Take a sometime wizard, send him back to his paranormal hometown, add in a cast of quirky characters and supernatural beings, including a smart Irish Wolfhound familiar, sprinkle with magic, then top off with a big dollop of humour, and you have A Wizards of Little Hope Cozy Mystery.

After losing his wife five years ago, Bran sank into a mire of depression and over-eating. Two years of grieving later, he got his act together, moved back to his hometown of Little Hope, and embraced his wizardly credentials.
Now he's the proud owner of a hippy shop in a town brimming with wizards, witches, and all manner of supernatural oddballs.
When a customer's husband is found dead in the old quarry, and the local police chief won't hear a word about foul play, it's up to Bran and his familiar Kale the Irish Wolfhound, his brother Forest, and their cousin Roger the Lodger, to chase down the clues, catch the killer, and get the poor woman some answers.
But Bran's family are an interfering bunch of old wizards, and Captain, his grandfather, refuses to take a backseat when there's a mystery to be solved.
Falling for a childhood friend who's just returned to town couldn't have come at a more inconvenient moment, but Bran's determined that nothing will stand in the way of another chance at happiness.
But will she still like him once she gets to meet the family? It's a big ask. Will they even get to go on a date with the killer seemingly intent on upping the murder count?
Get ready for a wild ride where one sneeze can see you turned into a rabbit, the local baker is a real giant, and even the pub is run by a pair of vampires. Watch out for Grenadine the super-sentient spider too!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun start to the series, better than expected.

Bought this on a whim, after completing Harry Potter, looking for something with magic and wizards that's a little more laid back. I didn't have too high of expectations but the world and characters the author paints really draw you in. I'm starting book 2 now and really hope this series continues beyond the 3 books, this is a magical town that I wouldn't mind coming back to for more magic and mysteries. I was especially impressed with how much world building the author achieved in a relatively short book, all of the quirky shops and their eccentric owners, it was definitely a fun ride exploring Little Hope. Again, really hoping there are more books to come in this series.

At first I was leary of a cozy mystery being written by a guy. Worried that there might be derogatory things about women. I must say that I am impressed! Great story, great place, great characters and superb world building. Kudos!

4.0 out of 5 stars Really cute and quick read--Looking forward to subsequent books
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2023
This book moved at a decent pace. While I wished I could have more details on the back story, I know it would've slowed the plot and I think the author made the right decisions on what to gloss over for now. I'm definitely already waiting on the next book to get those details.

I enjoy a good cozy mystery and this definitely was one. Most of my cozy mysteries are about normal humans and are set in the US or Ireland, so this being a UK one with wizards was a fun detour from my usual choices. I appreciate that the resolution wasn't completely predictable. Having read Book 1, now the question is whether I go ahead and burn through the other books as they come out or get them and save them for beach reads over spring break.

I have a feeling that the subsequent books in the series will push my 4/5 to a 5/5, based on how charming I think the author has made many of the characters. They were so fun I often had to remind myself that we had a murder to expect to get solved.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2023
Bran had to learn to live again after losing his wife and he is now living a new life in his hometown. Kale might now be my favorite familiar of all time. This story has everything you want in a cozy mystery with magic tossed in and a family that is soo hilarious. I adore everything in this story and look forward to more!.

Well it was a lot better than some of my kindle purchases but I'm not sure this author will become a favourite. I did love the canine sidekick but the older generation were pretty obnoxious and the constant references to Bran's late wife and Roger the lodger got pretty boring. Also the solving of the crime was rather sudden coming out of nowhere, I may not always guess right but I do like to try to work out whodunnit. This gave no opportunity.
