Description from the publisher:

Alfhild Daemonne has inherited an inn. And a dead body.

Estranged from her witch mother, and having committed to little in her 30 years, Alf surprises herself when she decides to start a new life.

She heads deep into the English countryside, intent on making a success of the once popular inn. However, discovering the murder throws her a curve ball. Especially when she suspects dark magick.

Additionally, a less than warm welcome from several locals persuades her that a variety of folk - of both the mortal and magickal persuasions - have it in for her. The dilapidated inn presents a huge challenge for Alf. Uncertain who to trust, she considers calling time on the venture.

Should she pack her bags and head back to London? Don’t be daft.

Alf’s magickal powers may be as wonky as the inn, but she’s dead set on finding the murderer.

Once a witch, always a witch - and this one is fighting back.

A clean and cozy witch mystery. Take the opportunity to immerse yourself in this fantastic new witch mystery series, from the author of the award-winning novel, Crone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE WONKIEST WITCH is the first book in the Wonky Inn Cozy Mysteries. This one definitely needs to be read first.

Okay, I’m silly enough to catch myself singing, “what’s it all about, Alfie” at the odd pauses in the book for no good reason except that it is the main character’s name. It certainly has nothing to do with the story.

Alfhid is exactly the type of character I would love to make my friend. She is quirky, but practical. She may be a bit wonky, but her intentions are solid gold.

What I most want to say about this story, I can’t without giving away the major plot points, but I will tell you that there are surprises. The mystery is solidly thought through and executed.

This is a highly entertaining, clean, cozy mystery with a well-written plot, wonderful characters, and surprise ending that had me gasping. Though there is a happy-ending, there is enough room to expand this into the series it is meant to be. It will be fun to listen to more of the Wonky Inn and its visitors.

Narration: Do you love listening to Hermione in the Harry Potter movies? I do. Well then, you’ll love listening to Kim Bretton as the narrator in THE WONKIEST WITCH. Her lively cadence and engaging attitude is thoroughly entertaining.

Note: While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy via Audiobookworm Promotions, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
