The first in the enchanting new Magical Menagerie mystery series where things are not always what they seem. Georgie Johansen returns to the charming, coastal town of Twilight Cove and quickly finds herself in a whirlwind of romance, magic, and murder!

It's been years since screenwriter Georgie Johansen last visited her Aunt Olivia's farm in the coastal town of Twilight Cove, and things have certainly changed. First of all, it's now an animal sanctuary, and then there's the new farmhand who's as mysterious as he is handsome. Her first day on the farm, Georgie encounters the eccentric Dorothy Shale, an older woman who lives in a cabin in the woods. There are rumours that Dorothy's a witch, but Georgie doesn't believe that. Although, Dorothy does have an unusual magical presence around her...

When Dorothy ends up murdered, suspicion falls on Georgie—she was the one who found the poor woman's body, and being new in town doesn't help with the suspicion. Things only get worse when it turns out that Dorothy left her valuable plot of land to Auntie O!

Georgie must act fast to clear her and her aunt's names by finding the real killer. But as bodies start to mount up, the pressure rises. With the help of the unusual powers of Dorothy's two dogs and great-horned owl, can Georgie uncover the truth before she becomes the killer's next target?

      Fox's (A Room with a Roux) charming series starter follows screenwriter Georgie Johansen, who returns to her beloved home of Twilight Cove, OR, just in time for a neighbor's murder. When the police discover that the victim left her property to Georgie's Aunt Olivia, they set their sights on Olivia and Georgie as the prime suspects. With the help of family, old friends, a possible new beau, and a trio of uncanny animals, Georgie gets working to clear her name. Hallie Bee Bard's narration makes this an easy listen. Rather than employing different accents, Bard changes the depth and pitch of her voice to differentiate her characters. Every character remains distinct, and this is helpful for listeners, as the back-and-forth dialogue is vital to understanding the investigation. Georgie's voice is pleasant, brimming with interest and care for those around her. Listeners will appreciate Bard's special touches, as she is never afraid to give the dogs a fun howl as they aid in sleuthing. VERDICT This entertaining cozy has many appeal points, including animals, small-town life, and a bit of magic. Listeners will be enchanted and excited for the next installation in Fox's promising series.--Matthew Galloway
