Walters’ plot is replete with a colorful cast, a combination of foils, and a tight handful of antagonists. Unique to Walters’ third-person narrative is the way she weaves in comedy and a bit of romance in the midst of a dark plot.
Action scenes are brisk, and the gloomy atmosphere of evil magic is perfectly supernatural…With many adventures in the rear-view mirror and seemingly more on the horizon, readers that like a little magic with their murder mysteries will be more than satisfied with this latest offering.
