Publisher Description
Murder isn’t always crystal-clear . . . especially when the prime suspect discovers she’s a witch.
Violet Mooney owns The Full Moon crystal shop in quaint North Harbor, Connecticut. Still grieving her beloved grandmother’s recent unexpected death, she takes comfort in her fat orange cat Monty and her work. Not everyone in town is thrilled with her business, however. When disagreeable town councilwoman Carla Fernandez picks a fight over Violet’s "voodoo shop," the two have a very public confrontation. Of course, when Carla turns up dead, Violet gets little sympathy from the police as suspect #1.
But the shock of two policemen showing up at her door pales in comparison to the sudden appearance of her estranged mother Fiona and a surprise sister, Zoe. What Fiona reveals will rock her world and her sense of self—and reawaken her long-dormant mysterious power. Good thing. She’s gonna need it . . .

Protagonist really just unlikeable
Sorry, but the protagonist is a closed-minded Karen, which is really hard to believe since she owns a crystal shop. She believes she knows everything but doesn’t believe what’s right in front of her. She reads auras and “prescribes” crystals but magic is beyond her ability to accept. She’s also judgmental but can’t take what she dishes out. And to top it all off, she’s quite entitled despite her ignorance of a great many things. I’m more than three-quarters of the way through and she still hasn’t redeemed herself from my first impression that everyone would have been better off if she were the one who was murdered (not really a spoiler since this is one of the premises of the book). Honestly so sad I bought this book and the two follow-up books. I hope she becomes even somewhat palatable but this book is taking considerable strength of will to finish.
