Another wonderful continuing adventure
It is now a year on. Everything has gone Jill's way but the events to come will certainly test her.
I don't want to give too much away but Jill has encounters in CASS with a thief on the loose, Ghost Town to visit family, Candlefield to rescue someone, murder mixed up with a wedding and cat show.
Best to read the books in order but the cases are resolved within the story, so could be read on it's own, but the characters development has been gradual through previous stories.
It is a right mix and Jill is dashing around here and there.
The story has a wonderful flow to it that makes it a gentle read. The characters are all quite developed which makes opening the window to their world very easy. The story shines from the pages and has some fantastic wit thrown in. Couldn't put this one down. Fabulous read.

The book starts out with a re-cap of what happened in the first 24 books in the series. The events in this book take place a year later. Jules is no longer working in the office and Mrs. V has latched on to Feng Shui. Winky is still around. Jack and Jill plan to get married.
Something has happened to Hamlet and the dog has made a decision about his modeling career. There's a strange creature in the girls CASS dorm, there's missing gold, Ivers is till there, Ma Chivers is back, there's another murder and a cat show.
It's pretty much business as usual for Jill. I do like the reason Winky got the result he did in the cat show, though.

Witch is How Things Had Changed Book 25 Review
Dear Adele, another entertaining and wonderful story in the series. Jill certainly has her hands full with all the twists and turns of the plot lines. It's very interesting how you weave your story. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series. I highly recommend reading this series to anyone interested in reading a good story. Thanks for the entertainment.

Married...finally!!!
I love this series, and recommend it to everyone!! Yes, every single one of them!
You will see growth in all of the characters (well, maybe not grandma). :)
Jill learning her way through her role as witch, private investigator, animal caretaker, cousin, granddaughter, girlfriend, and now wife...shows her uniqueness and quirkiness.
Start at the beginning and by the end, you will love them as much as I do!

I love the Witch PI series and season 3 is off to a great start! In this book, Jill has a few mysteries to solve all the while prepping for her upcoming wedding. We get caught up with what has happened over the course of a year and we get to meet some of Jill and Jack’s new and one not so “new” neighbors. I definitely enjoyed this book but hate how it always leaves me hungry for blueberry muffins. Looking forward to the next one!

Relief. Spoiler alert.
Another sonderful story and a lovely start to part part 3. Even with the wedding fast approaching Jill has her hands full. Hopefully in this set Jill truly gets her P.I. on and starts to turn a profit. The wedding had me worried but Adele did brilliantly in not going the disaster route. I look forward to the rest of the series.

The only thing keeping me from giving this one 5 stars is that I was disappointed in the year time jump from the last book. I wanted to see Jack's reaction to Jill's big reveal. Otherwise, I think this is the best so far in the series. The transitions seemed more fluid and the assorted plot lines came together well.

Simply magical
Okay, that’s stealing from the ending which tells you it’s a good one, as is the entire book. Jill had fewer mysteries to solve in this book, but after all she had a wedding going on. Still she managed to solve a murder, figure out who had been stealing gold at CASS and save a friend from imminent death.

I have read a number of books in this (Witch P.I. Mystery) series. I strayed for a bit and recently picked them up again because they are very enjoyable and fast reads. Adele Abbott just lets the words flow and once you become familiar with the unusual and rhymed-named characters, it really quite a treat to read.

I bought the first of these books as a light hearted silly funny read and now I’m engrossed in Jill and Jack, amber and pearl, daze and blaze, even Mr Ivers, fun books to read, have already pre ordered the next one

A wedding, a murder and some laughter
What could possibly go wrong? In Jill's world, anything. A mysterious critter to identify, ghosts to seat and a cat that wants to be in the wedding! It is hysterical, as usual.

Which is how things had changed.
This mystery is one of the best of the series. Kept me interested all the way to the end. Everyone should read the series.

Good series.
It’s a good kickstart to the series. It was getting boring. Congrats to Jack and Jill (and Winky, of course)

I am so enjoying the ongoing story line. Racing to finish the series because I can't wait to see what happens next.

Crazy good
As usual Adele has done a great job at keeping the intrigue at a high level. This book was hard to put down. I look for continuing the series.

She’s kinda mean to her cat, but Winky sometimes deserves it. And she does lie. A lot.
