Will Minnie find a way to stay in Bath and solve a mystery?
Minnie Wells
Minnie Wells is our main character and point-of-view character. She is a hoot. We follow along in her story as she discovers how to work her magic and finding a good way to stay in Bath. Minnie is in her late twenties and is going through a divorce when she starts on her journey to have a better life. She is a nice person who decides to help solve a murder while trying to figure out a way to get the tea room owner to give her a chance to work there. I like Minnie because she is a fun character and I love reading from her point of view. She wants to be a writer, which I think is pretty funny, and she likes Jane Austen.
The Mystery
The mystery revolves around one of the butlers dying from a peanut allergy. Minnie is trying to figure out who could have killed him, why they wanted to kill him, and how he got peanuts into his system. Brock Remington, the victim, had many people angry with him, and he didn't care. Minnie has a fun time trying to solve this one and it is pretty interesting who actually did it and why.
Five Stars
Spelling the Tea by Erin Johnson is an enchanting paranormal cozy mystery that keeps the reader on their toes. Ms. Johnson has done a fantastic job of crafting this story. This new series has nothing to do with her last two series, but it's great. I'm curious to see how this location-based witchcraft actually works since I never heard of it before, and it is always great to see what Ms. Johnson's imagination can come up with in her stories. I am giving this book five stars and recommending it to anyone that likes paranormal cozies with the perfect amount of humor.
