Murder Most Owl - (Magical Menagerie Mystery) by Sarah Fox (Hardcover)
It's been years since screenwriter Georgie Johansen last visited her aunt Olivia's farm in the coastal town of Twilight Cove and things have certainly changed. First of all it's now an animal sanctuary, and then there's the new farmhand who's as mysterious as he is handsome. Her first day on the farm, Georgie encounters the eccentric Dorothy Shale, an older woman who lives in a cabin in the woods. There are rumours that Dorothy's a witch, but Georgie doesn't believe that. Although, Dorothy does have an unusual magical presence around her . . .
When Dorothy ends up murdered, suspicion falls on Georgie - she was the one who found the poor woman's body, and being new in town doesn't help with the suspicion. Things only get worse when it turns out that Dorothy left her valuable plot of land to Auntie O!
Georgie must act fast to clear her and her aunt's names by finding the real killer. But as bodies start to mount up, the pressure rises. With the help of the unusual powers of Dorothy's two dogs and great-horned owl, can Georgie uncover the truth before she becomes the killer's next target?

Reviews for "The Empowering Magic of My Aunt's Presence"
1. John - 2/5 stars - As much as I wanted to enjoy "My aunt has a magical presence," I found it to be too predictable and cliché. The storyline followed a typical formula, with no surprises or originality. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth, making it difficult to feel any connection or empathy towards them. Overall, the book felt like a mediocre attempt at creating a magical world, but it fell short of capturing my interest and imagination.
2. Sarah - 3/5 stars - While "My aunt has a magical presence" had its moments of charm and whimsy, I found the plot to be overly complicated and confusing. The author introduced too many characters and subplots, making it hard to keep track of everything. Additionally, some of the magical elements felt forced and out of place, taking away from the authenticity of the story. I appreciate the author's attempt to create a magical tale, but I believe it could have been executed better with more focus and coherence.
3. David - 2/5 stars - I was initially intrigued by the premise of "My aunt has a magical presence," but unfortunately, it failed to live up to my expectations. The writing style was dull and uninspiring, lacking the necessary descriptions and vivid imagery to transport the reader into the magical world. The pacing was also inconsistent, with some parts dragging on while others felt rushed. Overall, I found myself disconnected from the story and uninterested in the fate of the characters. This book simply did not resonate with me.
