For adults who love Harry Potter - that's how I'd categorize this fantasy debut novel that centers around a mystery. Our heroine is one of a pair of sisters - her sister has magic (and went to a boarding school for children with magic) while our heroine is just an ordinary person. Now grown up, our heroine is a P.I. while her sister teaches at that boarding school. Their worlds collide when a murder happens at the boarding school and the headmaster thinks the police have fingered the wrong person for the murder. She hires our heroine to find the real killer.
The writing in this book is terrific. BUT - and this is a big but - the author doesn't let her writing style get in the way of the plot. Something interesting happens in every chapter - which isn't the case in most books with beautiful writing. Highly recommended.
