It's about Time

In this delightfully spooky series spin-off of Carol J. Perry's beloved Witch City Mysteries, Lee Mondello and her detective husband have plenty of experience solving crimes in Salem, Massachusetts--and now Lee's Aunt Ibby is starting a sleuthing career of her own in the witch city... Nothing can spoil the mood at a one-year-old's birthday celebration like the cops arriving--but it's not because the party got too rowdy. Instead, Detective Pete Mondello has a search warrant for a tenant's apartment. When Lee's aunt Ibby leads the police to Josh Alper's locked door, she's surprised to learn that her renter has redecorated . . . with what appear to be masterpieces stolen from a museum back in 1972. The paintings may be found, but Alper--an artist involved with a shady, cult-like group--is officially missing. So Ibby and her pals, who hold weekly watch parties of their favorite show, Midsomer Murders, decide to jump in and do some real-life sleuthing using the skills they've learned from DCI Barnaby. Ibby, a semi-retired librarian, may be in her sixties, but her tech skills are top-notch . . . and with some help from her friends Betsy and Louisa, as well as O'Ryan the clairvoyant cat, that spells trouble for any criminals in Salem. But when Alper's body is found in the Salem Woods--felled by an unusually sophisticated weapon--Ibby must buckle down with her team and prove that she's just as talented an investigator as her beloved niece . . .
