I absolutely love a light, fun to read book following a darker, heavier mystery, or the historical fiction of which I just cannot get enough.  And this book fits that bill to a tee.Born with magical powers into a line that dates at least  to the time of this country's infamous witch trials, Wendy believes that she has left that all behind, immersing herself within the realm of books, gratis her position as an historical librarian.  But when murder falls upon the floors of her own library, she feels a compulsion to seek out the source behind that atrocity.In that pursuit, she reconnects with her uncle, who runs an investigation agency, one that focuses particularly upon crimes not fitting the rules of normal occurrences; crimes such  as the murder of Benny that she is investigating -- a death by strangulation that has left no physical marks betraying that strangulation was cause of death, a death that, thereby, could only have been accomplished by magical means.Meet Wendy's quirky friends, her sympathetic man on the police force, the helper her uncle provides, and other magical characters as you learn solution of the mystery driving this delightful magical tale…Almost forgot:  perfectly appropriate for all readers within the house, regardless of age.
