A Witch in Time by Madelyn Alt

Berkley (Hardcover release April 2010)

The latest in Bewitching Mysteries series by national bestselling author Madelyn Alt.

Stony Mill, Indiana’s newest witch, Maggie O’Neill, has been attached at the hip to the smoking-hot Marcus Quinn. Things couldn’t get any better- until her sister Mel gives birth to not one, but two babies…

Maggie’s visiting Mel in the hospital when a whispered conversation in a cafeteria sends chills down her spine. She can’t make out what they’re saying, but Maggie knows malice when she hears it. The next night, death visits the hospital…twice. Nobody bats an eye, but Maggie knows something sinister is haunting the hospital. Now she’ll need help if she’s going to tie two murders to one killer.

The Bewitching Mysteries feature small town single girl and fledgling empath Maggie O’Neill, her witchy boss, and an unlikely circle of ghosthunting friends, the N.I.G.H.T.S., as they investigate an increasing level of paranormal disturbance–not to mention a troubling series of unrelated murders–in Maggie’s hometown of Stony Mill, Indiana.

Paul Goat Allen, formerly Barnes & Noble.com’s SF/Fantasy editor, had the following to say about Maggie O’Neill and the Bewitching Mysteries:   “Mystery fans who seek out “feel-good” reads for their literary escapism (books by authors like Janet Evanovich, Charlaine Harris, Kyra Davis, et al.) should definitely check out Alt’s Bewitching Mystery saga, which is powered by her Everywoman heroine O’Neill. A small-town girl struggling to find her place in the world, she has an optimistic and idealistic outlook on an oftentimes malevolent and depressing reality — as well an addiction to old episodes of Magnum P.I. — that makes her one of the most refreshing and endearing protagonists to grace the amateur sleuth genre in years. Alt certainly picked the right name for this series. It’s a bewitching saga by a positively witchy chick. Highly recommended. “
