Witch extraordinaire Lori Whitewood sits back in her favorite lounge chair and taps her cheek with her forefinger, deep in thought. "If I had to say what were the three highlights of my career as a witch sleuth, I'll have to start with the killer we caught at the Mushroom Convention." She blushes. "That's also were Matt and I met." Then she frowns. "Catching my dear circus owner uncle's murderer was scary. I almost died that time." She sighs with relief. "And thank goodness crossword puzzle champion Alvin Barnsley's death didn't go unsolved. The murderer came very, very close to escaping and going unpunished. Who would have expected..." She puts her hand over her mouth, and when she looks at the reporter interviewing her, she has a mischievous glint in her eye. "Never mind. One day I'll tell my life story in a book, and you'll find out the tricks us Whitewood witches had to use to apprehend the guilty." All of Lori's tales are contained in this entertaining box set of binge-reading-worthy cozy mystery stories: The Mushroom Mysteries, Potions and Puzzles and Death at the Circus.
