About the author

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.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2022Amanda 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!)
- Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2020An 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2022Each book in this series books me more into the overall plot. Loved that we finally got a few answers and look forward to going the answers to more.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2022Each volume is better than the last. Both intriguing and comforting, our heroine continues both to solve murders and expand her understanding of her intricate family history. Can't wait for the next one.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2022I enjoyed the story and the characters and the way the book is bringing the storyline together. Some of the things revealed in this book would have been helpful in an earlier book
- Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2021Light, humorous and serious blend together nicely. The villagers and other characters draw you in and become friends. Such beautiful writing.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2022Since 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2020Just 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. Absolutely love this book. I’m really enjoying Amanda and the inspectors relationship as they learn more about each other. Nice to see the original mystery of who killed her family solved. But the twist that there’s even more behind it. Absolutely looking forward to the next book. This is a wonderful series, super enjoyable, great characters, and keeps you wanting more.
