Witch Way to Murder: An Ophelia and Abby Mystery by Shirley Damsgaard
3.0
Ophelia Jensen leads a fairly normal life in small town Iowa, if you think having a witch for a grandma, possessing pyschic abilities, and getting caught up in murder cases are normal, that is. Five years prior, Ophelia has a premonition of her best friends murder, however, it doesn't help her save his life. Now rejecting her gift could cost her own life.
Damsgaard's story if fun with a town full of great characters, recoginizable in just about any small Iowa town. However, some of those characters are bit over done, creating stereotypes and cliches rather than true people. The story is fast paced and enjoyable, although a bit predictable at times.
All in all, this is a great summer read and enjoyable enought that I am looking forward to following along in further adventures as I am sure that Damsgaard will mature as a writer, creating even better storylines.
