Another Advance Review for “The Witch of White Lady Hollow”

C. David Belt has a real way with character development, creating an interesting story, and keeping you wondering what in the world is going to happen next; thus, it can be a challenge to put the book down!

Most of the time while reading The Witch of White Lady Hollow, I was reminded of how it feels to be a participant in a murder mystery dinner party. This was a murder mystery dinner in book form–sometimes even complete with an actual meal for me to munch on whilst continuing to further my reading after a good, long workday.

I had an easy time painting the town and scenes from the book in my head; I felt like I was there in the mind of each character as the author transported me, the reader, from chapter to chapter, exploring the vantage point that each character had on any given event in the story.

I enjoyed the time I spent getting to know the Moonshadows and their friends, foes, and associates. (By the way, “Moonshadow” by Cat Stevens is an excellent song!) Also, discovering the clues and piecing them together helped keep the old noggin sharp, which was a very mentally-satisfying activity. Thanks for the opportunity, David!
