A set of 3 mysteries about Bast, a wiccan who is confronted with various crimes. The books have a common theme of justice and morality vs the real world that spoke to me much more than the mystery format they are presented in. ( ) More reviews at: http://www.onstarshipsanddragonwings.com/2011/04/15/bellbookandmurder/ This collection is proof that I do like mysteries sometimes! It was recommended to me by a teacher from high school, so it must be good right? It is, don’t worry. Title: Bell, Book, and Murder Author: Rosemary Edghill Length: 448 pages (paperback) Setting: Modern day, New York, our universe as far as I can tell Premise: Bast is a normal person, but in suspicious about the death of a friend in the first book, then people start relying on her to solve mysteries for them. She’s also Wiccan, which isn’t really relevant, but is done quite accurately and therefore deserves praise. Strengths: Very interesting plot twists, you’ll never see them coming Accurate portrayal of Wicca Well rounded characters, including the main character, who definitely was also duped at one point Weaknesses: It’s a little grisly a few times It does have the classic problem that books involving normal people solving mysteries do, in that it seems highly improbable that this would ever happen :-) There are no more books past these three :-( The second one might have taken some liberties with history, but I am no expert Apparently according to mystery readers these books aren’t that hard to figure out (proves how many mysteries I read… I was stumped :-) ) Summary: These stories are a little hard for me to classify, since they aren’t fantasy, but they aren’t really that strong of mysteries, but there is the Wicca element. I guess it’s a fiction that is a bit mysterious? Oh well, they are good stories with a delightful character and I recommend them. They can also be instructional about the Wicca religion if you’ve ever been curious, since they are quite accurate.

Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Bast (1-3)
Rosemary Edghill cast a keenly observant, friendly, yet faintly amused eye on an intriguing American micro-culture. The Bast novels offer a very new view of the practitioners of a very old faith. Edghill allows that there's still magic in the air. Rosemary Edghill's Bast novels are a real treat.Bell, Book, and Murder contains all three Bast novels, Speak Daggers to Her, Book of Moons, and the first softcover edition of The Bowl of Night(excerpted inUSA Today).
