Five Furry Familiars

by Lynn Cahoon Narrated by Angie Hickman

Overview

In the latest enchanting mystery from the New York Times bestselling author, Mia Malone is working as a catering director at a ski lodge, but when her roommate's ex checks in, everything starts going downhill . . .



To keep her cooking school and catering business, Mia's Morsels, afloat, Mia's handed off oversight to her boyfriend Trent's mother while she focuses on earning a steady paycheck. Too bad her mean-spirited boss at the lodge keeps the misery flowing as steadily as the money. At least her roommate, Christina, is still dedicated to Mia's Morsels-though she's also distracted, thanks to her clingy mother's constant demands. And the distraction only grows when Christina's old flame shows up in Magic Springs, Idaho, in his Escalade, claiming out of the blue to be her fiancé.



The arrival of some homeless kittens, as well as Trent's new familiar, a cute little Maltese, brings more chaos-as well as a strange spiritual energy that seems to emanate from the animals. But before Mia can figure out what kind of paranormal pets she has on her hands, she finds herself with a murder to solve-when a dead body is found in the lodge rental of Christina's suddenly attentive ex . . .

Not all witches are bad. Some of the ones who live in the aptly named town of Magic Springs use their talents to solve murders.

The Lodge where Mia Malone works as catering director is under new management and no longer outsources the catering jobs she needs to keep her own company, Mia’s Morsels, going. And then there are the animals: Mia already has a familiar in Mr. Darcy, her cat; her boyfriend, Trent, has a familiar hellhound in the unlikely body of a Maltese puppy; and then someone drops off three kittens that may be familiars, too, causing more chaos. Meanwhile, Mia’s friend Christina Adams has a wealthy mother whose mission is to get her daughter married off to someone other than Levi Majors, her current boyfriend. Todd Thompson, Christina’s former love interest who’d cheated on her, obligingly shows up to pop the question, but she’s not interested in anything more than dinner. When Todd is found dead, the police suspect Levi and Christina. Todd had been spotted in the area skiing with another woman, so Mia and her friends, eager to protect Christina, start investigating other suspects for possible motives. Mia’s grandmother, who helps her harness her witchy powers, tells her that the killer had magical skills, but not strong ones. Taking a closer look at Todd’s past life, Mia realizes that his older brother, Jacob, who was smarter and better-looking, vanished for quite a while. Now he’s back, along with Mia’s former fiance, Christina’s brother Isaac, who hopes to win Mia back. The answer to the mystery may lie in the past, but finding it will require plenty of magic.

A fun read for those who enjoy tales of witches and magic.
