( )This is the thirs book in the Bewitching Mystery series by Madelyn Alt. I really enjoy this series. The characters are believable and likeable. The mystery is entertaining and keeps you guessing until the end. This series is a good, qucik, fun read that I would definetly recommend. #3 Maggie O’Neill paranormal mystery, latest in the so-called “Bewitching” mysteries. Wanted to get just one more series completed this month, and this one is wishlisted by a ton of folks at paperbackswap so decided to read it and move it along to the next on the list. I enjoyed this book more than the last one—not sure why, really. I like Maggie’s character, though I think she might be heading into Stephanie Plum territory—torn between two men and all that, which would be mightily annoying to me. I hope the author decides to pick one or another and get on with it and doesn’t further degrade the series by making it a romance in the guise of a mystery. ::sigh:: In this book, an Amish man is murdered brutally, and at first seems to be part of a growing trend of violence against the area’s Amish. But further investigation indicates that this was a personal attack against Luc, and that is borne out as Maggie works with her sometime-boyfriend Tom, a policeman, as well as the members of N.I.G.H.T.S., the local ‘ghostbusters.’ Once again, I have to say the ‘witchy bits’ are done well and I'm hoping the author is continuing the series--I don't see any word of a new one yet. In this third volume of the Bewitching series, Maggie and her boss Liss go to a craft show and fall in love with an armoire by their Amish friend Eli and a young Amish man. Liss loses the armoire in the auction, and that day the young Amish craftsman is found murdered. Maggie and her friends are drawn into the case. I really enjoyed this book. I continue to like the characters, and this time the plot was better than in book 3. The Amish back story adds interest. Recommended. A fun continuation of the Bewitching Mysteries series, "Hex Marks The Spot" again finds Maggie involved in a murder investigation, when an Amish artisan is bludgeoned outside the small town of Stony Mill. I like a mystery where the clues are clear enough that the reader can figure things out just a bit before the reveal. Alt does a good job of this, though perhaps I had it figured out a little too early. Nonetheless, I had fun returning to the characters, and enjoyed the heating romantic triangle between Maggie, Tom the cop, and Marcus the witch. Personally, I'm rooting for Marcus, but we'll see. 0.045 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0425218708, Mass Market Paperback)While her boss becomes entranced with a beautiful armoire at the countywide craft bazaar, Maggie can't help noticing the Amish craftsman who made it. Though his clothes may be plain, he himself is more handsome than a man sporting a jawline-only beard has any right to be. And he seems pretty aware that the ladies love his...furniture. But when the hunky craftsman turns up dead with a strange hex symbol near his corpse, Maggie wonders if the craft involved is the witchy kind.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:08 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
