Riddler's Edge #1-3
Riddler's Edge Boxed Set
Welcome to Riddler's Edge - a small Irish town filled with magic, mystery, and an overabundance of murders ...
In this boxed set you'll find the first three books in the series: A Little Bit Witchy, Witchy See, Witchy Do and Lucky Witches. All three books are full-length cozy mysteries. Join Aisling Smith as she takes her first steps into the supernatural world and learns ... is she a little bit witchy?
Book One: A Little Bit Witchy
There has most definitely not been a murder on the Riddler's Express.
Aisling Smith is about to try out for a new job - a job writing for a paper she's never heard of. But seeing as she's currently writing classified ads and obituaries, it would be foolish not to give it a shot.
Riddler's Edge might be a small town, but it's definitely not boring. The train hasn't even pulled into the station, and already a woman has been murdered.
According to the grumpy but gorgeous Detective Quinn, the passenger's death wasn't a murder at all. He insists that Bathsheba Brookes died of a nut allergy. Aisling doesn't believe it for a minute. She intends to discover the real story - a difficult challenge, considering the town's inhabitants seem to be keeping some very big secrets.
Riddler's Edge is a town where people wear sunglasses after dark, and creatures howl in the woods. It's also a town where, despite the strange occurrences, Aisling feels right at home.
But even if she gets to the bottom of Bathsheba's death, Aisling might not get to be the Daily Riddler's newest reporter. There's one final, mysterious test that she must pass - a test carried out by the newspaper's owner. And Aisling suspects he might be looking for more than just a journalist.
Book Two: Witchy See, Witchy Do
There's been another unfortunate death in Riddler's Edge. And just like last time, this one definitely wasn't a murder.
Or was it?
When Heather Flynn is found hanging from the church bell, it seems clear that she killed herself. But Aisling Smith is convinced otherwise - and not just because it appears that Heather's death was a resurrection spell gone wrong. There are mysterious symbols painted below Heather's body - symbols which emit a green glow that only Aisling can see.
It's Shanty Season in Riddler's Edge - and seeing as Heather was a member of the local choir, Aisling thinks it might be time to sing for her supper. Well, to sing for her story, anyway.
But when yet another member of the choir is killed, the case gets stranger yet. Aisling and Detective Quinn find themselves involved in the gruesome game of Witchy See, Witchy Do - a game from which no player has ever emerged alive.
Book Three: Lucky Witches
Just because Detective Quinn is on holiday does not mean that the rest of Riddler's Edge gets to take a break.
And it definitely doesn't mean that Aisling misses him.
But even if she did miss him - ever so slightly, mind you - she has far more urgent things to worry about. Like the fact that every single person the detective asked to look after his lighthouse has met with an unfortunate accident.

Easy Read
Entertaining and quickly gets your interest. This series is great to just jump into the next story. It's a continuous story so, although each of the situations is resolved at the end of each book, the overall story of the main character is still unresolved at the end of this series and you need to continue to buy the next books. I don't like any series that goes beyond 3 or 4 books, no matter how much I like them. I get tired or bored and want to change from a mystery to a love story and then a supernatural followed by a historical. I don't want to read 10 books in a row all with the same characters. If I switch and read some others in between I lose track of them when I pick up the next one. So I won't be reading the next one at this time and hope I can follow the story when I come back again in a few months...if ever. The lack of an ending I did find disappointing, which is why I gave it only 4 stars. It's good for young adults who like supernaturals of all types and it isn't awfully scary. No real sex scenes either, which I don't feel is necessary to keep me reading.

I realised that I had two box sets of this series - this three-book one (bought cheaply on sale), which I have finished, and the full ten-book set in which I am currently reading book #8.
The author has a good sense of fun, especially when it comes to puns in business and character names (I love the Vander Inn), along with the "spoken" ones (which are pointed out as intended or unintended, in parentheses, as are these words) - in brackets, for those who didn't pay attention in grammar lessons, although "double-inverted commas" sometimes have the same description.
By books five or six, this heavily "fun" writing style began to grate a little, and the main character's learning curve as to the strengths of her (previously suppressed) magical powers appears to be leveling off.
For those wanting some fun, light-hearted, magical escapades full of red herrings, I recommend this series, where chapters/novellas are not overly long. Personally, I would have preferred fewer but longer novels with some rather darker humour mixed into them.
Three and a half stars, rounded up to four, because only three stars would be too few.

Great books!
I really enjoyed reading these books. The characters are well developed, the storylines are interesting, and the mystery keeps one turning the pages. I enjoyed how characters from the author's other books are woven into these stories. I am definitely looking forward to reading more in this series.

A little bit witchy
Irish reporter moves to a small town with a surprising number of visitors, a daily news paper a read bodies. Interesting new world with fun residents.
