Cates, Bailey

Katie Lightfoot, Savannah's magical baker, wields her special touch with a movie crew struggling after one of its members dies suspiciously...

This paranormal cozy takes on a decidedly thriller overtone midstream. This is just what it needs to break out of the witchcraft tutorial mode that threatens to stall Cates's second title (after Brownies and Broomsticks) in her promising series. Partner this with Juliet Blackwell's "Witchcraft Mystery" series.

Let Cates cast her spell over you with this charming debut series entry that brings in the paranormal but never forgets the warmth that cozy readers often request. Solving crimes using witchcraft might not be to everyone's taste, but it's hard to argue with these recipes. Cates also writes as Cricket McRae.
