About this listen
Now you see her...now you don’t.
When Ruth Townsend discovers Tessa Martin’s body in an abandoned factory, sprawled across a Ouija board, she does the responsible thing and calls 911. But by the time Sheriff Blevins arrives, the girl’s body has vanished.
Blevins is convinced that Tessa is playing an elaborate hoax. But Ruth and her daughter, Cassie, know better. They both saw the body.
Ruth is certain the sheriff is hiding something, and it all seems connected to the odd cult holding a revival up in the mountains. With her best friend Wren by her side, she decides to investigate. Will Ruth and Wren figure out what happened to Tessa Martin, or will the killer slither away?

Quinn Victoria Caine is back in her quirky town of Vienna, Virginia, starting her new life as a bookbinder in her family-owned bookshop. With her trusty German Shephard RBG - Ruff Barker Ginsburg - by her side, what can go wrong? Okay, sure, bumping into her ex Scott or her former high-school nemesis Tricia is a drag. It certainly doesn't help that they’ve acquired the new hobby of shoving their recent engagement in her face every chance they get. But that doesn't mean Quinn wanted to find Tricia dead in the road. So why does half the town think she may have done it?

Every town has its secrets, but no one has a secret like hers. Amber Blackwood, lifelong resident of Edgehill, Oregon, has earned a reputation for being a semi-reclusive odd duck. Her store The Quirky Whisker is full of curiosities, from extremely potent sleepy teas and ever-burning candles to kids' toys that seem to run endlessly without the aid of batteries.

The more I listen the more I like
I liked the first story enough to buy the second one. It was good as well but I think it is the third one that really excelled. The characters have developed and the story has become more sophisticated. I hope there is more in the series to come.

Fun cozy mystery
Ruth Townsend welcomes us back to her town and yet another mystery. This time a young woman is found in an abandoned factory next to an Ouija board. While the town sheriff believes it is a hoax, Ruth can't help but wonder if it is more. Along with Wren, the two women set their sights on solving the mystery since the sheriff will not.
These stories remind me a bit of the Nancy Drew series and I'm loving it.

Is there more?
I hope there is more. I love this series. I’ve listened to one a day for the last 3 days while I’ve worked and they are perfect. Just enough mystery and humour to keep me engaged. Such a nice change from listening to the same music constantly.
