Description
When a copycat killer has reporter Lee Barrett brushing up on ancient history, it’s a test where failure could be lethal . . .
As a Salem, Massachusetts, native, WICH-TV field reporter and amateur sleuth Lee Barrett is well versed in the region’s lore. So when the murder of revered local professor Samuel Bond resembles a killing from almost two centuries ago, everyone is on edge. Especially assistant professor Cody McGinnis . . .
Not only did Cody have differences with Bond, he even taught a course on the historic murder. And when his fingerprints and ladder are found at the crime scene, the police are certain of his guilt. Cody’s family, however, believes otherwise and asks Lee for assistance. Now, with the help of her clairvoyant cat, O’Ryan, her tech-savvy librarian aunt and housemate Ibby, and Pete Mondello, her handsome detective beau, Lee will delve deeper than ever into Salem’s past—and into her own psychic gifts—to find the real killer—before someone else is history . . .

Carol Perry returns with another entertaining Witch City mystery featuring reporter Lee Barrett and her cast of colorful characters. This time, Lee is asked by twin sportscasters Roger and Ray Temple (first met in Tails,You Lose) to investigate a murder of which their young nephew stands accused. Lee marshals the assistance of the intrepid Aunt Ibby and two of her pals, who dive into the case like Charlie’s Angels. Lee’s boyfriend, detective Pete Mondello, moves through the chapters glowering at the Angels and calling Lee “Nancy Drew” even as she solves yet another case right under his nose.
Lee and all the Salem characters are people who I’d like to Meet for drinks and dinner. Perry makes them likable, smart, funny, and very human. They’re the neighbors we all wish we had next door. This is becoming a cozy series I am recommending regularly. Fans of the series will snap this up.

This is a wonderful series and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. When one of the teachers at the Tabby is accused of murder, Lee gets involved investigating as she also covers it for the local tv station. Along the way, as she gathers clues, she also draws the interest of the killer.
Lee's boyfriend, Pete, continues to play a role in her life and with the police department as a detective. This is the first book in which it seemed like their relationship stayed the same and was hoping it would continue to progress.
I especially loved how Lee's cat, O'Ryan, took an even more active role in his attempts to keep Lee safe. I also enjoyed how a board game was brought to life.
If you enjoy the genre, you will enjoy this book. While part of a series, this is a stand alone book, however, the series is so good that you really owe it to yourself to read them all. I would give this book 4.5 stars.

I enjoy this series set in Salem, Mass. I enjoy the characters especially Aunt Ibby. The mystery keeps me entertained and guessing. Lee (the MC) brings in help as needed to solve the mystery.
Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for my eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really love Carol Perry’s Witch City mystery series. I especially like the changes each book brings to Lee Barrett’s employment. She’s been a weather girl, TV psychic, TV reporter and media instructor. While Lee and her family, friends, boyfriend and amazing cat show up in each book, new characters and venues are introduced in each book. The series stays new, fresh and interesting. While each book stands alone, readers might want to read the books in order to enjoy Lee and her friends as they develop.
