In the âwitch cityâ of Salem, Massachusetts, retired librarian Ibby Russell and her friends are used to spooky sightsâbut when they stumble into a cauldron of crime, itâll take more than a crystal ball to find the culprit . . .
Seeing a witch in broad daylight in Salem isnât that unusualâitâs part of what the tourists come for. So when Ibby and her friends spot one sleeping in costume in front of a local museum, they think itâs just a busker on a break. Until they realize the witch isnât dozing . . . but dead. And to their shock, they recognize her as Tammy, their mean-girl classmate from 40 years ago.
Ibby, Louisa, and Betsy have been dabbling in detection lately, and with their connection to the victim, this could be a perfect case for them. An episode of their favorite British mystery series, Midsomer Murders, provides a creative idea for catching the killer, with the (reluctant) assistance of Ibbyâs gentleman friend. And her clairvoyant cat, OâRyan, may even get familiar with some of the suspects . . .
