Rendition Concering Books Witch Hunt (Ophelia & Abby Mystery #4)
Small-town librarian Ophelia Jensen is finally starting to embrace her lot as one of the "chosen"—a psychic and folk magick practitioner, a.k.a. a witch. Expert loving guidance from her magickally adept grandmother Abby helps—and adopting Tink, an exceptionally talented teenage medium, has given Ophelia's life new purpose . . . until a brutal murder clouds the sunshine of their days.Ophelia's co-worker and best friend, Darci, is distraught when her cousin is implicated in the small Iowa town of Summerset's most recent murder—the violent death of a biker. Unfortunately for Darci's cousin, it's her fingerprints all over the murder weapon. She claims she's innocent, but it'll take Ophelia and Abby more than a good incantation or two to get to the bottom of this crime—what with ghosts, crooked cops, secret identities, and a small army of outlaw bikers thrown into this devil's brew.

Shirley Damsgaard has carved a new niche in the market: Appalachian Paranormal Fiction! Being a West Virginia gal, I love how Appalachia figures into the books without all the negative stereotyping that usually goes along with it! I always have problems getting started with Shirley Damsgaard's books. But once I make it past the first couple of chapters, I fall in love with the characters again (and again). I am sucked in by the storyline and I have a very hard time putting the book down. I loveWow, the clues were so noticeable, they might as well have been in bold print, not that they seemed to help Ophelia much. I don't remember the previous books being so obvious, nor Abby being so clueless. The story was ok. I definitely like the addition of Tink, I just hope the mysterious are a bit more mysterious in the next books.
Okay, I obviously wasn't expecting a literary masterpiece, I just wanted an easy, quick, mystery and it fit the bill. I have to wonder whether I'm the only person who read this who objects to a character's rape (she was roofied) as "casual sex." I almost stopped reading it (I wish I had) but I thought the author might come back to address it. She didn't. The first couple of titles in this series were better, after this one I don't know that I want to read any further.
Maybe it's just me, but I found this to be the most unexciting, boring Abby and Ophelia mystery of all. Either I'm getting really good at solving these things, or they are getting too predictable. I just figured it all out way too early and way too easily. Danny, Pete and his wife, the ghost, everything! I also didn't like the ending; I thought there should have been more dialogue or interaction or something between Ophelia and "Cobra" at the end. I really don't like the addition of Tink to the
I struggled to finish this book. Ophelia's lack of perception and passive nature are beginning to wear on me, and the clues as to who the murderer is were really heavy handed. For a psychic, Ophelia is incredibly dense and 4 books in, I would expect her to have grown up some. I may go back and read more of these later, but it is definitely time for a break.
I enjoyed this book, even though it is the fourth book in the series, it stood alone just fine. I enjoyed the characters, although for a witch, Ophelia was not very "smart" when it comes to paranormal activities. I mean if you live with a medium, wouldn't you expect to have a ghost around? Anyway, I liked this book and will seek out the rest of the series to read.
Ophelia (the local librarian) & her Grandmother Abby have "the Gift"...they use this gift to help solve murders. Unfortunately, the gift of "sight" doesn't include seeing the killer's face, just his eyes and the murder.... Ophelia's adopted daughter & her friends play with a Ouija Board, which also has consequences in relation to the murder.In this book a group of bikers (El Serpiente) have come to town and the library assistant's cousin Becca takes one of the bikers home with her.
