Story
Chelsea Sponks is quickly settling into her new life on Pendle Island, and slowly getting used to being a witch. The annoying talking cat? Still getting used to that. The almost-empty bank account? Time to get a job. Fast. When Chelsea uses the last of her inheritance to keep her friend Adam in employment, he rewards Chelsea and her cousin Lizzy with a free weekend stay at his family’s luxury ski resort, Chalet Roth, on the northern tip of the island. The girls have barely sat down in the Chalet’s mountain-top bar when Chelsea trips over a body.

Story
Sadie Alden got on a plane with no intention of looking back. She sold up her cafes back home and took up an opportunity that looked too good to be true. A beach side café on a remote island where no one knows her name, doesn’t that sound like heaven? Well...things are never simple. News of her arrival seemed to travel fast across the island of Hallow Haven, but the locals know things about Sadie that she hasn’t told anyone, things that even she doesn’t know. She’s barely started a tour of the place before she is dragged into a cellar to dodge the incoming storm.

Amber Blackwood, lifelong resident of Edgehill, Oregon, has earned a reputation for being a semi-reclusive odd duck. Her store, The Quirky Whisker, is full of curiosities. It has everything from extremely potent sleepy teas and ever-burning candles to kids’ toys that seem to run endlessly without the aid of batteries. The people of Edgehill think of the Quirky Whisker as an integral part of their feline-obsessed town, but most give Amber herself a wide berth. Amber prefers it that way; it keeps her secret safe.

It's hard being the youngest in a family of witches known for their power. It's even harder when that magical power has all but passed you by. Still, I was doing okay for myself. I like to think I was proving to the rest of my family that magic wasn't a requirement to living. Then Aunt Opal became the prime suspect in a murder investigation. Wouldn't you know it would happen right when everyone else in the family but me was out of town. Now it's up to me to prove her innocence, and a little magic could go a long way in helping me do that.

A ham and pineapple sort of day

Summary
Chelsea Moon has had better days. Weeks. Months. Years.
When real life gets too hard Chelsea decides to fly back to Pendle Island, a place she has not been since she was born. She’s looking forward to a vacation, but when she arrives, she’s quickly thrown into mayhem. Her Great Aunt Griselda has died, and Chelsea is needed at the funeral.
She’s barely halfway through a stack of breakfast pancakes when her cousin Lizzy drops another bombshell. Chelsea is a witch, and her Great Aunt didn’t just die. She was murdered.
Things go from bad to worse when Chelsea and her cousin start to follow the breadcrumbs. Her Great Aunt had been an infamous miser and hated by just about everyone on Pendle Island. Witches don’t get much more wicked than Griselda.
After an ancient legal loophole leaves Chelsea as the sole heir of Griselda’s estate, she suddenly finds herself in charge of a haunted house on a hill, home to a mad pirate ghost, a talking cat, and a burly lumberjack with a curious secret.
If that wasn’t enough, she’s got a dreamy sheriff to contend with, and a silver-tongued lawyer who is as charming as he is cunning. It’s a lot to process, especially when Chelsea learns about a family curse dangling over her head. The last thing she wants is to end up like her man-eater mother, but it seems she can’t help attracting attention...
With a curse to run from, a murder to solve, and a needy cat to please, Chelsea finds her plate fills up very quickly. There’s also the small matter of avoiding death and learning magic, but that’s easy enough. Right?
As Witch Would Have It is the first book in the Wicked Witches of Pendle Island mystery series. It’s fast, funny, and may contain a sassy animal or two.

A different take on witch craft
I liked this book and think it makes a great start for a new series. Mainly because I liked the idea of the different witches and how they get there powers, it made for a different listen. I especially liked the way the murder victim was mean to somebody and it brought them good luck, a novel idea and a lot of fun but that's not the only type of witch involved in this humours mystery. The main characters power, which isn't revealed until near the end of the story, sounds like it could get her into a lot of trouble but be fun for the reader or listener. The mystery was interesting but I did know who the killer was, so it could have done with a few twists but still enjoyable. The characters were fun if a little quirky and I think it will be a series I would visit again.
Down on her luck Chelsea decides to return to her home town to visit a cousin she has never met. Apon arrival she finds out she is just in time to attend her great aunt's funeral. She is shocked to learn that she is the sole heir to the dead womans property but that is nothing compared to talking to her cat and having him respond. Chelsea comes from a long line of witches and with a simple name change, she to will come into her powers. When Chelsea and her cousin receive a very unusual message from there Aunt before she died, it leads to the body being exhumed and a murder investigation is launched. Who would want to kill there great Aunt? It turns out to be a very long list and not very many people had anything nice to say about her. Chelsea will have to quickly learn about magic of she plans to stick around and solve her great aunt's murder but will doing so put herself in danger?
I liked the narrator but I think the editing might need to be looked at. A few times in the first couple of chapters words or sentences were repeated but not sure if they were mistakes or part of the story. Otherwise I enjoyed her retelling of the mystery.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
