A Spell for Trouble by Esme Addison

5.0

A Spell for Trouble by Esme Addison is a marvelously magical mystery. 

Will Alex figure out who framed Aunt Lidia before someone else is hurt? 

Aleksandra Daniels 

Our sleuth is Alex. She was a risk management specialist for some of the biggest companies in New York. However, after she is put under a new supervisor, things change, and she quits her job. Shortly afterward, she receives an invitation from her aunt to visit. This seems like fate since Alex hasn’t seen her mother’s family in years. 

I like Alex; she is intelligent, friendly, and caring, and she thinks she knows herself well, but she doesn’t really understand herself, her mom, or her mother’s death. However, with the help of her family, she should be able to regain her lost memories and embrace life in Bellamy Bay. 

The Mystery 

There is a death in town, and Alex’s aunt is arrested as the main suspect. This upsets Alex as she recently reconnected with her aunt. So, using her deduction skills, Alex sets out to find the true culprit and clear her aunt’s name. However, Alex is disadvantaged since she didn’t grow up in town and remembers nothing about magic. 

Alex’s family makes the story pop. They are a funny and opinionated bunch of ladies. 

Five Stars
