Jim and Joyce Lavene's passing shocked the cozy community. To lose such amazing author's was hard to handle. But we pulled together and supported their children by showing love and kindness. These two wonderful people I got to meet a few years ago and they touched my heart and I am blesses to have known them. Their newest book Putting on the Witch was released on October 4th. And while it was hard to read, it was an excellent story with great characters. I hope you will pick this one up and enjoy a few hours of fantastic reading.
Series: Retired Witches Mysteries (Book 3)
Mass Market Paperback: 304 pages
Publisher: Berkley (October 4, 2016)

Synopsis
With their coven’s spell book still missing, Molly and Elsie—along with their ghostly friend Olivia, her daughter Dorothy, and her boyfriend Brian—are all on edge, especially now that Dorothy’s infamously wicked father is back in the picture. So when they receive an invitation to an exclusive Witches Ball, the ladies jump at the chance to dress up and have some fun.
The castle locale is spectacular and the party is hopping, but the festivities come to a swift end when a member of the Grand Council of Witches is murdered. With the whole place on lock down, the coven is determined to find the cunning killer, even with an angry council and a real Spanish Inquisitor breathing down their necks…
