A Paranormal Women's Fiction Cozy Mystery

Quinn Callahan is having a doozy of a midlife crisis.
When Seattle witch Quinn Callahan is sent to Ballydehag, Ireland to run a book shop, little does she know that this sleepy, postcard pretty Irish village harbors plenty of secrets.
There’s a creepy looking castle called Devil’s Keep where high-tech billionaire Lochlan Balfour is known to make his home. Turns out, Lochlan has had years to hone his business instincts. Centuries, in fact as he’s a vampire, as are his colorful assortment of friends and employees who come and go from the forbidding castle. Some of them gather at The Blarney Tome, which Quinn now manages, for a late-night book club. There’s even a famous undead writer or two.
Between managing a book store, discovering she’s got roots in the area she never knew about, and solving murders, Quinn and her book club are kept busy. If you enjoy a little magic and mayhem with your mystery, these books are for you. There’s no blood, gore, or swearing, just good, clean murderous fun.

A rollicking good read, with a delightful cast of characters, and some special guest appearances from The Vampire Knitting Club(no, I'm not saying who, you'll have to find out for yourself!) Nancy Warren delivers a delightful new mystery series that stands up well on its own, and will also work well in tandem with the Vampire Knitting Club series. Enjoy!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2024Getting more info on characters populating this series with little crossover from the Vampire Knitting series. Decent mystery & an enjoyable trip to get to its resolution.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2021I have been a fan since I read Ms. Warren's Vampire Knitting books. I was worried I wouldn't find another series I enjoyed as much but I am pretty sure this series is going to keep me equally entertained.
She has again built lovable characters, believable story lines and this time the books are set in Ireland.
When witch Quinn Callahan gets banned to the beautiful small Irish village, she is resigned but worried about what her new life in this tiny hamlet will hold for her. But she finds her home and quaint little bookstore a welcome and warm new beginning.
However, within hours of Her arrival, Quinn discovers a man murdered in her bookstore. As if that weren't enough of a shock, she soon finds a book discussion group who meets in her bookstore weekly, and the group swear they are vampires.
Well, if there can be witches, why can't there be vampires!
The vampires convince her to join their discussion book club and eventually they decide to join together to see if they solve the murder in her bookstore.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2022This is yet another "new to me" author and I really liked this story. The main character is likeable and so are most of the supporting characters. The story approaches legends in a very matter of fact way and gives those legends a very mundane existence. I found that very plausible and enjoyed the book. The plot is easily followed and the book is very well written. I can easily recommend this book and hope others will enjoy the story too.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2020This is my first book by this author which caught my attention because the main character is a 40 something woman/witch who is a librarian and book shop manager. I recently finished reading the 13 midlife women’s urban fantasy books on Kindle Unlimited that features middle age women as strong, main characters. These stories are wonderful and I thought this might be another version of that.
It starts off with promise. I truly like the Irish setting, the middle aged characters, the imaginative concept of a vampire book club and the small town conversations. I was enjoying this lighthearted story until the main character, who is new in this small Irish town, goes to the party to unmask the killer. I feel the author missed opportunities to build tension, throw red herrings and create some complex plot twists by choosing a simplistic approach that felt like I was suddenly reading a book for a very young teen. Maybe that is the target audience?
- Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2024When Quinn Callahan comes to Ireland she never thought how involved in a murder she would be, but murder it is!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2020This is such a terrific book! It's got down-to-earth characters who are interestingly quirky, a wonderful little village for a setting, a somewhat mysterious castle owner for a neighbor and an adorable kitty to keep company with.
The plot starts out with some interesting tweaks and just keeps getting better, sweeping you up into it and doesn't want to let you go until you've finished the last sentence. It even has the nerve to make you want to keep reading more!
I voluntarily read an Advance Reader Copy and couldn't resist buying it for myself. I can definitely recommend it to you. Personally, I'm already looking forward to the next one!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2020Warren opens a new series centered on the character of Quinn, who is going through one heck of a midlife crisis. The world portrayed in this series appears to be separate from but contain “guest appearances” from some characters in the Vampire Knitting Club series. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about Quinn -many midlife crisis oriented books can go a little over the top- but I found her relatable and really enjoyable to read about. Warren is such an absolute master of writing deep, relatable characters that are the driving force in her stories! This was a lighthearted, fun read! One that I am sure I will sit down with more than once. This series has a ton of potential and I can’t wait to see where Warren goes with it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A magical witch cozy mystery
I really enjoyed this book. I was expecting it to be good as I enjoy Nancy's Vampire Knitting Club books but this was so much better! I liked Quinn a lot. She is a middle aged witch who tried to do the right thing even though it was against the witch world laws. As a result she is sent to a tiny village in Ireland to run a bookstore. A place where she couldn't get into trouble. But the day she arrives, she discovers a body. Add in a castle owned by a vampire, a book club for vampires, a delightful cat and a village of quirky characters and this book was magic. I am looking forward to the next one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy reading and good fun
Good writing that flows well. A fun story, with well-drawn characters, whom you'd definitely want to get to know better. Perfect set-up for a series.
The mystery was also quite deftly handled, though the solution came a bit out of the blue.
Looking forward to the next one in the series!

