Murder Through an Open Door - A Review

 Review


MURDER THROUGH AN OPEN DOOR By Melissa Bourbon
The Third Book Magic Mystery

Pippin Lane Hawthorne is learning to live apart from her twin Grey, but she's hardly alone. Her inn is almost always fully booked, leaving her grateful for Hazel, a traveling innkeeper, who has come to help out. She also has her friends, as well as Jamie and his daughters. But until she can break the family curse there's no place for romance. Is there? Could a dead body in Jaime's bookshop and a discovery about Pippin's necklace mean that she and Grey will be able to actually break the curse? Or does it only mean that more trouble is heading their way?

Lots of twisty turns, about faces, and surprises suffuse the third Book Magic Mystery leading readers on a merry chase to determine, not only who the murderer is, but what needs to be done in order to break the curse. Many characters are acting suspiciously and it seems as if trusting anyone could be a major mistake. 

Pippin is a wonderful protagonist, full of determination, if somewhat plagued by self doubt. She's learning to trust despite obstacles placed by the author, and I love how her relationship with Jaime is growing. One of my favorite characters, Hattie Juniper Pickle, is back and plays a key role in apprehending a suspect, a scene that had me on the edge of my seat-yet giggling.

MURDER THROUGH AN OPEN DOOR is a magical maze of trust, treasure hunters, and murder with a backdrop of books and Celtic mythology. Filled with family secrets and unexpected twists this book with have you glued to your seat.
