Review “Down the Hatch” by Lina Hansen Myrtle Coldron runs a Bed and Breakfast establishment in Avebury called “Witches Retreat” She is also a witch, part of the Witches Coven in the area. The members like to keep knowledge of the Coven quiet though, since the community is not fond of witches. This is rather unfair since there are also groups of Wiccans and Druids openly practising their arts. The current head of the Coven is getting older and wants Myrtle to take over leading the group. Myrtle is reluctant because she has only recently discovered she is a witch and is struggling to get control over her witch skylles. In fact all of the Coven members, except for the current leader and her grand-daughter, are struggling to use their skylles. Meanwhile, the current leader is not only unhappy with the undeserving and untalented druids and wiccans making use of their (the witches) sacred standing stones, but she’s also really angry because so are all those travellers and tourists! Then a traveller dies and is found in the cellar of the local pub. Myrtle tries to help solve the puzzle behind this death, because she doesn’t want any of her friends to be charged with being the murderer. A second person dies with the same symptoms. The medical examiner discovers that while the first death might be attributable to heart trouble, the second person shouldn’t be dead at all! Myrtle begins to put together an idea as to what’s really going on, but needs more information. When a third person dies, some of that information presents itself. With help from her fellow witches and non-magical friends, the identity of the murderer finally emerges. A very interesting and entertaining “who dun it”! In the spirit of openness, I was asked to read and review this book by the author. Since I enjoyed this book, I have downloaded the first book of this set, not having already read it. I’m curious as to the backstory.
