[Cheryl Davis · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this latest mystery and the race to find a way to cover up the twin wellsprings before the DoD get their hands on it and shut down Gloamington. Malcolm and Ella make a good team. The ghost that is trapped in the bookshop was murdered but finding how it happened takes a lot of doing. Fortunately it all works well in the end and Jess learns to be tolerant of the extra helper in her shop and even to get out more.

A fun and established series with a great group of characters. This one investigates a 25 yo cold case suicide/murder. The DoD is still causing problems with 2 new people jamming the works. Also, Ella and Tyler need to hide the twin's gloaming but fae magic can't be warded. An unlikely pair assist them in the end.

A different kind of mystery

A cold case, a ghost with memory issues for a witness, and of course, the feds. Malcolm and Ella take on this strange case, and I loved it. This story is well worth the read.

Who did it?

Another outstanding story by Sarah Noffke. This tale who did it was a very different . Won't tell you more....you'll just have to read it. Plus, what else is happening with Ella and her children.....yet another surprise.

Loved the twist in this story... Fun times

The story is very intriguing and interesting . I had fun trying to figure out who the killer was. But like all these stories go, more will be revealed. 🤔

Each book is a treasure!

Sarah has created such lovable characters in this series and has her readers willing to invest in her stories! I'm hoping that we get a chance to see the twins grow up and have adventures of their own!

Ghost mystery

I am really enjoying this series, I love the characters especially the animals and Monterey the pirate. The mysteries are very good and definitely keep your interest. I am looking forward to more of Ella, her family and friends, and of course the mysteries.

Not a spooky ghost

Loved the ghost being the victim and Ella and Malcom always get their “man”. Magic, love, mysteries and interesting familiars!

Another great read

A ghost and magic books. A death that they thought was solved years ago but was it? Read and find out what happens.

Not My Cup of Tea

I picked this up to Gain a new badge on my Kindle and it wasn't really to my taste. Your taste may find it more palatable.
