Description:
In the sleepy town of Lost Maidens Loch, people sometimes disappear… Down a quiet lane in town sits a little shop full of oddities you’d probably miss if you weren’t looking for it. This is Love’s Curiosities Inc., and its owner, Temerity Love, is sought by experts all over the world for her rare and magical gift: the ability to find lost things and learn their stories.
When Lost Maidens’ pretty local school teacher is found murdered by a poisoned cup of tea, a strange antique hand mirror is discovered nearby. Temerity – with the help of witchy sister Tilda, their cats Scylla and Charybdis and the lovingly eccentric local townspeople – is determined to divine the story behind the mirror and its part in Miss Molly Bayliss’ untimely death.
If only grumpy out-of-towner Angus Harley of Lost Maidens Police wasn’t on the scene. Temerity can’t solve the crime without him, but he’s distracting, and in more ways than one. Can this unconventional duo solve the most mysterious murder ever to blight Lost Maidens Loch before the killer strikes again?
A magical and unputdownable whodunnit, perfect for fans of Adele Abbott, Amanda M. Lee and Leighann Dobbs.

MY REVIEW:
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
There is an antique shop owned by Temerity and she has the gift of holding an object and know where it came from and who owned it. When a local teacher, Molly, is found dead in her classroom then Temerity is asked to find out where the mirror came from that was next to the body.
With the help of her witchy sister Tilda and their 2 cats and a parrot to find out all they can about the mirror.
Inspector Hyland has always trusted Temerity to help solve crimes and he will be retiring so he is training Constable Angus Harley who does not believe that Temerity, being a civilian should have anything to do with helping. They seem to butt heads until she can actually prove what she is ca[able of.
We also find out that there is a male teacher who was obsessed with the teacher who died and would never leave her alone. We also find out that Molly may have ties to the town.
This was a fun and quirky book.
I received this from Bookouture and NetGalley for review.
