<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"It's Harriet's fault. It's always her fault, not that she'll ever admit it." So begins A Spell of Murder: A Witch Cats of Cambridge mystery, the first in a new cozy series that mixes feline fiction with a touch of the paranormal, and a little romance as well. Becca, newly single and newly unemployed, wants to believe she has psychic powers. With nothing but time - and a desire for empowerment - she's studying to become a witch. What she doesn't know is that her three cats - Harriet, Laurel, and Clara - are the ones with the real power. And when Harriet - "a cream-colored longhair with more fur than commonsense" - conjures a pillow for her own comfort, Becca believes her spells are finally working. Could that be why Trent, the coven's devilishly handsome leader, has been showing her special attention? Or why Suzanne, a longtime coven member, draws her aside to share a secret - a confidence that may lead to murder?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Spellbinding Praise for <i>A Spell of Murder</i></b> "(A) delightful series launch...You don't have to be a cat lover to appreciate this paranormal cozy's witty observations, entertaining dialogue, and astute characterizations." <b>--<i>Publishers Weekly</i></b> A fun new cat mystery that effortlessly mixes in paranormal elements with murder and a little romance." <b>―Criminal Element</b> A fun new cat mystery that effortlessly mixes in paranormal elements with murder and a little romance." <b>―Criminal Element</b> "Cats and magic-two of my favorite things!
