Bewitched Break Inn: Mystic Inn Mystery, #6

By Stephanie Damore

There's a string of break-ins happening around Silverlake, and no one is happy about it. Whoever the burglar is, he's smart, able to bypass magical wards and make off with the goods before the police even have a clue something's amiss.

That is until Loretta Johnson's grandson is caught red-handed at the scene. It seems like the case is closed, but Loretta is convinced her grandson is innocent, and she wants my help to prove it.

Too bad Mrs. Potts wants me to stay out of it. My retired second-grade teacher says I'm wasting my time. Harvey Johnson is a no-good scoundrel, and I'm better off leaving this one alone.

But when Harvey's found turned to stone in his jail cell, I know I have to take the case. Something more than petty theft is at play. No one's business is safe until we get to the bottom of this, not even Mystic Inn.
