I’ve just finished Haunted, Hexed and Dead by Bella Colby. Here’s what I thought:
*****
Another wonderful instalment in the Witchy at Fifty series. This time, all the fun of the fair leads to a dead body in the haunted house. Josie does her usual friendly sleuthing, with plenty of magical baked goods and, of course, the assistance of Einstein the cat. There’s a lovely helping of romance, a houseful of entertaining guests, and lots of clues to follow. Brilliant. *****
And here’s the blurb: A travelling fair has rolled into town, and rookie witch, Josie Appleton, is looking forward to candy floss and carnival fun. A dead body in the haunted house wasn’t part of the show. But Josie’s curiosity spins faster than a Waltzer when the crime looks more hexed than human.
The local DI may roll his eyes, but Josie’s enchanted baking is about to uncover fairground secrets the fortune teller’s crystal ball never saw coming.
Can she spell out the killer before the rides move on, or will she end up as the fair’s final fright?
Haunted, Hexed and Dead is the rollercoaster fourth book in the Witchy at Fifty midlife paranormal cozy mystery series.
