"An Ophelia and Abby mystery"

Next in the Ophelia and Abby mystery series. Ophelia is coming out of her shell and giving up her polyester. She is a practical, pragmatic law abiding librarian with one little draw back - she is psychic and her grandmother is a witch. They work together to solve crimes and the sheriff is not happy about it. Now Cupid has cast his spell on Ophelia and she is ready to let her hair down with Stephen Larsen, the author of some of the most scandalous crime expose's ever written. It's a match made in the stacks, until the would be lovers take a quiet countryside stroll and shots ring out. Stephen is shot and the sheriff warns her and her grandmother, Abby, not to meddle. But after another shooting leaves them shaken, Ophelia will have to summon all her powers to prevent herself from ending up six feet under.

You can read these out of order, but I always find it best to read a series in order and then you don't get lost in the sub plots of these wonderful books. Ms. Hart is a master of the genre and I am a big fan. When nothing else looks good on the book shelf to read, you can always pick up a Carolyn Hart and know you will have several hours of enjoyment.
