The Amanda Cadabra British Urban Fantasy Mysteries #7

Free

Price checked Oct 28. Prices change often, so confirm on Amazon before you buy.

A covert village witch and her permanently grumpy cat race the clock, and slip back in time, to clear a detective's name in this wry British cozy.

Our take

Village witch, rude cat, and a trip back in time

Holly Bell's Amanda Cadabra books are gentle magic: a furniture-restoring covert witch, her famously sour cat Tempest, and an English village that runs on gossip. This seventh case raises the stakes, with a body found under an infamous tree, her detective friend's career on the line, and Amanda bargaining her way into the past to dig up the truth. Readers keep coming back for the dry British humor, the cast of villagers and a plot twisty enough to keep them guessing. We picked it for fans already in the series; newcomers will get more from starting at book one, which is often cheap too.

Who it's for: Cozy-mystery readers who like their witchcraft gentle, their humor British and their cats rude, ideally ones who have met Amanda before.

If you liked: Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, Cold Comfort Farm

Heads-up: Book 7 of a connected series: readers advise starting with book 1 (The Hidey-Hole Truth) to know the cast and the ongoing family mystery.
