Magic, Murder & Mistletoe

A painting that causes you to murder someone instead of kissing someone? Someone's spell went wrong.

Heather went to the party to find a piece of jewelry. Instead she ends up in the middle of a murder investigation and defending a gorgeous sorcerer from murder. Joining forces with the mysterious Sinéad to help clear her name ends up putting Heather right into the killer's crosshairs.

I have to confess I read book two before I read this one so I know how this turned out before I read it (laugh). Magic, Murder & Mistletoe (Amazon, B077S9N4DX, 2017) by Ellen Jane is a novella so I do not want to spoil any of it by giving away too many details. There are twists, turns, and magic afoot. Magic is a fun read and a quick mystery.

I also confess that I did guess the killer, but that could be because of years of Lifetime movies (laugh). It does not take away from the fun of the mystery or of the beginnings of the romance of Heather and Sinéad.

Now if you read my second review, I said I could not really address their romance until I read book one. Jane does deal with their romance more in Book Two and the real issues of their relationship. I will say overall: uhaul. (Normally there would be my usual palm to the face emoji after this (laugh).)

Jane's mysteries are quick and fun to read. Heather and Sinéad have the potential to be a great magical couple. I cannot wait to read the next one and see where everyone goes from here. ✶✶✶✶
