Magic Can Be Murder

(4) 4-6 Being a witch, Nola is often persecuted, so when she magically witnesses a murder, she can't testify or she'd betray her own secret. Her mistakes entangle her in the murder investigation, however, where she falls under the charm of detective Lord Galvin. The plot of this fairy tale novelization is somewhat forced and the denouement rushed, but Vande Velde has the knack of engaging characters and intriguing situations.
