    About this audiobook

    Lee Barrett has agreed to attend a storage auction with Aunt Ibby-even though she suspects the forgotten rooms will yield more junk than treasure. Her skepticism vanishes once the two win a bid on an overlooked locker and uncover a trove of beautiful curiosities, including a stunning wooden carousel horse with gentle eyes and fading paint. But just before Lee leaves the fairground relic at a local repair shop, the sight of a silver samovar awakens her psychic abilities and conjures visions of murder.

    Lee prays the intrusive ESP episode was just a glimpse into the past-until her policeman boyfriend reports a dead man outside the repair shop. Apparently, the unknown victim had been hot on Lee's trail since the auction. And with the horse found dismantled, it looks like he was up to no good. What's the story behind the antique equine, and could a strange bubblegum-chewing woman with fiery hair have something to do with the crime? Guided by her gift and O'Ryan, her wise tabby cat, Lee's set on catching the murderer . . . before she's sent on the darkest ride of her life.

      ‘What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare?’ wrote a chap called William H. Davies, the poet laureate of the duvet day. He coined those words in 1911, which was clearly a more relaxed age. I’d like to see Mr Davies attemp

      So far this is my favorite book in the series. It kept a nice pace, the characters are fun, and they work well together. Aunt Ibby and O'Ryan are my favorites.
    • 4/5
      I feel like this one was longer than it needed to be, and about 2/3 of the way through I was losing patience because I could clearly see where the story was going and the clues were so clearly telegraphed that it was driving me crazy that Lee and her Aunt were being so obtuse. And then I turned out I was wrong about nearly all of it. Right direction, wrong track completely. So game, set and match to Perry. I still maintain it could have been tighter and shorter though. In general the series and this book are good solid cozies: great setting, likeable characters with realistic expectations (no 'police are dumb' here) and so far, pretty well crafted mysteries. Maybe a tad too long, but I'm on board for the next one.

      Lee Barrett & her Aunt Iddy bid on and win the contents of a storage unit. The unit once belonged to a Russian family who had a connection to Tsar Nicholas II.Lee & Iddy rescue a silver samovar, a cuckoo clock, a quilt w/ mysterious stitching, fine hand-made doll dresses, & a carousel horse which was carved by the original owner of a neighboring house & storage unit contents. Everything else is sent to the Goodwill or put into trash bags for pick-up.When Lee takes the horse to be restored the police find a strangled journalist who was well know for his historical books on treasure hunts and the horse in pieces. Two men then steal the trash bags and go to the Goodwill in order to go through Lee & Ibby's discards. The local "crazy" lady who runs around town on a pink scooter & reads palms in the park, turns out to be the granddaughter of the maker of the quilt & the carver of the horse.Then in the reflective surface of the Samovar, Lee sees six men, backs to her at a ship's railing looking out to sea.... It is revealed that the six men once were personal servants of the Tsar and came to America, each with a treasure that would insure the Tsar & his family to live in comfort had they successfully escaped the revolution.The historical parts of the book was interesting, but much of the rest of the book was boring, especially the portions about the Russian Tea Library Fundraiser....
    • 4/5
      I had not read any books from this author, but I do enjoy a good cozy mystery. This one had a lot in it that I enjoyed. Lee Barrett is a scryer, which means she sees visions in shiny objects, mirrors, silver, glass etc. She is also a 30 year old widow who lives with her nosy, retired librarian Aunt Ibby and dates a detective. She is a teacher but it is during a school holiday when this book takes place.

