Witching for Murder: how can one Halloween party turn into a murder mystery?

Witching for Murder by Jamie Rutland Gillespie is the third book in the Bobwhite Mountain Cozy Mystery series. Fall has come to the mountains and the town of Bobwhite Mountain is ready for the Halloween season. A surprising weekend camping is filled with mishaps that Claire, Landry’s mom, Landry and her friends, wish they had stayed home. As the Halloween costume parties start, Mayor Cartwright and his wife, Barb, kick off the season with their party. It’s a great time until a body is found and evidence points to Annie, Landry’s best friend and new resident. Despite the evidence, Landry does not believe Annie could kill anyone and is determined to clear Annie’s name and find the real killer. Who could it be? 

Witching for Murder was so much fun to read. From the disastrous camping trip to a night of fun turning into a murder investigation, this story was intriguing with its quirky characters and outlandish events. In standard fashion, the first suspect is rarely the real killer; however, when Landry discovers the real killer, it was a gasp-inducing moment. It was a person that wasn’t on my radar at all. There is the added mystery as to why Claire is in Bobwhite Mountain in the first place. Landry definitely has her hands full in Witching for Murder. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and it keeps getting better. I look forward to the rest of the series. I recommend Witching for Murder.
