Book 3 of 14: A Witch City Mystery

See all formats and editions

Salem, Massachusetts is known for its haunting history—and an antique mirror may reveal a deadly new chapter . . .

When Lee Barrett spots the same style oak bureau she once had as a child on the WICH-TV show Shopping Salem, she rushes to the antiques shop and buys the piece. Just like the beloved bureau she lost in a fire, this one has secret compartments. It also comes with an intriguing history—it was purchased in an estate sale from a home where a famous local murder took place.

The day after the bureau is delivered, Lee returns to the antiques shop and finds the owner dead. The police suspect the shop owner’s unscrupulous business partner, but Lee wonders if the murder is connected to her new furniture. At least part of the answer may be revealed through a mirror in the bureau, tarnished and blackened, allowing Lee to tap into her psychic visions. Using this bureau of investigation, Lee may be able to furnish her policeman beau with the evidence needed to catch the killer—before the next one to be shut up is her . . .

Lee, her scrying talent, and her cat, O'Ryan are on the case when there's a murder or two, danger, and a missing pink diamond necklace. Now she just needs to stay safe herself to bring the culprit to justice.

Such a fun book. I enjoyed it very much.
Read in KU.

I love the characters, the story and the series!

I recently enjoyed a second book in the "Witch City Mystery" series called "Look Both Ways" by Carol J Perry.
Witch City is of course Salem, Massachusetts, home of the famous Witch trials. (The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts between February 1692 and May 1693.)
The main character, Maralee is a Scryer (which means she can see "things" in reflective surfaces- that helps her solve mysteries). Her day job is a teacher, and her boyfriend is a Salem, Mass. police officer. The series has great characters- her Aunt and her aunt's boyfriend (who runs the school where Maralee is emplooyed); and Maralee's tarot card reading friend, River. There's also Maralee's mysterious cat...
In this book, the story revolves around a murder in the past, and Maralee purchases a bureau that once belonged to the victim, and has secret compartments with clues... clues that prompt murders that Maralee and her boyfriend need to solve. I love the characters, the story and the series. 5 of 5 stars!

Another great addition to the series

I am living this series. The character's are developing nicely and the atmosphere the book creates is bright and detailed. My only issue is with it being said that Massachusetts is a death penalty state- it is not. When using a real place as a setting for books I feel it is necessary to lend only truth to things of this nature.

A Missing Pink Diamond and a Bureau with Hidden Compartments.

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is the third book in the Witch City Mystery series which is set in Salem Massachusetts. Lee Barrett has returned to Salem about a year ago. She lives with her Aunt Ibby who raised her after her parents died. She is on summer break from her teaching job at Tabitha Turnbull Academy of Arts.

In this book there is a murder from the past and a current murder. There is a bureau with 6 secret hiding compartments. Each compartment has something in it Are they clues to the murder in the past as the bureau is from the murdered person's household. Who wouldn't love to explore hidden compartments in a piece of antique furniture? There is some paranormal activity as Lee has scryer ability which gives her the ability to see visions in reflective material. She is starting to accept this ability and learn more about it. There is a missing large pink diamond that couldn't be found after a murder.

There is O'Ryan the cat who is a important character in this book. In many cozies, there is a cat on the cover but in the story the cat gets a brief mention. No so in this book as O'Ryan is mentioned often and is part of the storyline. The cozy feel to this book is enhanced by the wonderful meals Aunt Ibby makes for Lee and then they have a meal together. I think most people would like an aunt like Aunt Ibby. She is a fun character.

If you enjoy cozy mysteries with a light paranormal mix you should enjoy this series. If you like cats in your cozy light paranormal series then you should really like this series.

Story and characters are a delight

A more realistic witch character , a lovely aunt, romance and mystery all rolled into one series. I started with book 1 and the characters had me hooked. Real situated with difficulties to overcome and fantastic new jobs for Lee. Her new cat, a familiar, her aunt who world in the library and her boyfriend, Pete, who is a cop add a different twist when she discovers she's a scruff and her friend who reads taro cards are just some of my favorite characters. It's my new favorite series and I have read many!

Another fine addition to the Witch City series

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2015

Lee is back and this time stumbles over the dead body of an antiques dealer while looking for dinnerware for her new apartment in her Aunt Ibby's house. She had previously bought a bureau there that matched one that she had lost in a fire. The bureau that she bought was connected to an infamous murder in the area.

Lee is now seeing visions in all types of reflective surfaces. Some of them having to do with the old murder and some with the more recent one. As Pete and Lee become more involved she struggles with how to tell him about her "gift."

If you like books with a paranormal element, give this one a try. This is book three in the Witch City series.
