This is the fourth book in Lynn Cahoon's delightful Kitchen Witch Cozy Mystery series. I was happy to receive an ARC from Net Galley and dive back into Mia's world. I thought this was a pretty good mystery. This series has a substantial amount of scenes showing the day-to-day life of Mia and her catering business. If you don't like reading about the interworking of a small business person who is also a kitchen witch, this is not the series for you. For me, the scenes of daily life focused on the preparation and sharing of food is cozy to read. I also find comfort in the idea of magic all around us.
In this book, Mia has become a go-to source for Magical Springs when a mystery needs to be solved, so it is no surprise when Mahogany asks Mia to solve the death of her mother. The police think her mother died of old age, but Mahogany is certain it is murder. Mia, of course, helps and ultimately solves the murder. Unlike many cozies, Mia doesn't confront the murderer herself in a desolate area, she calls the police.
I was surprised at the ending point, we don't get any resolution to Mia's job situation and we don't get to see the wedding. I wonder if the next book will take place seconds after this one ends?
My rating for this book is 4 stars.
Thank you #NetGalley for this book! All opinions are mine! #FourCharmingSpells

That's an interesting way to end this book. I hope it all gets cleared up in the next book
