The work of Ivy Gamble was reserved to that of adultery and insurance scams. That is until the headmaster of Osthorne Academy came to her with a lot of money, hefty promises and a request- find a killer of a teacher at the school, and she will be handsomely rewarded.
The trouble is, it is a school for mages, a school where her twin sister teaches.
Not being magic herself, she goes about trying to blend in as best she can, pretending that she can do this. She can solve this murder without any problems. The previous investigators said suicide, and it certainly looks like it, but is it?
After awkward interviews and romance, she finds that pretending to be magic is a lot harder than being herself.
Can she solve this murder as a lowly PI in a school of magically talented people?
This book was written wonderfully and was easy to follow with text that was accessible and casual. The plot didn't hesitate or make it confusing,
I thought it was sad that she had a drinking problem; but was not surprised.
The ending, while predictable, was not entirely disappointing. I have read many murder mysteries, so, I saw the set up right away.
This is a fun book, a well written and casual book that 18 and up can read.
LGBTQ references are in this book, way to go!!
