When the local police rule that Hope\u2019s death is a burglary gone bad, Meg sets out to prove them wrong and bring Hope\u2019s real killer to justice\u2013with the help of a few good spells.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I had not read the previous books in the series but I got the impression that Meg and her mum, Beth, were witches. Meg\u2019s mum wanted her to keep this a secret and meg was trying to hide the fact from her police officer boyfriend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this story, Beth, had met a new friend called Hope Riddle. The three ladies had decided to spend the day wine tasting but when Meg and Beth turn up at Hope\u2019s house she doesn\u2019t answer the door\u2026.they soon discover Hope has been killed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It looks at first like a burglary gone wrong\u2026.but neither Beth nor Meg agree with this idea. Beth asks Meg to use her powers to investigate the case and find out the truth about her friend. While Meg\u2019s detective boyfriend doesn\u2019t want her involved, he quickly realises she will be investigating with or without him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This book was a quick read. It had a better plot than a lot of cosy mystery books I\u2019ve read recently. There seems to be a theme of police boyfriends letting the heroine take over questioning suspects in a lot of books recently. I\u2019m not a fan of this. However, this book seems to handle it more plausibly than most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An OK book to take on holiday but nothing to make you think about too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Available from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PFxH9O\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solvethemurder.files.wordpress.com\/2024\/03\/20240304_165432.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/solvethemurder.files.wordpress.com\/2024\/03\/20240304_165432.jpg\" alt=\"A Riddle of a Murder by Amelia Morgan - photo by Juliamaud\" class=\"wp-image-4312\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A Riddle of a Murder by Amelia Morgan \u2013 photo by Juliamaud<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The City Adventurers love reading about mystery, so we\u2019ve started our own book club.&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/b76ee331c544\/qeywp1mv7d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to join!&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/b76ee331c544\/qeywp1mv7d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Join the Solve The Murder Book Club<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Riddle Of A Murder by Amelia Morgan is the 4th book in the Enchanted Bay Witch Cozy Mystery series.
