Description
Witchy baker Katie Lightfoot’s search for a killer gets her into a sticky situation with a secret society in this Magical Bakery mystery...
As a new witch—not to mention owner of Savannah’s most enchanting bakery—Katie Lightfoot is still getting used to casting spells, brewing potions, and mastering her magical powers. But that doesn’t mean she can’t find time to enjoy a picnic with firefighter Declan McCarthy…until she stumbles upon a corpse.
The dead man’s tattoo reveals he was a member of a secret society—and it turns out he's missing an object that was very important to the group. When Katie learns the killer was after more than the man's life, she and her Aunt Lucy leave the baked goods on the rack to cool and set off in hot pursuit of a killer.

        Bakery owner Katie Lightfoot uses light witchcraft and investigative skills to solve a murder she stumbles across, but the mystery also takes her deeper into a romantic triangle, a secret society and her own power in ways she may not be ready for. Katie loves her new life: Being the owner of a bakery in Savannah, finding out she's a hereditary witch and learning what that means for her and the circle of women around her who share her interests and magical potential are all satisfying, and sometimes surprising, elements of the adventure she chose when her life in Ohio fell apart six months ago. Slightly problematic are the two men she can't choose between and her newfound penchant for becoming involved in murder investigations. When she and firefighter friend-who-wants-more-than-friendship Declan have a picnic and find a dead body in the bushes, Katie discovers that the victim has links to a magical society of powerful men in Savannah, all of whom are suspects. Unfortunately, another man who has links to the group is Steve Dawes, the third side to Katie's romantic triangle, a fact which throws a number of wrenches into the investigation, her friendships and her love life. But, as the mystery heats up, not even the people who love her best can protect her from a malevolent force, and she'll discover that she has untapped power that could be life-changing. She'll also find that when it comes to Steve and Declan, nothing is easy, and the road to love is full of unexpected curves. Cates is a smooth, accomplished writer who combines a compelling plot with a cast of interesting characters that are diverse and engaging without falling into simplistic stereotypes--though at times keeping up with the abundant cast is tricky. Overall, a light, clever and engaging read. Cates' second Magical Bakery mystery is a charming addition to the food-based cozy mystery repertoire, while the story's magical elements bring a fun, intriguing dimension to the genre.

        Only witch and baker Katie Lightfoot would stumble over a corpse and have the dead man turn out to be a druid. Surprisingly, Savannah, GA, is a hotbed for secret druid activity. With Halloween just days away, Katie and her coven need to get their potions together to thwart a rumored threat of evil that may be unleashed for the holiday. Meanwhile, Honeybee Bakery is hopping busy, so Katie hires a new assistant baker who may know much more about the victim than she should. Then a second murder victim turns up. Plus, someone is testing Katie's abilities to fend off a killer spell. VERDICT This paranormal cozy takes on a decidedly thriller overtone midstream. This is just what it needs to break out of the witchcraft tutorial mode that threatens to stall Cates's second title (after Brownies and Broomsticks) in her promising series. Partner this with Juliet Blackwell's "Witchcraft Mystery" series.
