The Seventh Witch (Ophelia & Abby Mysteries, No. 7) (Abby and Ophelia Series Book 5)

Overview: Shirley is the author of the Ophelia and Abby Mystery Series, whose first book, Witch Way To Murder, received a “best first” Agatha Award nomination in 2006. Small-town librarian and psychic Ophelia Jensen hails from a long line of wise and wonderfully gifted women. There's her grandmother, Abby, a talented witch, and her great-aunt Mary, who's about to celebrate her 100th birthday. But as Ophelia learns, when she and Abby travel to North Carolina for the centennial celebration, their family secrets aren't just magickal--they're murderous. Someone in the sweet Southern town wants Abby dead. Could it be a rogue witch in Ophelia's own family? A vengeful local witch desperate to settle a bitter feud decades in the making? Ophelia must use all her talents to save her loved ones--before the witching hour comes upon them, and bad blood turns deadly “A Golden Broomstick to [these] most unusual sleuths, a septuagenarian witch and her psychic granddaughter.” —Carolyn Hart The Seventh Witch is the seventh installment in Shirley Damsgaard’s Agatha Award-nominated Ophelia and Abby series featuring a small-town librarian with paranormal abilities and her endearingly unapologetic witch grandmother. Combining the best aspects of mystery and fantasy—a sort-of Miss Marple with magic—Damsgaard’s The Seventh Witch is a whodunit with a difference; a delightful diversion for anyone who loves the supernatural charm of Charlaine Harris’s Sookie Stackhouse novels or Kim Harrison’s bestselling excursions to The Hollows.
