Witty, charming, and delightfully magical—Whatever Ales You blends mystery, humour, and supernatural intrigue into an enchanting, must-read cosy mystery!
Misty Simon delivers another enchanting blend of mystery and magic in Whatever Ales You, the second instalment of the Magically Suspicious Mysteries series. With a Ren Faire setting, an inquisitive protagonist, and a dash of the supernatural, this cosy mystery keeps readers entertained from start to finish.
Verla Faeth, our determined heroine, is no stranger to trouble, but she certainly wasn’t expecting demons to turn up at her Renaissance Faire—especially not alongside a suspicious death in the tavern basement. When the barkeep’s cousin is found dead, Verla, her trusty dog Figiggly, and her ex-husband Finn set out to uncover the truth. The case is puzzling enough on its own, but with the added complication of possible demonic involvement, Verla is faced with difficult choices that could come at a steep cost.
Simon crafts a light yet engaging narrative, balancing humour with mystery. The chemistry between Verla and Finn adds an entertaining dynamic, while Figiggly provides delightful comic relief. The Ren Faire backdrop is richly described, offering an immersive and whimsical atmosphere that enhances the overall charm of the book.
While the mystery unfolds at a steady pace, the supernatural elements give it an extra edge, ensuring that it stands out among traditional cosy mysteries. Fans of magical whodunnits and witty, resourceful protagonists will thoroughly enjoy this instalment. With intrigue, humour, and just the right amount of magical mischief, Whatever Ales You is a delightful addition to the series.
