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.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of Gone with the Witch by Angela M. Sanders.

Until the next time,

GONE WITH THE WITCH is the fifth book in the Witchy Way Librarian Mysteries by Angela M. Sanders. I just love this series and as soon as each new book comes out, I can’t wait to dive in! This newest release didn’t disappoint, and I devoured every word until I’d read the last sentence. From the opening sentence, the stage is set for murder, mayhem, magic, and humor, which provided plenty of chuckles. Protagonist Josie Way is Wilfred, Oregon’s small-town librarian. Except she’s no ordinary librarian…she’s a witch with a gift for talking with the books and being able to know exactly which book each patron needs to read. While this can be read as a standalone, the buildup of each of the core characters is a delight to follow. I especially have enjoyed the budding romance between Josie and Sam, the local sheriff. It’s sweet and I’m looking forward to what happens next in their relationship. I especially loved the inclusion of Sherlock Holmes in this newest release, and his help in solving a murder. Sherlock’s banter with Josie is humorous, as is imagining his opinions on what he thought about all the adaptations of his character.

From abandoned old bones, to a decades-long missing husband, to a stranger visiting town, the intricacies of the multi-faceted mystery kept me turning pages. And while there might have been clues to help me solve the case, I was having too much fun enjoying the characters and their antics to tax my little gray cells. In the end, the murder mystery was solved quite nicely and questions are answered in a satisfactory manner. However, there are a couple of situations left open for future books to answer, which makes me quite impatient for the next book to be released!

I was provided with an advance copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Honestly this is just what I needed. It's the perfect cosy (I love this series) and was so relaxing and has re-motivated me to read! I've been a bit of a reading slump (compared to my usual reading speed) and now I just want to read more!
