The Witch's Grave (Ophelia & Abby Mysteries, No. 6)
The meandering sixth entry (after 2007sThe Witch Is Dead) in Damsgaards Ophelia and Abby supernatural mystery series brings troubling erotic dreams to Ophelia, rural Iowas reluctant novice witch. Shes unsure what her nocturnal fantasies portend until she comes face-to-face with the man of those dreams, exposé author Stephen Larsen. Just after their first kiss, Stephen is shot. As he lies comatose in the hospital, Ophelias dreams quickly shift from sexy to mysterious, playing out like a serial drama taking place in WWII Paris, while some failed attempts on Ophelias life lead the Summerset sheriff to suspect that she was the shooters real target. Ophelia must turn to Abby, her master witch grandmother, for help saving Stephens life and bringing together the myriad threads of the rather disjointed plot.(Jan.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
