Who would kill Abby?
Darcy Merriweather
Darcy is our sleuth and point of view character. She is someone that I would love to be her friend. Darcy is a likable and relatable character. She is good at figuring at the clues even if a bit late in the game. What I like about her is that no matter what, Darcy is always a family oriented person. Let that be with her soon-to-be stepdaughter Mimi, her sister, her aunt, or anyone that she deems her family by nature. Another thing that I like about Darcy is that despite being kept in the dark about family magic, she takes it head-on.
The Mystery
The mystery, in this one, is a doozy with Abby falling to her death while going out on her warmup run before the race. She didn't make it to the competition, and no one went off to find her until it was over. The problem is trying to figure out who had the most motive to kill Abby since everyone liked her. Well, someone didn't, but that motive is hard to find, at least for me. I didn't figure it out until it was being explained right when it was most important.
However, magic and murder aren't the only things in this book. There is small-town living, family, doing the right thing, and getting caught up in the wrong thing. But mostly, I feel this sense of love, kinship, and kindness from the main character and most of those around her. Oh, and don't forget about the familiars, they add the comedy.
Five Stars for To Catch a Witch by Heather Blake
Ms. Blake has done a fantastic job of weaving this story together. From the way, she tells it, to the characters that were there, and of course, the murder. I feel bad for the people that were close to Abby. There is going to be a showdown in the next book.
I am giving To Catch a Witch by Heather Blake five stars and recommend it to anyone that reads cozy paranormal mysteries.
