An accident waiting to happen. Sunken Madley village church hall seems safe enough for a dance class. Now there’s a body. Or is it two? Only ghosts for witnesses. Covert witch Amanda and her grumpy feline familiar must look for answers in the past. But whose past? With a spy, a saboteur, an uncooperative ghost, multiple puzzles, and herself as the number one suspect she’s going to need backup. There’s just one choice: the personable but intractable Inspector Trelawney. Only if Amanda can dare to trust him can they survive and solve the case before the murderer strikes again.

But who, in this peaceful English village would resort to murder? Especially so close to Christmas? In the words of Grandpa: ‘This one is going to be more complicated than the last one. Possibly ... probably. Definitely.’

Humorous and quintessentially English with excitement and magic.

Cat adorer and chocolate lover, British author Holly Bell’s life changed in a day. A best-selling author friend convinced Holly that she could write cozy mysteries, after many years' experience with non-fiction, photography and video making.

Holly devoured all of the Agatha Christie books long before she knew that Miss Marple was the godmother of the Cozy Mystery. Her love of JRR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings meant that her first literary creation in this area would have to be a cosy paranormal.

Having derived immense delight from the adventure of writing Amanda Cadabra and The Hidey-Hole and its 7 sequels to date, Holly has more in the pipeline.

Her favourite feline is a black cat called Bobby. He is black. Like her favourite hat. Purely coincidental.

Holly loves to hear from readers. Find her on amandacadabra.com/contact, Facebook.com/hbamandacadabra. She always responds in person.

The Amanda Cadabra Cozy Paranormal Mysteries (in order):

Amanda Cadabra and The Hidey-Hole Truth

Amanda Cadabra and The Flawless Plan

    5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderfully funny and magical mystery that hits on all points.
    Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2020

    The Sunken Madley village church hall seems to be in good shape, other than the floor; however, things are not always as they seem and things are heating up.

    The magic she has used in her previous cases has tripped some alarms and brought some attention to her village. She needs to be careful and not use her magic on a human again; how hard can it be? As the case develops there are questions of crooked builders, spirits, accidents, and the cold case that haunts the entire series.

    Can Amanda solve the latest case, help the Inspector on his own journey of discover, and protect her secrets? Read and find out.

    The book is well written, the characters are well drawn, the plot is fantastic, and the humor is wonderful. I recommend the book and the series highly.

    Amanda is a witch and has learned her craft from her loving grandparents. it is a secret of course, but some close friends know about her gifts. these are charming books and an enjoyable read!
    The supporting characters are just "right" for the story's tone and most will follow in each book of this delightful series.

    I have enjoyed every volume but this one was especially moving. Again there is the dual action, a contemporary murder but also the exploration of a long ago mysterious accident that cost the heroine her family. And strong hints of a romance to come ... I am eager for the next.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another Magical Adventure In Sunken Madley - I didn't want to leave.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 22, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    I really love Holly Bell’s writing style; it’s easy to read with intelligent prose and engaging plot-lines that is sprinkled with gentle humour. Her series centres around the purely fictional Sunken Madley which Ms Bell has populated with a host of captivating characters that I found completely believable. In other words, it's quintessentially English!

    I have fallen in love with our main characters and am enjoying watching them grow throughout this book; our resilient heroine Amanda Cadabra has got all the qualities that I look for in a female lead (she’s definitely got gumption) and Detective Thomas Trelawney is intelligent and a worthy hero. I can’t talk about our main characters without mentioning my favourite feline, Tempest; he’s Amanda’s familiar and just steals the scenes that he’s in.

    With each book, we learn more about the villagers and of Sunken Madley itself; The Flawless Plan features characters from the first two books as well as new villagers and visitors alike. Ms Bell writes her characters with many of the foibles that I see in my family, friends and the people around me. I think that this make her characters more believable for me; I feel I know them which means that it’s much easier to get caught up in the adventure.

    I love that this story kept me guessing; there are a few mysteries for our heroine, Amanda, to solve within these pages, but fear not dear reader, no frustrating cliffhangers here (Woohoo!) and there are enough twists and turns during this tale to satisfy any Miss Marple wannabe. ;-)

    I loved the fact that Amanda Cadabra and the Flawless Plan had me holding my breath on the edge of my seat, had me feeling all warm and mushy, reaching for the tissues to dry my tears as well as smiling and chuckling out loud.

    There wasn’t anything about this story that niggled or didn’t work for me, hence the high rating.

    I would just like to take this opportunity to say that much of the world building relating to the amazing history and somewhat mystical properties of Sunken Madley, including Amanda’s standing in the village, how and why the locals have a special place in their hearts for her was beautifully platformed throughout the first book. Jumping straight in with The Flawless Plan may mean that new readers could feel a bit perturbed about this aspect of life in the small village for Amanda.

    Also, as this is only the third book in a series there are still questions left to answer about Amanda’s family, her connection to Detective Trelawney and what the future may hold. In my opinion, this is a good thing as it leaves enough of a hook to ensure you're keen to keep reading.

    I have read all three of this series, I really enjoyed reading about Amanda and Inspector Trellawney and their adventures, the way they dance around each other neither revealing very much, and of course Tempest the cat who I'm sure more will be revealed about as the series continues, I can't wait to read the next book
