Synopsis
When a guest dies in the B&B she helps her aunts run, a young witch must rely on some good old-fashioned investigating to clear her aunt's name in this magical and charming new cozy mystery.
For four hundred years, the Warren witches have used their magic to quietly help the citizens of the sleepy New England town of Evenfall thrive. There's never been a problem they couldn't handle. But then Constance Graves--a local known for being argumentative and demanding--dies while staying at the bed and breakfast Brynn Warren maintains with her aunts. At first, it seems like an accident...but it soon becomes clear that there's something more sinister at work, and Aunt Nora is shaping up to be the prime suspect.
There's nothing Brynn wants more than to prove Nora's innocence, and it hurts her to know that even two years ago that might have been easier. Brynn, after all, is a witch of the dead--a witch who can commune with ghosts. Ghosts never remember much about their deaths, but Constance might remember something about her life that would help crack the case. But Brynn hasn't used her powers since her husband died, and isn't even sure she still can. Brynn will just have to hope that her aunts' magic and her own investigative skills will lead her to answers--and maybe back to the gift she once thought herself ready to give up forever.

C'était un régal! Ce petit cosy mystery avait juste ce qu'il faut d'énigmes, d'humour et de profondeur. En plus, on y retrouve de vrais sorcières, ce qui augmente le plaisir de découvrir ce livre durant la période halloweenesque.
Après un mois de janvier interminable, je cherchais un roman cosy et ce livre a tout à fait rempli son office. J'ai passé un très bon moment en compagnie des gentilles sorcières d'Evenfall et qui parle de thèmes plus durs comme le deuil.
J'ai beaucoup aimé l'ambiance halloween/automne cosy et l'enquête de ce livre. Enfin de vraies sorcières telles qu'on se les imagine ! Seules les nombreuses lamentations de Brynn m'ont quelque peu lassée à la longue (j'avais plus l'impression d'être face à une ado en crise qu'à une femme en deuil). Ça reste tout de même un cosy mystery qui se lit tout seul. Idéal au coin du feu.
Mon tout premier cosy mystery! Ravie qu'on explore un univers avec des sorcières. Les personnages sont attachants, les thématiques importantes et universelles sont touchantes. Concernant l'enquête ça reste bateau mais celle ci aide plutôt la protagoniste et les personnages secondaires à avancer et à apporter des leçons de vies. Très chou.
Livre audio, VO) un bon cozy mystery avec des sorcières qui explore des theme plus profond que je ne le pensais comme la famille, le deuil, la transmission... . Les personnages sont attachant l'univers est la magie juste comme il faut , je lirais sûrement le prochain tome.
