My 5-Star review in entirety published at Amazon for author Trisha J. Kelly’s jewel of a mystery:

Like the other guests who accepted an invitation for a getaway at the Jewel in the Crown Hotel, I enjoyed being transported along with them to the year 1973. However, they were selected by The Magic Club for a reason—to solve and reverse the kidnap/murder of Ruby Dorset.

At first I felt overwhelmed by the vast cast of characters, but eventually associated them by pairs: Becky and Neville; Chrystal and Kevin; Eric and Chantelle; Lucy and Adam; Samuel and Emily. Including, Onyx and Agate. There are a few more mortals and immortals, but each has their role to play in either solving Ruby’s abduction or being responsible for it.

I found the story intriguing, beguiling, and heartwarming as the characters transform for their own betterment. The author cleverly revealed important and imaginative clues for the lead characters to ferret out the double-crossers among them.

I thoroughly enjoyed this well-written story which has many elements going for it: time travel, the backdrop of Christmas, mystery, and witchery.
