Basically, this is the book version of a potato chip - but it's a pretty good snacky thing

There's a lot going on in this book. There's the usual murder, Belladonna changing her appearance, Winky up to his usual antics, a missing cat, unusual dreams for Jill and her sister planning to move.

My second-least-favorite character, her grandmother, is up to her usual if-someone-stars-a-business then I-need-to-start-the-same-kind antics. One thing that is missing in these, though, is what does Jill's grandma do with the money that she makes on all these businesses? She doesn't seem to be a generous type of person.

The landlord plans a war on pigeons, Amber and Pearl are up to their usual it-won't-work ideas for their business, more cats go missing and something about Winky will carry over into the next book in the series.

It's a fairly typical book in the series. It's good but it could be better.

entertaining urban fantasy mystery adventure series

This is an entertaining urban fantasy adventure mystery series. If I’m cast of characters and a uniquely entertaining storyline. Jill Maxwell is a witch she lives in the human world and he’s married to her police officer husband. She has family her adopted sister who also lives in human world and her family as well as a grandmother aunt and a couple cousins who live in the supernatural world and are all witches. She is a private investigator in human world and also stepped into the supernatural world on occasion to assist people using her private investigator skills as well. Series has a bit of Snark in the character often makes remarks to the reader on occasion. It is a uniquely funny and entertaining series involving mysteries murders and other crimes that Geo must help solve. She can also see and talk to ghosts and also talk to most animals. Check it out

Review

As Jill investigates another murder, other problems arise that need her attention.

Winky is planning a cruise, but Jill suspects it's a
scam.

Bruiser and Lovely go missing.

Two sups disappear from Candlefield.

Grandma is causing trouble for Mad's mother.

And Jill has to chase after a bunch of ghost dogs, all named Rocky.

Just another crazy week in the life of our favorite
witch PI.

Fun mystery.

Never learns

Once again Jill has several cases on the go in all the realms. Somewhere amongst all her business Jack surprises her with a lottery ticket needless to say her dislike of surprises leads her down the garden path. Still a lot of laughs being had in this wonderful series.

Love this series.

This fun series has a great story about the adventure of a PI who is also a witch. The cases are fun, lighthearted mysteries solved by the end of the book. I believe they are best read in order. Fantastic reads when you want to check out of your current reality and enter a magical realm where anything can happen.

Jill is a busy gal

Poor Jill. It seems like all the good stuff in life goes to others in this book. But, Jill gets to help many people and solve lots of mysteries, which is what I like about this book. She even does Winky a good turn. Lots of amusement in store in this episode of Jill’s life.

Well now!

Yes, Jill saves the day again. However, it takes her a bit of time to get to it.This particular book was not quite as good as the others but still very enjoyable. Can't wait to see what happens next in Jill's P.I. World.

Too big for her britches

Poor Jill...for being a private investigator she does have some funny mishaps. Her cases this book were very intriguing, I really enjoyed them.
There wasn't much 'magicky' stuff, but I'm sure grandma will soon rectify that!

Need an escape?

Mostly I read serious books and murder mysteries. Every now and then I want to read something fun. This book and the entire series till the bill. Start at book one though.

Dreams

A funny twist. Jill still has not used her magic for personal gain. Her honesty,ha ha is puzzle to me. I love this character and can not get enough.

Another tromp through Jill's nutty life. A harsh ending for one of her mysteries and a good ending for CASS, though I wish the denouement would have been unfolded a bit more.

Dream on

Danger, missing cats and being framed for murder all in a PIs day. Missing hounds and barking hounds. Dancing hours round out the day.

Jill has gotten herself in some wacky situations yet again! It fails to amuse how she works her way out of them.

I think this was a good book the ending was nice but I think that adele aboot ended the book at a odd time. So that is what takes my 4 stars instead of 5.

More intrigue and humour from the Witch PI with some great cases and even non-cases - the lottery was a bit daft if that was really the prize no one would ever enter it again. What a scam!
The building of the worlds is great and the catch up on the characters from the associated series "Susan Hall Investigates" was also grand to.
Onward to book #33!
