Bell, Book & Candlemas
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
A Wiccan attorney investigates menacing threats and murder at a small-town shop in this cozy mystery by the author of Midsummer Night's Mischief.
A new year has barely begun and Edindale, Illinois, family law attorney Keli Milanni already has her hands full at work. But her private practice—as a Wiccan—may cause her worlds to collide . . .
The Wiccan holiday of Candlemas is right around the corner, but when vandals target New Age gift shop Moonstone Treasures, the mood is far from festive. Frightening threats and accusations of witchcraft aimed at the owner have some Wiccan patrons calling it a hate crime. And when things escalate to murder, the community turns to Keli . . .
As a friend and customer, Keli wants to help. But there's one problem: she's fiercely private about her religion. How can she stop the harassment, not to mention catch a killer, while keeping her faith hidden from her colleagues, clients, and her promising—and long awaited—new boyfriend? At a time meant to banish darkness, will Keli have to choose between risking the spotlight and keeping her beliefs locked in the proverbial broom closet? Or will she call on her deepest convictions to conjure the perfect path . . . ?
Praise for the Wiccan Wheel Mysteries
"Hesse incorporates Keli's Wiccan practices into her story line, with prayers to the Goddess and incantations that assist her sleuth in gaining insights to solve the mystery. A perfect read for New Age devotees and those who prefer the pagan version of Yuletide." —Library Journal on Yuletide Homicide
"Hesse easily balances murder and romance in this holiday tale that's so cozy." —Kirkus Reviews on Yuletide HomicideIf you are having problem transferring a title to your device, please fill out this support form or visit the library so we can help you to use our eBooks and eAudio Books.

November 1, 2016
Practicing attorney and Wiccan Keli Milanni (Midsummer Night's Mischief, 2016) investigates threats against the local magic shop at her own peril.Small-town Illinois isn't always a comfortable place for New Age spirituality, as Keli is sharply reminded when Moonstone Treasures is vandalized. Edindale's small businesses have suffered a spate of recent burglaries, and the shop's owner, Mila Douglas, had been receiving threatening notes for weeks. Keli hesitates to get involved. She isn't ready to be publicly known for her witchcraft, and besides, she'd prefer to focus on her on-again, off-again flirtation with handsome photographer Wes Callahan. But called by a mystical revelation, Keli goes into full detective mode with her gal pal and sleuthing sidekick, Farrah. The threats might be a way to push Mila out through a real estate deal, or they might be coming from the local Bible-thumping preacher. When a lovable old man is found dead in the occult shop, Wes joins the investigation. Keli and Farrah uncover a network of tunnels dating back to Prohibition that might link all the burglaries and the murder to a freshly renovated Edwardian mansion operating as a luxurious bed-and-breakfast. The tunnels lead Keli to new information--and to danger. Half mystery, half chick lit, with a filigree of paganism, this is a cabin read: as lightly enjoyable yet forgettable as one of those beach reads, but in a wintry, woodsy setting.COPYRIGHT(2016) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
