Nice idea but 5 hours too long!
So I read the reviews and thought well nice idea lets try this one. Urgh - the writing is pedestrian to say the least and the 'story' such as it is drab. If our heroine says 'I must be crazy' - 'you must be crazy', 'they must be crazy' once more..............!!!!!!!! Okay so finding out your a witch on your mothers deathbed is a little odd but hey this is fantasy -you know the drill. To continue to believe that your mother called you a witch as an offensive term was a little stupid to say the least but finding out you are an actual witch doesn't make you 'crazy'. The introduction of serial killer plot was a little bizarre but if the heroine was a little more sympathetic it would have sat better.
Perhaps a better editor is needed, but the writing sure does need tightening up.
This is another narrator that believe women 'of a certain age' should have crackly, off key voices - never heard one myself but then what do I know - I'm only a woman 'of a certain age'.
I am sorry that I can find no plus sides to this book - frankly I don't care how it began and, with another 3 hours to go - I definitely don't care how it ends

Does the writer hate women?
The narrator did her best with a story based on a woman who is constantly judging herself and others, lying about everything and cannot even stand up for herself to the obnoxious cat. Felt absolutely no sympathy for her at all. Pushed through, hoping for a change that I felt sure would have to come, but no such luck. The other female characters were portrayed as obsessed with men and incapable of real supportive relationships.

What a shame.
This book could have been brilliant if only a little more thought had gone into it. She miraculously found two killers with little work and not much reason. The reader is left to fill in the rest I.e how she managed to convince the detective they were killers etc. Very vague.

I really enjoyed this story i found it funny and quirky. Jill is struggling as a PI when she finds out that she is a witch. Then suddenly her life starts to change with a family that want to get to know her, including the ghost of her mum and powers that are beginning to show. With a talking sarcastic one eyed cat and a serial killer on the loose its a funny read. I found this was a light read that was quite funny at times. It is not a very serious series but a nice easy read. Think I will continue in the series and see what happens next.

Absolutely awful
Very simple childish writing. Very slow. Over explanations and overly long descriptions. Have up after the second chapter.

Brought to life
I've read and re-read this series many times, it's easy reading, hilarious, relaxing fun.
This time I added the audible and I love it... It's very different to how I would narrate it, and that means I feel like I am hearing it for the first time, different nuances coming to life.
Brilliant... Need the rest now!

Asshat?? Why did she say that so often??
The story wasn't bad but the narrators way of saying "Asshat" all the time really annoyed me.
If you can cope with that, you'll probably enjoy it 🙂

clunky clichéd & boring
The story had potential to be interesting but its made excruciating by outdated clichéd language and way too much detail on irrelevant scenes .The narration is stilted , without character or expression. nuanced narration could have saved it but instead it only highlights the clunky style of the writing . I couldn't finish it . too painful to listen to. Shame as the story could have been good.

perfect for young teens
The upbeat antics of brand new witch do not fail to entertain the young at heart!!!
