The Witches of Pinecroft Cove, Book 1

By: Nicole St. Claire

Narrated by: Stephanie Murphy

After moving to the magical world of Pinecroft Cove, will Tamsyn’s life ever be normal again?

Tamsyn Bassett is having a bad week. Like the "losing your job and getting dumped by your boyfriend" kind of bad. So, when her great-aunt invites her to spend the summer at her inn on a remote island in Maine, Tamsyn jumps at the chance. But instead of the peaceful getaway she expected, she's immediately confronted with the preposterous revelation that she's descended from a long line of kitchen witches and is the last hope of her generation to keep magic alive in Pinecroft Cove. That she's the world's worst cook could be an issue.

As if navigating a strange new world of spells, magic, and exploding blueberry pies isn't enough to handle, that awkward boy who had a crush on her when they were kids seems to turn up everywhere she looks. Only, now that he's a super-dreamy doctor, it's Tamsyn's turn to be the awkward one. If she didn't know better, she'd swear someone put a hex on her.

One more thing. Tamsyn's pretty sure she's being haunted, and not by just any ghost but by Doctor Dreamy's dead uncle. If she can't harness her powers in time to figure out the truth behind his mysterious death, she may never have a moment of peace again.

When death strikes the island’s controversial real estate mogul, will Tamsyn’s newly discovered powers be any match for murder?

Fun!

This was a fun story. Everything that could go wrong does for the heroine. But it all works out in the end. Looking forward for the next story.

good mystery

I had no clue who the perpetrator was. What a twisted path to the villainy. I enjoyed the journey. The teaser at the end is intriguing. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job bringing it to life.

Enjoyable story - annoying narration

The narrator does a pretty good job, but she tends to life her voice just before every pause/end of sentence. Reminds me of Allison Hannigan's character in American Pie - "This one time, at band camp..." Gave me a headache.

With that said, It was a wonderful, cozy mystery. I liked the characters and the story itself.

I really enjoyed this first installment in a new series

I really enjoyed this first installment in a new series. Nicole St. Clair and Stephanie Murphy make a winning team for this cozy mystery which has loads of laughs and a fun adventure. I highly recommend this book/audiobook to cozy mystery fans.

Fun paranormal cozy mystery

This is a fun paranormal cozy mystery. I can't even imagine losing my job, and boyfriend in the same week. Then getting a letter from a Great Aunt asking me to come live with her. To find out I am a witch on top of it all would be too much for my brain and heart to handle. This is just the beginning of what Tamsyn goes through in this book. It was fun to listen too during my commute to work.
