Spells and Spiced Latte: A Coffee Witch Cozy Mystery
Spells and Spiced Latte: A Coffee Witch Cozy Mystery | Jinty James
5 posts | 1 read | 6 to read
Can a witch who can only cast one spell solve a murder? Maddie Goodwell, Trixie, her Persian cat (who might also be her familiar), and Maddie's best friend Suzanne Taylor, run their coffee truck, Brewed from the Bean, in the small town of Estherville, Washington state. Maddie always thought it was a sleepy kind of town, apart from the fact that when she was seven, she found an ancient book, Wytchcraft for the Chosen. Now, twenty years later, she can only cast one spell successfully from the book - the Coffee Vision spell. But when she peeks into Joan's future - one of her regular customers - she sees the middle-aged woman lying dead in the kitchen! When the vision comes true, Maddie is determined to investigate - with the help of Trixie, and Suzanne. Will her witchy abilities help or hinder her?

Maddie has had an inkling she may be a witch since she was little. She is able to see people's short-term future in a cup of coffee & she is shocked to see that one of the visitors to her coffee truck has a meeting with the grim reaper very soon. Colleague Suzanne talks her into warning customer, Joan, of her impending demise but they can't track her down. The next day they find out that Joan was found dead that morning so decide to investigate.

OutsmartYourShelf Now I wasn't expecting this to be Agatha Christie, but come on. The plot was far too simple & you can work out the killer in oh about three seconds. There was very little peril apart from a half-hearted warning note to stop investigating, & finally, the guilty party is caught in a flimsy lie & suddenly they're admitting to everything like Wonder Woman put the Lasso of Truth on them - not even to the police detective but a barista with no evidence. 12mo
OutsmartYourShelf Overall it's too cheesy even for me & the plot is way too obvious. If you like undemanding kinda twee cozy mysteries then you might like this. Best character - Trixie the persian cat. 2⭐
