A spellbinding cozy read with witty sleuth, a lovable cast of characters, and plenty of charm to spare."
This collection includes three stand alone witch cozy murder mysteries featuring a donut-loving, feisty, witch turned amateur sleuth and her sassy talking cat.
An entertaining series of short mystery novels about a doughnut baking witch who moonlights as an investigator when friends and acquaintances start dying under mysterious circumstances. The stories are light-hearted and fun and worth the read. Would be ideal for a driving vacation as they're relatively short and can be started and stopped easily.
Good cozy reading. With having an 19 month baby to take care of these books was a delightful way to have a little me time. Look forward to the next book..

When she learns Lisa is a suspect, Meg decides she has to find the murderer before Lisa gets into more trouble. However, will this get her in trouble with Connor? In Ax to Grind, Meg comes to the rescue of her friend Liz Donnelly. Liz had finally gotten the lead in the local theater production and played in one show and was great. However, Ethan Wakefield had purchased the theater, closed the show, and was going to produce a play his third wife had written and not the one his son wrote.

Meg had been given a chance to read the rough draft of the novel and wasn’t sure Sabrina should publish it. Sabrina told her that the entire Treadway family had already threatened her if she published it. She intended to publish it. The next day, Connor had to inform his girlfriend, Meg, that Sabrina had been killed. They set out together to find the murderer. Can they discover who the killer is?
Really wanted to enjoy this series, but was unable to connect with the characters. Instead of drawing the reader into the storyline, the author actually pushed the reader away from making that connection. The books are written as if someone is telling g youths story instead of the readers living the story through the characters. After reading the first book in the series, I decided to read the second book to see if my perception would change. To my surprise, the second book was almost a repeat of the first book. The actions, thoughts and words of the characters are almost identical in the beginning when the murder is found and our amateur sleuth decides to take on the case.
Love cozy mysteries on snowy days like today and this right up my alley to finish up this box set. Loved the story in each one as well as the characters. Easy to follow and easy to find yourself lost from the world while reading these books! A fantastic set of books right here!
I love to read cozy mysteries and if it has witches it's a big plus. It gets 5 stars for well developed plot and characters. Also kept me interested for the outcome. Out her than a few typos couldn't find fault. Would recommend to family and friends.
This box set was a fun read of Mysteries solved by. witch Meg & her detective boyfriend, Connor. Meg got into solving murders when her close friends became suspects. So like any good friend and had to prove their innocence by finding the real murderers.
