Spell Booked by Joyce LaveneMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the first book in what appears to be a new series. The plot is well placed, the characters are well liked, there isn't a lot of characters that you have to keep track of, nor is there a lot of back story that some authors put in, in a new series, the character's are easily likable and funny, and reads at a good pace.
The three main witches are more human than you would expect. They don't go around dressed in black dress, wear witch's hats, nor ride a broom. They are three normal women, who each have their own lifestyles, families, friends and a cute little shop, that other witch's frequent, and some of the town folks and tourists enter the shop and are not discriminated against.
The three witch's' remind you of "The Golden Girls", but they don't live together, each has their own houses, families, and cats. The witch's are coming up on retirement and need to find witch's to replace them. But before they get their first recruit, one is murder and their spell book is stolen. Molly, a water witch, her husband Joe, who is not of the magical kingdom, is the detective that is investigating the murder of his wife's friend. But what Joe and his partner, a young female named Lisbet, doesn't know is this is not a normal murder, magic is involved and who better than Molly and her partner at the shop Elias, a fire witch, to do their own investigation of the death of their friend Olivia. The witch's council isn't stepping in to do an investigation to solve the murder of one of their own, the two ladies, and a new recruit decide to take it upon themselves to find the murder and bring her or him to justice wither it be before the justice system or before the witch's council, who ever gets to murderer first.
