Series: Kitchen Witch Mysteries #1
The book was wasted on me. Chili Cauldron Curse, the prequel novella to jumpstart this series, was full of spells, covens, and a family legacy. One Poison Pie, on the other hand, has no magic, just a woman, Mia Malone, trying to start a cooking school in a town that has magic running through it, but a witch who doesn’t call on it to solve a murder or to keep herself safe. A disappointing book from start to finish.
Mia is a kitchen witch who has decided to start over in Magic Springs, Idaho. With her grandmother’s support and the sister of Mia’s ex-fiancé to help, she is determined to get her cooking school and food delivery business off the ground. What she didn’t plan for was the body of the town mimesis in the dining room of her first catering job.
There are a couple of plot confusions, but once you get past them and the lack of magic in the book that is supposed to have magic as the central theme the book lays flat. I can’t say there is any one character I could depend on to get me over the boring parts, so for me, this will be a miss.
