Witch Way Librarian Mysteries

Librarian Josie Way moved to small-town Oregon to lay low. Instead, thanks to newfound magic abilities-and a killer on the loose-she's leapt out of the frying pan and into a cauldron of trouble ... Josie Way loved working among the Library of Congress's leather-scented stacks-until she uncovered corruption and made herself a target. As Wilfred, Oregon's new librarian, Josie can stay undercover until the case goes to court. But life in this little town isn't as subdued as she expected. The library, housed in a Victorian mansion, is slated to be bulldozed. Still digesting the news that her safe haven is about to become scrap lumber, Josie discovers a body in the woods ... Almost as shocking, Josie learns that she's descended from a long line of witches-and her powers have suddenly sprung to life. With help from a spoiled alley cat who just may be her familiar, Josie's thumbing through a catalog of suspects, hoping she can conjure a way to save her library-and her life ...

Finding your feet in a new job isn't always easy. That goes double for Josie Way, who's settling in as Wilfred, Oregon's, new librarian-and has just discovered she's a witch. But will her fledgling powers be enough to save her from a spell of murder? While Josie develops her witchcraft with the help of letters left by her grandmother, there are other changes happening in her new hometown. A retreat center is being built at the old mill site, and rumor has it that the location is cursed. That piques Josie's interest almost as much as Sam Wilfred, handsome FBI agent and descendent of the town's founder... When Sam's soon-to-be ex-wife, Fiona, goes missing at the same time that a bloodied weapon is found, Josie enlists her witchy insight, and her cat familiar, to clear Sam's name. But then the mill project's architect is found dead, and it's clear that someone has been drawing up a vicious plan. Now Josie will have to divine her way out of fatal mischief, before this deadly trouble turns double...

Just when residents thought life was settling down in small-town Wilfred, Oregon, poison pen letters begin to arrive. Who can celebrate the retreat’s success or the opening of The Wallingford Guesthouse when secrets and less than neighborly transgressions are aired? Librarian Josie Way is lucky to be a witch, since the spellbound books know plenty about murders… Surprised by an unexpected visit from her oddly pensive mother, Josie hopes to distract her with a visit to the Aerie, the clifftop manor where the recently passed Reverend Clarence Duffy lived. Inside, however, Josie hears hissed warnings from boxes of the preacher’s old books, and once home, from the library’s detective novels. When Wilfred residents start to receive threatening letters the next day, the witch-in-training is determined to uncover the missives’ author… But not before the dead body of one of the reverend’s sons is discovered at the bottom of the cliff. Unsettled by the Wilfred residents’ crumbling friendships, and by her mother’s reason for her visit, Josie has her hands full of dilemmas. Sheriff Sam is no help, he laughs off the letter he receives. Then Josie finds one addressed to her, stating that the author “knows her secret.” Josie must trust her fledgling sorcery, as well as a bit of magic from a surprising source, to uncover the poison pen before anyone else receives a deadly delivery .

Small-town Wilfred, Oregon, is poised to step into the limelight, and the citizens behind the renovation of the old movie palace-into a brew pub-certainly want that to continue. Until librarian and apprentice witch Josie Way discovers a dead body . . . Local librarian Josie Way's life is in shambles. Her magical abilities are on the fritz, and her relationship with sexy sheriff Sam has cooled way off since she told him she's a witch. On top of that, Josie senses a bad energy she can't explain, which seems to be interrupting her connection with the spellbound library books, usually her sure-fire way to get to the bottom of any mystery. When she wakes to a fierce pounding in the library's atrium, she hurries there-only to find a corpse. But after she goes for the phone to call Sam, she returns to the atrium to find the body gone-and all the doors and window are still locked. And that's just the beginning of a mystery that features Josie as the prime suspect, several shady characters, and possible long-lost relatives. It's just like the beginning of an old movie, but Josie will need a lot more direction than her grandmother's magic lessons will provide . . .
