In the Wick of Time by Valona Jones

5.0

If you enjoy cozy mysteries with a touch of the mystical, this book is a delightful choice. In the Wick of Time is a captivating addition to the Magic Candle Shop Mystery series, where ordinary objects hold extraordinary secrets.

December brings not only festive celebrations but also a magical mystery to test the bonds of sisterhood in the enchanting city of Savannah, Georgia. Meet twin sisters Tabby and Sage Winslow. They are busy preparing for the traditional riverfront luminary display during the boat parade. Their holiday cheer takes a dark turn when their boss is found murdered. The Winslow sisters burn the candle at both ends as they race against time to clear Sage's name and keep their friends safe.

Jones weaves a delightful tale of mystery, magic, and sisterly love. The cozy setting provides the perfect backdrop for this intriguing whodunit, and blends supernatural elements and suspense whimsically. She invites readers to immerse themselves in a world where magic intertwines with everyday life, and where family bonds are stronger than any spell.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for a temporary e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.
