A Charming Deception

A Charming Deception is a delightful wrap-up to Tonya Kappes' Magical Cures Mystery series. June Heal and Oscar Park are expecting a baby, and the entire town is excited about the baby's pending arrival. The Karima sisters are clearly hoping that they'll be chosen as the baby's caregivers, because they've taken to dressing up a flour sack and carrying it around everywhere they go.

June is a little nervous about her pregnancy, as she seems to be having some issues. When her doctor's receptionist is found murdered, that doesn't help her nerves. But June won't let anything like nerves or pregnancy slow her down from helping solve the mystery. Magic, mystery, suspense and humor abound as she tries to figure out whodunnit, and figure out whether her baby will be mortal or spiritualist.

This was a satisfying conclusion to what has been a very enjoyable series! I'm sad that this is the last book in the series, but I do hope the characters will make appearances in Ms. Kappes' other works.
