What The Cat Dragged In

Celtic Witch Mysteries Series, Book 1

De: Molly Milligan

Narrado por: Gemma Dawson

The body that turns up in Bron's garden has been there for decades, and he died of natural causes. Just rebury him and carry on as normal, right?

But it's kinda hard to be normal when the ghost of the dead man has been disturbed, and now he want...well, just what does he want?

It's down to Bron, a traditional hedge witch, to find out. If she doesn't, that ghost is going to be lingering in corners and upsetting kitchen chairs for the rest of her life. Creepy, tedious, and noisy, all at the same time.

She's helped by the unexpected arrival of her cousin Maddie from America, who is seeking connection and history in this uncertain age. And there's another mystery - why is this vivacious, friendly young woman so evasive and afraid?

Soon they are up to their knees in faery folk (don't trust 'em), druids (keen on trees), wild animals (Bron's a healer), the obligatory smoldering blacksmith (sorry, he prefers men), and the maddest Mad Great Aunt of all.

Life is never dull in Llanfair!

Not as silly as some books in this genera& a bit dark

This story was better than expected, has a more realistic attitude about magic, spirituality & folklore & gave that small village feeling.

Thoroughly enjoyed!

Immorally so enjoyable! The story was intricate enough but not too busy. Hope to hear more about the relationship with Harken.

What the cat dragged in

Good story, very different from what normally read. Good end with potential for more stories.

Intriguing read

The book was a good read. Full of suspense. Makes you wonder about supernatural powers. The unsettled souls around us.

Bland

I can't help thinking that this was supposed to be really funny (instead of vaguely humorous) and would have been if the narration had treated it as a comedy. Instead it was vaguely banal. Combined with a lack lustre ending..... well, I just don't feel inclined to continue this series. I only finished this one bcos I listened while on the go and uncaring if I missed bits.
It's a shame audible can't seem to fit the right narrator with the right book. The narration wasn't technically bad (no overt mistakes), just very dull. I imagine she would do well with audio travel guides or other non-fiction
