The Complete Water Witch Series
The following four books are included in this
Under Lock and Key
Granny’s got witch dementia, and Boris the goat may be drinking too much!
Penelope Weaver’s back in Wickford, hoping to relax after a four-month trip aboard her boat. Relaxation is not something she should really have expected though – after all, she is a member of the only witch family in town.
It’s no ordinary witch family either. Granny’s developed witch dementia, and Boris the goat is getting used to his new life of brandy and biscuits whenever he demands it. He’s starting a blog too, but that’s a whole different story.
Penelope’s mother is still visiting the magical haven on a regular basis, and continuing her conquest to get Penny off her boat and back onto dry land. All things considered, everything’s relatively normal in town.
When a murder occurs in Wickford, Penny, her best friend, and her sister, are drawn into the mystery, helping their oversized and under skilled policeman friend to solve it.
Four and Twenty Blackbirds
Granny and Boris are tempting fate, and somebody needs to eat all the pies!
With Penelope’s magic shop moved onto dry land, and a pie-eating competition in Wickford -- there’s plenty of fun to be had by the Weaver family and their friends.
When Barney stumbles upon a body in Granny’s spare bedroom while investigating an arson, somebody needs to make him forget what he saw before the witchy secret of the Weaver family is exposed. Not Granny of course – she’s still suffering from witch dementia.
There’s only so many spells a ginger haired policeman can take in one day though, and Penelope is forced to make a decision which will see her and Barney become closer, and the rest of her family accept that secrets can’t last forever.
When Uncle Brian bursts onto the scene in a fabulous display of magical prowess, Granny is happy to have her first born at home again, and is even happier when her oppressed son decides to set up a business in Wickford.
With Boris the goat emotionally scarred by a vet’s attempt to take his temperature, and Granny trying to leave the working class behind, Penny is happy she can finally visit the magical haven for some downtime, where she discovers something about herself which she never saw coming.
An Eye For An Eye
Six missing witches? Who do you ask for help? Maybe Granny, a talking goat, and the rest of the gang!
When Maeve asks for the help of Penny's policeman boyfriend to solve a mystery, Penny takes her boat, and family, on a magical adventure laced with peril!
With trolls, fairies, and horsemen of the deep present, The Haven isn't quite as peaceful as Penny has always been led to believe. There's potential danger around every bend in the river, and a strange power being sought by a mystery man - the same man suspected of being involved in the disappearance of six witches.
With Boris the enchanted goat, and his best friend Granny in tow, things don't always go smoothly - especially after the pair smoke a little too much of the happy herb and plan a trip to the moon.
With real danger present, the gang are forced to overcome their fears and failings to save the life of one of their own, and the very future of The Haven as they know it.
A Meeting of Minds
Gladys needs to get to the chapel on time!
Most people would postpone their wedding if a dead body was found in their venue of choice. Gladys Weaver isn't most people though!
With the help of family and friends, Gladys embarks on an investigation, the details of which span three decades.
Using magic and her razor sharp mind, the bride to be guides her band of reluctant helpers in their mission to solve a murder, and get Gladys to the chapel on time!
With 213,000 words, this boxed set will keep you entertained and laughing for days on end

Magic and mystery and Granny!
I have read and thoroughly enjoyed all four of the books in this delightful series and can't wait to read more about Penny and her snarky grandmother and family. I'd also like to read about Penny's wedding if you please Sam Short so get busy writing. Sam has another delectable series on Amazon so make sure you read it too, you will not be disappointed!

Fun Read
Sam Short did a great job with descriptions and characters. I loved how different they all were. I loved that I didn't like the way they all behaved. It was a great storyline and I'm glad I read the Boxed set.
The only thing I did not enjoy were the spelling and grammatical errors. I found them a little distracting but not enough to quit reading.
Loved the books in general.

it was a little slow getting into the first book and then I became intrigued by the characters. Enjoyed the whole series, even as it became a bit outlandish it was very entertaining.