      On a whim, Lee Barrett and Aunt Ibby attend a storage locker auction. They bid and win a unit that Aunt Ibby saw something of value in. As they remove and separate the items they find several things they love such as a Russian Samovar, a wooden carousel horse, beautiful doll clothes and some carved wooden toys. Once they get the items home, Lee starts having visions of people on a ship as well as someone who is dead with blood dripping down their neck and a bear. She is not sure what they mean, but unbeknownst to her, she is setting a historical search in motion. Lee takes the wooden horse to a shop to be restored and that evening, the shop is broken into, the horse is taken apart and a man is found dead outside the doors. The dead man is the one in Lee's vision. That evening the police are called to the show. The horse had been dismantled and outside the shop is a dead man exactly as Lee saw it in the earlier vision. This was a fun Russian themed mystery, where some employees of the Czar were sent to America hiding treasure. With the help of Pete, her detective boyfriend, Aunt Ibby and her amazing research skills, O'Ryan a dead witch's familiar and some old friends, we take a fun and interesting journey through some history, some food and some criminal activity to solve the mystery not only of the murder, but of the missing treasure from the Romanov family. I am definitely going to have to check out the first three books in this series. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.
    • 3/5
      Book received from NetGalley.I thought this was a great book. It's a cozy mystery that takes place in Salem, Massachusetts. The main character while not a traditional witch does have a bit of psychic ability. She can scry both the past and the future which helps her solve various mysteries around the town. This one was really enjoyable especially since Salem is one of my favorite places to visit and I could picture the places mentioned in my mind while reading the book. My only issue with the book were the slightly overdone Anastasia references, actual Grand Duchess not the movie, throughout the book. I know it was a plot device, but I got a bit tired of it about halfway through. The rest of the book was great and it took me almost until the end to figure out "whodunnit". I really want to get the first book and read that since this was my first time reading anything in the series.

      Murder Go Round by Carol J. Perry is the fourth book in A Witch City Mystery series. It is late August in Salem, Massachusetts. Maralee “Lee” Barrett and her aunt, Ibby (Isobel Russell) are going to a storage locker auction. The first locker looks like it is full of junk, but Ibby notices the writing on one of the boxes. They bid and win. What looks like a space full of junk, turns out to be full of treasures. There is a beautiful hand-carved wood carousel horse wrapped in a crazy quilt, a gorgeous clock, Russian nesting dolls, and a gorgeous sterling silver samovar. But it seems that someone else wants their newly acquired gems. They sort through the many items and divide them into piles. One pile heads to the curb, one for the local charity shop, and the final (and much smaller) pile heads into the house. Pete Mondello, a police detective and Lee’s boyfriend, helps Lee take the carousel horse to Paul Carbone be refinished. That night Lee receives a call from Pete that Paul’s shop has been broken into. Someone took apart her carousel horse and the police found a man deceased outside Paul’s shop. It is soon obvious that the culprit is not finished. The next morning, they discover that the trash from the storage locker has disappeared from the curb during the night (trash men are not that efficient). The items at the thrift shop are also gone. What could they be looking for? Lee uses her special ability (she can see visions in reflective surfaces) along with clues from her equally unique cat, O’Ryan to help Pete solve the case. Murder Go Round is easy to read, and I like the setting of Salem, Massachusetts. While Murder Go Round is the fourth book in A Witch City Mystery series, it can easily be read alone. The author updates the reader on what has occurred in the previous novels. The mystery is intriguing. I like how it takes us back to Czar Nicholas II (the last Czar of Russia before the revolution). I give Murder Go Round 3 out of 5 stars. I did not enjoy Murder Go Round as much as I did the previous books in the series. I found information to be repeated (especially about the case) and the mystery was not difficult to solve. I was able to ferret out the culprit early in the book. I wish there had been less time spent on Raven and her tarot card reading. I did not feel it enhanced the story (it was distracting and the cards are confusing). I wish that Lee would embrace her abilities. I am tired of her complaining about her unique gift. Lee mentions more than once that she associates her gift (visions) with death and dying (what does she expect when she solves mysteries and helps her detective boyfriend). I believe the author needs move Lee forward. We need to see her character grow, develop and embrace her gift. I will read the next book in A Witch City Mystery series. I will give it another shot to see if there is improvement.
