Book Overview
Reprinted Edition When the bewitching Diana Ravenscroft comes to quiet Tinker's Cove and opens Solstice, a quaint little shop offering everything from jewelry to psychic readings, Lucy Stone writes her off as eccentric but harmless. Even after Diana gives her a disturbingly accurate reading, Lucy can't help but befriend the newcomer. But not everyone in town is so enchanted. And when Lucy stumbles upon a dead body near her home, she can't shake the feeling that something sinister is lurking in the crisp October air. . . Convinced Diana is an evil witch, prominent businessman Ike Stoughton blames her for a series of recent misfortunes, including Lucy's gruesome discovery and his own wife's death, and rallies the townsfolk against her. But after Lucy learns the murder victim was a magician and close friend of Diana's, she starts to wonder who's really stirring up a cauldron of trouble. By Halloween, her suspicions lead her to a deadly web of secrets--and a spine-chilling brush with the things that go bump in the night. . . "Clever. . .a neat little cozy." --Publishers Weekly "Keeps fans coming back for more." --RT Book Reviews "The warm, small-town ambiance and the persevering Lucy Stone make this a winner for cozy fans." --Library Journal "I like Lucy Stone a lot, and so will readers." --Carolyn Hart

Thank goodness for Oz!

Oh you bet you’re fine patooties I’m going to review this one.
First, Lucy needs to learn to say NO! She’s old enough to know better than let people tell her what she needs to do. I used to be the same way, but all that got me was being taken advantage of. Like what the Rasta guy in the movie Never Been Kissed said, “Just say no, Jojo!” lol.
This read was all about Wiccans. Of course there was a murder, like every book in this series, so far. The murder was cold after 4 months and Lucy couldn’t let it go. She was bound and determined to find the killer.
As a reporter for the local paper, Lucy now has an excuse to stick her nose into business that doesn’t concern her. She’s good at it though and always gets her story.
Lucy also winds up in a few sticky situations, one of which nearly kills her. Thank goodness for Oz!
There are a few recipes at the end of this book: Witch’s Brew, Witch’s Cauldron, and Beastly Bugs (to decorate the top of sugar cookies).
Did you sing this in elementary school, “… stir it in my witch’s brew, I got magic, alakazamakazoo?”
So mote it be!
Next is Book 17, “English Tea Murder”.
