4.0 out of 5 stars Readers Should Be Spellbound, 17 Sep 2006
By Foggy Tewsday - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
The small rural community of Summerset, Iowa is up in arms at the prospect of a large conglomerate's plans to set up a pig-farming operation on the town's doorstep. Abby, a well-respected pillar of the community, as well as a white witch is one of the leading opponents of the plans. Meanwhile, her granddaughter, Ophelia, has begun to come to terms with her own psychic abilities. Unfortunately, her gift is about to lead her to a dead body and the realisation that there is a serial killer in their midst.

After a rather indifferent start to the series in `Witch Way to Murder', this second instalment of Shirley Damsgaard's Ophelia and Abby mysteries takes a healthy leap forward. Ophelia's character has grown so that she now accepts that she shares her grandmother's psychic gift. She also now has the extroverted Darci safely ensconced in best friend status. On the other hand, Abby is still too much on the periphery as a character. She seems only to serve as the much loved, wise grandmother who knows all about witches' powers. In itself, this is not an issue, but the books are referred to as `Ophelia and Abby mysteries'. I think it would be interesting to see Abby more in the thick of the action in future stories.

The novel begins slowly, but the pace picks up and the tension builds nicely so that the reader is reluctant to stop. In truth, it's not difficult to guess who the murderer is, but the killer's motivation is unusual. The supernatural elements that the main characters engender are more evident here than in the novel's predecessor and I hope that future stories will continue this trend.

`Charmed to Death' is an easy, but very entertaining read. I've just purchased the third novel in the series, 'The Trouble with Witches', and I can't wait to read it.
