Witch City Mystery Series, Book 9

By: Carol J. Perry

Narrated by: C.S.E. Cooney

A dead ballplayer means foul play in Salem....

Field reporter Lee Barrett is not happy that her hours are being cut back at WICH-TV, although it is nice to spend more time volunteering with Aunt Ibby, a research librarian at Salem's main branch. But Lee's least favorite task is going up to the stacks, a spooky, seldom-frequented upper section of the library. On this day she has good reason to be afraid - she finds a dead man, surrounded by hundreds of scattered books and torn-out pages.

Her police detective beau, Pete Mondello, is soon on the scene, and the deceased is identified as a former minor league baseball player - and ex-con - named Wee Willie Wallace, who hasn't been seen in Salem for 20 years. With help from her friend River's Tarot reading, her clairvoyant cat O'Ryan, and Lee's own psychic gifts, she steps up to the plate to catch the killer who took the old ballplayer out of the game....

Great series

Love the continuation of the characters lives. The voice of the narrator is perfect for this series.

late ✔️ out

good series
but the repeat of "babe , and did I tell you be a good cop"
several times in 1 book is too much because here it it all books multiple times.

Series

I like the story. This was a typical murder/ crime/ kidnapping story. The narrator was all right… she read the story the characters voices were about the same hum. The whole story series is about the same. But cute ya. Enjoy stories

Great Plot!

Love Perry’s storylines! Well developed characters and plot line. Speeding up the narration slightly worked well.

Mystery in Salem

Another good read by Carol Perry. The books are full of suspense, mystery, and humor.
