![]() ![]() With the help of her Spellbook Club (the adorable name her coven goes by), Katie begins investigating, despite her own misgivings as to what this means for her relationship with Mungo. But, the prime suspect turns out to be the former witch of Katie’s familiar, Mungo, and the little terrier insists on Katie using her powers-both mystical and mundane-to clear his former witch’s name. When the author is found dead at the back of the store, Katie is inclined to stay out of it. The featured author is a controversial radio show host whose advice on relationship issues has almost as many detractors as adherents. Our heroine, Katie Lightfoot, is catering a signing at the bookstore next door to her Honeybee Bakery. Spells and Scones is the sixth novel in the Magical Bakery Mystery series, and while not the ideal jumping-on point, still an accessible place to start. Imagine my delight when I read the book and found it to be satisfying on all fronts, but most importantly, as an entertaining read. I’m hardly a genre snob, but this seemed a bit kitchen sink to me. When I first heard the concept of this series-a modern-day witch solves cozy mysteries while serving up delightful recipes-I was extremely skeptical. ![]()
