Publisher's Summary

An escape - that's exactly what Birdie Devaine needs when witches around the world publicly announce their existence.

Instead of performing for the sold-out crowd at her world-famous magic show in Vegas, Birdie runs away from the dazzling lights to her hometown in Mississippi. Back to the town she swore off over a century ago.

She thinks she has it all planned out - keeping busy with renovating an old beautiful house and eventually fading away from the spotlight. But the house has its secrets, including the haunted cemetery that Birdie is now responsible for. It doesn't help when her nosy neighbor catches on to Birdie's big secret - that she's a true witch with real magical powers.

But when the busybody turns up dead on Birdie's new property, the former southern debutante becomes the prime suspect in the case. Cue the ladies of Witch Hazel Lane - a group of women who've stuck together for 40 years. With their help, Birdie is on the hunt for the real killer. Will they help get her off the hook? Will Birdie's true nature stay secret? And what is she supposed to do with the stray dog that refuses to leave her house?

okay...

for a quick, cozy mystery playing in the background, its good, but if you are actually paying attention, the story is not thought out and too simple. You guess the killer by the halfway mark. I felt like the author couldn't decide if to make the lead super intuitive and powerful-seeing as she is a 100 y.o witch-, or dumb down her intuition and skills, so it was a bit confusing when she kept saying she had good intuition, but even with all the evidence about who the killer was in front of her she couldn't see it until she was actually told. she couldn't tell that the dog was a ghost dog and though she could put on and keep a glamor to fool an entire audience at a Las Vegas show, she couldn't shield herself from people finding out she was a witch and she could barely conjure any magic when apprehending the killer.

I liked the narration but felt the narrator's voice made the lead sound like a 20 or even 30 year old, not a woman who looked 50.
