Set in small-town Oregon, the latest in the witty, charming Witch Way Librarian series from acclaimed author bestselling Amazon Angela M. Sanders features a spellbinding heroine, a clever cat familiar, colorful locals—and of course, murder. The perfect read for fans of Bailey Cates, Adele Abbott, Juliet Blackwell, and all cozy mystery lovers with a taste for the supernatural.

When human bones are discovered beneath an old outhouse covered in blackberry vines, no one knows who they once belonged to. But elderly Helen Garlington wants Sam the sheriff to test the remains, suspecting they may solve the mystery of her long-vanished husband. It’s not a match, and Helen takes it hard, drowning her disappointment in sherry at the tavern—where she sees a contestant on a game show who she swears is her missing spouse, Martin. To ease the woman’s mind, Josie contacts the show to track down the look-alike guest, who kindly agrees to travel to Wilfred—and is then found dead the next morning.

Horrified by this fatal turn of events, Josie asks the spellbound books for help, seeking the aid of Sherlock Holmes. But strange things continue to happen—frightening images flash on the screen of a long-abandoned movie theater and flocks of crows seem to appear wherever she goes. Is Josie about to meet her own Moriarty? It will take all her courage to untangle the twisted vines of this mystery before this chapter in the colorful story of Wilfred claims another life . . .

Gone with the Witch by Angela M. Sanders is seeing Spring coming to Wilfred, Oregon.

Can Josie solve three mysteries before she meets the same fate?

Josie Way

Our sleuth, Josie Way, has a lot on her plate. She is the town librarian, and Helen Garlington has tasked her with finding the man who looks like her husband and seeing if he will return home. Josie is unsure if she should interfere but ends up doing it to ease the older woman’s grief about her husband. I love how Josie is getting more confident in her abilities as a witch and a truth seeker and that she is finally dating Sam Wilfred. Hopefully, Josie gains the confidence she needs to tell Sam about who she really is.

The Mysteries

Josie Way is trying to determine if the man on a game show is Helen’s husband, who walked out on her when she was pregnant. Not only that, but the bones that they found need to go to the family. Then, there is another body. Josie has three mysteries to solve, and that isn’t always easy when two of the mysteries are cold cases.

There was a lot going on, and I couldn’t believe some of what happened toward the end of the book.

Five Stars

Gone with the Witch by Angela M. Sanders is getting five stars for a rating, and I recommend it to anyone who loves a good, cozy paranormal mystery. Ms. Sanders does it again. She created a mystery that kept me guessing and had me on the edge of my seat, trying to figure out who did it.
