Quote: "I'm an accidental witch. My parents are Normies, or non-magic folk."
That's how Lily Hawthorn, whose name isn't mentioned until the second half of chapter two, introduces herself in this series-launching cozy mystery. A disagreeable old woman called Abigail has died, there's evidence that a European botanical well known to witches was involved, and Lily has to clear her best school friend of suspicion.
Neither magic nor logic really counts for as much as the feeling that characters are too nice to have Done It, but if you feel that there's just something about the convenient loss of a politician called Abigail, you'll enjoy this cozy and even mildly comic mystery.
The trailers for additional books at the end aren't to be missed. In addition to a sequel about Lily, there's a series about a ghost detective and a couple of theological books by another member of the Tremblay family, a Christian minister. I don't know about the positions he takes but he's certainly not a victim of "satanic panic."
