Product Description:
While her boss becomes entranced with a beautiful armoire at the countywide craft bazaar, Maggie can't help noticing the Amish craftsman who made it. Though his clothes may be plain, he himself is more handsome than a man sporting a jawline-only beard has any right to be. And he seems pretty aware that the ladies love his...furniture. But when the hunky craftsman turns up dead with a strange hex symbol near his corpse, Maggie wonders if the craft involved is the witchy kind.

This series just gets better and better. Ms Alt's writing is easy to read, the mystery satisfying, and the 'witchy' part a delight. From my own research into the Wiccan/Pagan philosophy, I found that aspect of this book to be both accurate and convincing. Maggie O'Neil seems to breathe real life and have an actual heartbeat. I'm looking forward to her subsequent adventure.

My favorite of The Bewitching Mysteries series so far! :o)
Maggie is growing as a character.
I love the way Ms. Alt writes in a light cozy manner. No blood and gore here.
This book really held my attention from start to finish.
Very captivating and bewitching.
Great mystery that continued all the way to the conclusion!
Thanks Ms. Alt for a Bewitching read!
Now...on to No Rest for the Wiccan!!!

this is the third in the series with Maggie and Liss. It was the best one so far.
It had alot of interesting history and facts in the book too about the Amish and some of the customs.
This one starts off, maggie and her boss go to an auction. At the auction is a beautiful Armoire, and they bid on it.
They do not win, but the young amish man that carved the peice is an interesting sort. Maggie overhears a conversation between the man and his wife, and the mystery deepens.,
Later, that man is found killed on a lonely stretch of highway.
The amish mourn the loss of their brother, and maggie sticks her nose in the middle.
Mysteries and Hex signs abound.
What do they mean? Are they Satanic or harmless?
Maggies love life also takes an interesting turn in this story and she stands up to officer tom and tells him about her gift. She also finds out Marcus is not Liss' boyfriend, and Marcus is interested in Maggie.
Interesting developments.
(she needs to choose the hottie and not the police officer..)

We join Maggie O'Neill back in Indiana, in the mystical gift and antique shop Enchantments, where she works for a witch, Felicity Dow aka Liss. And Liss really is a witch - a practicing witch in an established community that is blithely aware of the paranormal happenings around them. At least, most of them seem to be immune, but many are starting to notice the increase in crime and accidents that are plaguing the community. When a local Amish craftsman is found dead subsequent to his bicycle with his head bashed in, residents are shocked. Not only was this gentle and talented man killed, but his was the third murder in six months in their small community. Are there supernatural forces at play, or has the town simply run out of luck?
Maggie is quite excited to be attending the annual craft fair put on by the county. Normally Liss attends alone, but this year Maggie is getting a break from running the store to help find some new merchandise. While browsing, they visit the stall of an Amish woodworker they are friends with, and Liss falls in love with an armoire decorated with patterns and bright colors not normally seen on the shaker style furniture normally produced. The armoire had been donated to the auction taking place later that day, so the two women plan to attend in hopes of winning. But the armoire's decoration is credited to another Amish craftsman, Luc Metzger; one like Maggie has never before seen. His craft work is just a beautiful as the man himself, an uncommon trait among the simple Amish people whose faith is foremost in their community. And when the ladies' man is found dead after supposedly doing `one more job' to help earn money for a farm for his wife and children, Maggie can't help but wonder where he'd been.
Maggie and hunky friend Marcus come upon the nighttime scene of buggies that have discovered the body on a darkened stretch of road, and Maggie has to decide whether or not she is comfortable with the paranormal side of her life in order to help discover why there was a strange hex tacked to a tree not far from the body - on Amish property. Maggie's sometime boyfriend, Tom the detective, is also having a difficult time with the peculiar aspects of the crime, but mostly with Maggie's involvement with people he considers questionable because they are not considered mainstream. So we are able to follow Maggie's personal journey into unfamiliar territory that is considered taboo to her Catholic religious background, and also her journey on how to trust her heart and instincts.
I am really enjoying the Bewitching series by Alt. We are seeing characters develop with the paranormal aspect - especially some who are new to the subject or fear reprisal if outed, which I think are normal reactions people would have in real life. The cozy series is engaging, and there is enough mystery to keep you guessing throughout the story. I eagerly await the subsequent in the series, but I have one question: How does Abel charge his cell phone?
