The competition is heating up at the mini-golf invitational in Crystal Beach despite the deadly discovery on the 18th hole. With a golf course full of possible suspects, Sidney Grace is on high alert, trying to locate clues that might lead her to the murderer...or at least reveal a motive.
But when Officer Reece's smoking hot deputy, who keeps his evenings tied with "investigation stuff," points the finger at Sidney as the leadin suspect, she's had it up to her witch's hat. I mean the nerve! I would make a better deputy than Ms. 'I look amazing in a uniform!
And there's more trouble headed this witch's way. The fierce golf competition as everyone in a tizzy, including Sidney's grandmother, Ada-Mae, who is sure that the leading contestant is playing under the influence of magic. To make matters worse, things keep getting stranger with Sidney's mother, who could be under a spell of her own.
Can this young witch unlock her magical powers in time to save her mom? Who killed Sidney's friend? And what secret is her cat, Mojo, trying to reveal about her new ghostly visitor?
✽✽✽✽✽✽✽
In this third episode of the story, Sidney has (almost) accepted that she's a burgeoning witch. And she's (almost) accepted the fact that she can talk to her cat, Mojo, and see ghosts. But she's not sure what it means when her mom, usually an outspoken anti-magic human, changes suddenly and enters the new mini-golf tournament, and appears to be very good. For a woman who's never done this before, Sidney is getting awfully suspicious.
But what's worse is that she's trying to figure out who killed her friend, and why. Discovering this isn't going to be easy, since she can't pinpoint a suspect. Although she'd love it if it were Deputy Jessie, who's occupying a lot of Officer John Reece's time. Time she'd like to occupy herself...
While her grandmother Ada-Mae is trying to convince Sidney that she's going to be very powerful, all she knows is that it all feels strange to her, and she doesn't have the slightest idea how to cast a spell. Or if she wants to.
When she's driven to head to the golf course once more, she discovers something that could be very telling. But it's what that's not said that has her confused...
In this episode, I was so enthralled by the series that I read it completely through in one sitting, and became disappointed because I have to wait for the next one. It's an enchanting series, one I wouldn't miss for anything. All I can say is, bravo, Ms. McSpade. You've done yourself proud with this. Highly recommended.
I received an advance copy of this book from the author and BookSprout but this in no way influenced my review.
