Bubble... Bubble...
The quaint and magical shops in the cozy but unusual little town of Whispering Falls, Kentucky have been booming with business, with the exception of A Charming Cure. A mortal is selling homemade oils and making unfounded promises, undercutting June's prices.

Cures and trouble...
When the mortal is found, and spiritualist Leah LeRoy is Sheriff Oscar Park's number one suspect, Leah begs June to break the number one by-law: No spiritualist is able to read one another. Hesitant and not wanting to go against her Oscar, June does use her gift and uncovers that no matter what the evidence says, Leah didn't kill the mortal.

Magic stirs...
What's a witch to do? June can't ignore her friend's plea to help her. June digs deeper into Leah's life and discovers more reasons why Leah had motive to kill the mortal than not.

And troubles double...
As if June didn't have enough on her plate, her Great Aunt Helena has a job proposition. Hidden Hall~A Spiritualist University has a teaching position in their Intuition School and June is the perfect candidate. The job has June's cauldron bubbling. The only catch is that she'll have to leave Whispering Falls for the semester.

Will June be able to meet the deadline of a killer before they strike again and the deadline of making a decision about the teaching job before she becomes the next victim?

A Charming Corpse by Tonya Kappes has June and Oscar going through some issues with communication while trying to solve a mystery.

Can June and Oscar make it through this story?

June and Oscar

June Heal and Oscar Park go through the wringer in this mystery. They must figure out why anyone would kill the victim and why they did it in their village. Not only that, but they also have to work on their communication skills to be married. June Heal Park is a great character. I honestly love being able to read in her world. The world of Magical Cures Mystery is a perfect blend of normal life mixed in with the supernatural because of what June and the rest of the inhabitants of Whispering Falls are. June and Oscar have been through so much that I hope this simple case of “oh, I forgot to mention this honey” won’t break them.

June and Oscar are still so cute together. Yes, they are still their separate selves in how they carry out their own lives when they aren’t together. Oscar is still the same guy who is a cop in both towns because he loves to help people out and solve crimes. June is still her curious self about figuring out why someone would do this thing to either implement her or her friends into a crime. I love these two a lot, and I adore seeing them grow into the characters they are today.

The Mystery

Oscar and Colton must figure out who would kill the mortal within their town limits and why they would do it. Is the killer one of them, or did they upset another mortal? Well, Oscar also has June helping out as well since sometimes people talk to her better than anyone else. That and her gift is helpful with weeding through the suspects. They have their work cut out for them as they enter the mortal’s life to see what is going on. I didn’t get who the killer was or why until the reveal. I admit it I fell for a red herring….again. It happens when they seem like the most likely person to commit the crime.

Five Stars

A Charming Corpse by Tonya Kappes is another well-crafted mystery. Many moving parts were happening that made it hard for the Parks to communicate with each other, but it all worked out in the end like any good thing. June and Oscar will make a cute family one day when they finally have a baby together. My dogs aren’t a great help with sniffing out the killers. Oh well, maybe next time they can be helpful. I am off to the next book of this series which happens to be my last one.

I am giving A Charming Corpse by Tonya Kappes five stars and a massive recommendation for this series. If you haven’t picked it up yet, you should. It’s a great one that keeps me laughing and thoroughly entertained with trying to figure out who could have done it!
