A magical, funny, sad, mesmerizing book by Sarah J. (Sara) Gаiley is a novel about Bridget Jones who didn’t make it into “Hogwarts.” Ivy Gamble didn’t want to have anything to do with magic. She’s always been content with her simple life: a steady job as a private detective, an apartment that’s always empty, and a small problem with alcohol. All of that suited her perfectly—and least of all did she want to turn into her strange sister Tabitha, an gifted teacher of magical arts. But when Ivy is hired to investigate a terrible murder of a professor at Tabitha’s private academy, she plunges into the case headfirst, imagining the life she missed—and trying to solve a mystery that slips away like a wave of a magic wand.
