"As the Summer Solstice approaches in idyllic Edindale, Illinois, attorney Keli Milanni isn't feeling the magic. She's about to land in a cauldron of hot water at work. Good thing she has her private practice to fall back on--as a Wiccan. She'll just have to summon her inner Goddess and set the world to rights. . .
Midsummer Eve is meant for gratitude and celebration, but Keli is not in her typically upbeat mood. The family of a recently deceased client is blaming her for the loss of a Shakespearean heirloom worth millions, and Keli's career may be on the line. With both a Renaissance Faire and a literary convention in town, Edindale is rife with suspicious characters, and the intrepid attorney decides to tap into her unique skills to crack the case. . .
But Keli weaves a tangled web when her investigation brings her up-close and personal with her suspects--including sexy Wes Callahan, her client's grandson. The tattooed bartender could be the man she's been looking for in more ways than one. As the sun sets on the mystical holiday, Keli will need just a touch of the divine to ferret out the real villain and return Edindale, and her heart, to a state of perfect harmony..."
Aside for calling someplace in Illinois idyllic... seriously, murder, Shakespeare, Ren Faire, writing fest, yes, yes, yes, and yes!
There are not many cozy mysteries out there that I don’t like but for some reason this one just couldn’t catch my attention.
Keli is an attorney and secretly practices the Wiccan religion. She is working with an older lady, Eleanor who wants to make a will, then finds a Shakespeare First Folio that is worth millions. She advises Eleanor to put the Folio in a safe deposit box, but she is still hanging on to it when she suddenly dies, then it goes missing.
Keli’s job is on the line with her law office, so she has to do whatever she can to find out who killed Eleanor and get back that Folio.
I really just didn’t think I connected much with Keli, though she isn’t a bad character. I just struggled with this one as it was a little bit boring. I have book two so I am hoping that maybe the series will get better as that can happen.
