I've loved this series since it came out and I was curious how the slow burn between Alma and Seth would evolve and whether it would ever lead to anything. So, as soon as I started the story I knew something was off because now Alma and Seth are an established couple. I went online and checked the book series with bated breath. Have I read about their relationship and already forgotten about it? And then the horror hit!
I missed the 4th book in the series! Has that ever happened to you? It's a first for me. I'll double-check from now on. Also, I got book 4, Charmed to Death, and will read and review it as soon as I finish my current reads.
Murder by Magic can be read as a standalone. I think each book is written in such a manner that you can easily read it without the others and it makes sense. You can read my reviews of Dead Witch on a Bridge, Hex at a House Party, A Spell to Die For. I'll edit this post and add Charmed to Death when I'm done with it.
If I remember correctly, each book starts where the previous one ended, so I assume Murder by Magic is no exception. The story starts when a long-lost friend, Marcie, contacts Alma and askes her to accompany her to her Grandfather's 113 birthday party. If you've made it this far in the series, you know what happens next: a murder. And it's Alma's job to figure out who the murderer is, not as an agent of the protectorate, but as a friend.

Great story!
I love Alma’s story, and the character development over the five books (and prequel). Even though you don’t necessarily have to read all of the books, I feel that it will contribute to a better understanding and appreciation for this books underling storyline. Also, the mystery delivered as always, keeping me on my toes until the end. Loved this book!
