Like a Charm

This is a wonderfully delightful book that takes place in the Bronwyn the Witch series of books from Candace Havens. In this one, though, Kira Smythe, lawyer, is the main character.

She suffers what is basically a physical and nervous breakdown after a female co-worker commits suicide at the office, and she returns to her hometown of Sweet in order to recover. Her parents are basically hippies. She lives in the same town that Bronwyn does, so we see the Lulu's restaurant and the same time of rather unusual people.

In this case, the center of focus is the town's library and the librarian who, unfortunately, dies. She leaves the library to Kira who has lost her regular job. So Kira has to try to find a new job, deal with the fact she now runs a library and has to decide if she will leave Sweet or stay and run the library.

Which would be a bit of a problem to handle, but it's complicated by the fact that she now is able to see dead people in the library.

There's also a matter of someone leaving threatening letters and phone calls.

And she's also fallen deeply in love with a journalist.

A lot for anyone to handle. The story is done is a really good way, and the book is entertaining and interesting at the same time. I'd classify it as a must-read.