4.0 out of 5 stars Engaging Cosy Paranormal Mystery
Warren interweaves the hidden tensions of village life with the slightly fantastical, creating an engaging murder mystery where magic and the supernatural add both solutions and problems.
After breaking the cardinal rule about using magic to change fate, Quinn Calahan is sent to run the bookshop in a small village in southern Ireland. Resolving not to make her situation worse by breaking the conditions of her exile, she resigns herself to a boring life for the foreseeable future—until she discovers a murder in the shop the night before it was due to reopen. Drawn back into the investigation at every turn, she starts to wonder if the magic she messed with is coming home to roost.
As might be guessed from the title, this novel is, unashamedly, a cosy paranormal mystery, featuring amateur sleuthing, curious (in both senses) vampires, myriad red herrings, and a setting that is—apart from murder—a slightly politer and lighter place than the modern world.
While Warren does perhaps show rural Ireland through a hint of rose glass, this is well within the bounds of improvement that the presence of good witches might cause making it seem realistic in context.
Equally, although—like all cosy mysteries (paranormal or not)—the central role taken by the protagonist in uncovering the true culprit is somewhat implausible, Warren makes good use of the logistics of rural Ireland to add some sense of plausibility to the protagonist getting involved and the police not immediately shoving them well away.
The mystery itself relies on human nature rather than any magical characteristics of Warren’s world, making it if not something a reader would do something readers will viscerally feel is within the bounds of what people might do.
A number of other plots interweave with the mystery, providing red herrings, time-conflicts, and the sense that the village is part of a complex world rather than merely a backdrop for the murder. Although most of these are resolved, a few remain as leads into later volumes in the series; as nothing is left in the middle of the action, readers are unlikely to find this too irksome; however, those hoping for the full story of why Quinn is sent to the book shop will be disappointed.
Magic and the supernatural, while a pervasive presence, are parallel rather than superior to the mundane, providing different methods and issues rather than offering easy answers. Quinn’s inability to solve the murder with a wave of a wand is further complicated by her being a newcomer in an area with resident witches and other creatures; thus, even where magic might give an edge, there are suspects who could counter her abilities. This provides a pleasing balance between making the world different enough to be paranormal and keeping the investigation needed to be a mystery.
The novel is set in the same universe as Warren’s Vampire Knitting Club series and does feature an appearance by characters from those books; however, Warren provides enough context that readers who have not read any of that series will not be confused.
Quinn is an immediately sympathetic protagonist, having done something wrong for what are understandable reasons. This more than balances the slight mopes and moans of having been exiled and then tangled in murder, making her seem realistically complex rather than irritatingly angsty. Her aversion to and then involvement in the investigation are similarly well done, preventing her seeming implausibly enthusiastic for someone with no detective experience while also avoiding her remaining a passive observer. As someone with no relevant experience, she does bumble in a few places but ultimately succeed; depending on reader preference, this might either seem pleasingly realistic or slightly too much reliance on fortune rather than skill for a proper mystery plot.
The supporting cast are each a solid blend of cosy mystery trope and unique detail, creating a village of characters readers will easily believe could politely murder each other.
Overall, I enjoyed this novel. I recommend it to readers seeking a mystery that is complex without being byzantine in its twists, and that has the lightness of cosy fantasy.
