Amanda Cadabra and The Hidden Depths (The Amanda Cadabra British Urban Fantasy Mysteries Book 5) Kindle Edition

by Holly Bell (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 203 ratings
'Super enjoyable, great characters'

'It always kept me guessing who done it, I couldn’t put it down'.

'Lots of mystery and intrigue'

Furniture restorer and covert witch Amanda is being good. Or at least she’s trying. The cold case of the Cardiubarn Murders is on the cusp of closure. The body she found in her obscure village is becoming a high-profile case. But what was the victim really like? What was the South American connection? Letting Detective Inspector Trelawney do his job is one thing. But how long can Amanda and her grumpy feline familiar sit on the sidelines while a beloved member of the community is hours away from arrest?

The real killer must be found. It takes a witch of a sleuth to plumb the hidden depths of village and villagers and face the perils of what lies beneath. Finally, Amanda and Thomas are looking forward to being able to draw a line under the Cardiubarn Murders' cold case. However, just as one chapter closes in their lives, a new adventure begins.

Amanda Cadabra and The Hidden Depths is a delightful cozy mystery that draws the reader into a world of picturesque English villages, unforgettable characters and the most enchanting of mysteries.

'Just when you thought Holly couldn’t do any better, she blows you out of the water with the fifth book in the Amanda Cadabra series.'

'Light, humorous and serious blend together nicely’

‘Buy it, read it, and enjoy it, just for the fun of it.’

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

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.

    Amanda and the Inspector are drawn into another paranormal mystery in a very quaint part of England. As she learns more about the fantastic history of the area, the inspector is learning to accept his paranormal roots as well. This volume ties up several loose ends from the series. I do hope it is not the end of the series as it would lovely to see the inspector and Amanda become more than good friends.! ( call me a romantic!)

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fun mystery of murder, magic, and discovery
    Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    An extremely fun mix of mystery and magic that delights the reader. Amanda and Detective Inspector Trelawney continue their journies of discovery both magical and practical as another case develops. With the help of Tempest the Cat, whose opinion of humans is very low, they attempt to solve their new case and develop additional information on the cold case of the Cardiubarn Murders. I love the humor and mystery of the series and the way that the plot develops so naturally. Great characters, great plot development, and the developments of the overarching story that each book has made a coherent series. I highly recommend the books.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Rarely have I enjoyed a book series more.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2022
    Format: Kindle
    Since I lived there as a child, I’ve been captivated by all things British. In fact, I set aside all but the absolutely necessary and binged the six books in the series so far. As of this writing, Amazon incorrectly repeats Book 1 as Book 7, leaving me bitterly disappointed when I finished Book 6 and immediately wanted to plunge ahead.

    The books are delightful. I both feared for the characters’ well-being and laughed along with them. The books are somewhat unusual in the genre because the protagonist isn’t an orphan, hasn’t had her life implode, and doesn’t inherit a bookstore/bakery/mansion/bed and breakfast from an unknown, wealthy relative. She doesn’t come upon her abilities suddenly and with surprise when she turns 16 or 18 or by accident. The books grow gradually and very naturally, expanding along their own storyline while creating new mysteries to be solved, without the repetition of essentially the same theme in book after book after book, ad nauseam.

    They are timelessly British. The language and interaction between the characters is formally polite while maintaining affection and familiarity, with little modern popular language to spoil the mood. In other words, courteously old fashioned but set in today’s world. I also congratulate the author on her vocabulary.

    The author manages to create depth in each character that I was able to relate to - I would seriously consider moving to Sunken Madly if it actually existed. The languages breathe life into the stories, and the names of places and people deserve a special mention for their creativity. Kudos, too, to the characters for drinking positive gallons of tea and the author’s lovely description of what is included in each meal. What truly British book could realistically leave out these details?

    I not only highly recommend this entire series, I am waiting with baited breath for the next book. It can’t come soon enough. And, although he’s not quite a Tempest, my own ‘iddle bo fluffums may need a very special treat, just because.

    FYI: To avoid writing six separate reviews, I shall be submitting this one for each of the other five books. I started the next immediately after finishing the previous one and didn’t want to stop my enjoyment of the read.
