The Witch who Couldn’t Spell by Katie Penryn

What do you do if you’re a new witch in a new town, and your long-lost mother’s locked up for murder?

Find the real killer – however dangerous that may be.

So far, Penzi’s done well. She’s qualified as a lawyer in London, despite her reading disability, and raised her two brothers on her own. But she doesn’t have the skills needed to hunt down a murderer.

True Penzi’s a witch, so she could use magic, and she does have her mother’s Book of Spells, but she’s hit a stumbling block. Try as she may, Penzi cannot decipher the grimoire’s medieval script. She needs help desperately if she’s to save her mother from a life in prison.

Will the High Council of the Guild of White Witches listen to her plea and allow her an assistant in time? Someone with supernatural powers of their own?

Fortunately for Felix, a witch in time saves nine.

Mpenzi Munro and her family are settling down to their new life in the French seaside town of Beaucoup-sur-Mer. At last, Penzi can find out what treasures are stored in the antiques shop attached to their centuries old house on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.

However, evil is never far away, even in a quiet little town like Beaucoup-sur-Mer. It’s not long before Penzi receives an urgent phone call from the mayor, Monsieur Bonhomie, asking her to help him with his latest crisis. Felix, Penzi’s multi-talented and sexy bodyguard, tries to stop Penzi from taking up the challenge, but Penzi is a newly committed white witch who says, “A witch has to do what a witch has to do.”

So, family life is put on hold again while Penzi adds to her portfolio of spells in her fight to bring the murderer to justice.
