First Sentence: “I can’t believe I actually get to see her!” Margie Coopersmith bounced on her chair with excitement.
Synopsis: When the bookshop next to the Honeybee Bakery hosts a signing for a Savannah radio celebrity's new self-help book, magical baker Katie Lightfoot is happy to provide some delectable desserts. A big crowd has turned out for the event, curious about the book (and maybe to sample some goodies), but the final chapter comes too soon for the author when she is found dead at the event.
The prime suspect is Angie Kissel, a former witch whose familiar was once Katie’s own terrier, Mungo. Katie is at first hesitant to help, afraid of losing the little dog who has become so important to her. But after a little nudge from Mungo himself, Katie decides to try to conjure up the real killer—before Angie gets served.
My Opinion: I still can’t explain why I keep coming back to this series, but there is a delightful camaraderie among the people and friends of the Honeybee Bakery in Savannah, Georgia. If you are looking for a book heavy in witchcraft, Spells and Scones is not it. But what you will find is a group of caring women imparting a little magic to ease their patrons' worries and to heal a broken heart or two. And if it’s a slow day, maybe catch a criminal or two.
