field reporter for WICH-TV in Salem. She has been "promoted" to program manager there. The new job doesn't mean she doesn't end up getting involved in another murder mystery though. I really enjoyed following along as the murder is solved. I like how Detective Pete Mondello is so very protective of Lee. They make a great couple. This book, See Something is a great addition to author Carol J. Perry's Witch City Mystery series.

I received an ARC in exchange for a honest review.

A strong addition to a mystery filled series. A new job, new worries, new characters and murder make up this story. The author does a great job keeping the reader guessing until the end. This story was a bit different than others in the series but still a great read!

Bruce Doan, WICH-TV station manager, promotes field reporter Lee Barrett to producer and program director for three established weekly programs plus developing a new weekday program. While Lee thinks she doesn’t miss reporting, she is a little too curious about the dead body pulled out of the harbor.

On the way home that evening, she spots a woman she saw that morning, still sitting there alone. She approaches the young woman and asks, “Are you all right?” Her answer, “No.” When Lee discovers the young woman can’t remember her name, she takes Jane Doe home with her.

Carol Perry’s latest entry in the Witch City Mystery series is a spellbinding tale with appropriate red herrings and plenty of twists. The familiar Salem characters are fun to visit, and the complex mystery is well-executed.
