Witch Way to Murder: An Ophelia and Abby Mystery by Shirley Damsgaard
3.0
I HATE the way the author spells magic in this book. It irritated me no end and since she uses the stupid word in every 2nd paragraph, I'm surprised I even finished reading the book.
The book took me all of 6 hours to read, so not a particularly large investment. It's an easy read without a very complex plot. Nothing much happens for the first 25 chapters though and then it all kicks off in the last handful and concludes with a rather convoluted and not very believable climax.
Ophelia's reaction to her friend Brian's death is pretty extreme and she goes with that extreme reaction for four years only to then just decide not to be that way anymore. Seems unlikely. Her moving on from Rick to Ned in the space of a page seems a bit unlikely too considering she's avoided contact with absolutely everyone for years.
It's the first in a series of books but I'm not sure I'll bother reading anymore. None of the characters are particularly engaging.
