The Viking Witch Cozy Mysteries #11
Assassination in the Glade
Ingrid Torfa lives two lives. In one she struggles to get by as a book illustrator in the tiny town of Runde on the North Shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota.
But in the other, she serves as a Norse witch, a volva, in the town of Villmark, where the descendants of a lost colony of Vikings hides inside a pocket dimension far from the reach of the modern world.
Usually, balancing the needs of those two worlds dominate her time and energy.
But this time, Villmark offers her trouble enough to consume her. Young men keep disappearing in the fields south of Villmark, a place of no danger in the past. The council tells her to leave it to the guardians known as the Thors.
Then one of the Thors turns up with mixed up memories. And a missing brother.
Now not even the council can stop Ingrid from getting to the bottom of this latest mystery. Because her own Thorbjorn just might be next.

I have read all the books in this series and, frankly, am ready for the next one! Of course, having grown up on the north shore of Lake Superior and having grandparents who immigrated from Norway, I feel pretty connected to these people.
The books have progressed both by following core characters and adding both human and mythical beings to the storyline. I have enjoyed how Ingrid has grown to assume her leadership and developed relationships with a mix of friends and elders.
This latest book brings her relationship with Thorbjorn to a satisfying place with both understanding their path will not be easy. There is trouble coming to Villmark, and this book brings that message closer with more strange activities and illogical movement by those who are most often hidden from interactions with both Villmark and each other.
I liked this book. I like this series. If one is into mythology, relationships, murder, mayhem, and humor, I think you'll enjoy it as well. But, by the way, I have no idea how the cover of this book reflects anything about the books. I assure you Ingrid does not wear a pointed hat, fly on a broom, or wear striped stockings. She does, however, have a great cat.
