Two booksellers, gregarious Molly and reserved Emma, discover a treasure trove of books about the occult when they meet at an estate sale in this cozy, narrated with straightforward clarity by Janet Metzger. The mystery moves around a bit among a host of seemingly unconnected characters and events that are held together by Metzger's understated tone and unhurried pacing. The budding attraction between Molly and Emma provides a welcome turn from discussions of satanism and witchcraft. The chapters each begin with the title, author, and physical details of an occult book, a device that is sometimes interesting and sometimes an unwelcome interruption of the action. A thorough description of a card catalog for those who have never seen one provides an amusing note on changing times. S.G. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2024]
