What The Cat Dragged In

Celtic Witch Mysteries Series, Book 1

De: Molly Milligan

Narrado por: Gemma Dawson

The body that turns up in Bron's garden has been there for decades, and he died of natural causes. Just rebury him and carry on as normal, right?

But it's kinda hard to be normal when the ghost of the dead man has been disturbed, and now he want...well, just what does he want?

It's down to Bron, a traditional hedge witch, to find out. If she doesn't, that ghost is going to be lingering in corners and upsetting kitchen chairs for the rest of her life. Creepy, tedious, and noisy, all at the same time.

She's helped by the unexpected arrival of her cousin Maddie from America, who is seeking connection and history in this uncertain age. And there's another mystery - why is this vivacious, friendly young woman so evasive and afraid?

Soon they are up to their knees in faery folk (don't trust 'em), druids (keen on trees), wild animals (Bron's a healer), the obligatory smoldering blacksmith (sorry, he prefers men), and the maddest Mad Great Aunt of all.

Life is never dull in Llanfair!

Not as silly as some books in this genera& a bit dark

This story was better than expected, has a more realistic attitude about magic, spirituality & folklore & gave that small village feeling.

Bland

I can't help thinking that this was supposed to be really funny (instead of vaguely humorous) and would have been if the narration had treated it as a comedy. Instead it was vaguely banal. Combined with a lack lustre ending..... well, I just don't feel inclined to continue this series. I only finished this one bcos I listened while on the go and uncaring if I missed bits.
It's a shame audible can't seem to fit the right narrator with the right book. The narration wasn't technically bad (no overt mistakes), just very dull. I imagine she would do well with audio travel guides or other non-fiction

Thoroughly enjoyed!

Immorally so enjoyable! The story was intricate enough but not too busy. Hope to hear more about the relationship with Harken.

Way better than expected

Molly Milligan has crafted a wonderful paranormal mystery. It is filled with wonderful characters that quickly feel as though they are your friends. This was an original take on this type of storyline. Gemma Dawson gave an outstanding performance as she brought it all to life.

Wonderful magical mystery

I enjoyed everything about this book! Great story, well developed characters and a superb narrator.
I am looking forward to listening to the next book in the series.

What the cat dragged in

Good story, very different from what normally read. Good end with potential for more stories.

Intriguing read

The book was a good read. Full of suspense. Makes you wonder about supernatural powers. The unsettled souls around us.

Love this book!

This book was such a pleasure in many ways because the writing is better than so many other books in this genre. The mythology and earth-based magic are alive, as is the land itself in Wales. The characters are warm and real rather than cute or plastic. As I listened to their interactions and began to understand their relationships, I enjoyed the layers, the humor. The narrator is just right for this book, portraying characters and events without overdramatizing things. The combination of this book and this narrator complement each other beautifully so that simply reading words on a physical or virtual page cannot possibly be quite as wonderful as an audiobook like this one. There are only 4 audiobooks in this series, which is sad, as the entire series consists of 8 books. I plan to enjoy listening to all that are available and may try reading because this world is so delightful to visit. My biggest negative criticism is that the cover art is trite and misleading. No pointy hats, or broomsticks.

Oh, thank the Goddess

this book is not like the other paranormal cozy novels. The witchy stuff is well described. The mystery stuff was good. The very best part the mc was not a whinny wimpy mess with no clue but somehow saves the day . But neither was the mc over bearing and to righteous in their beliefs that they are in charge . in other words READ OR LISTEN TO THIS BOOK IT IS AWESOME!

the narrator

I had not read her before bit I really enjoyed the character development and the progression of the story. suspenseful as well.
