Hattie Jenkins and her octet of immortal cats are back in this third installment of the Hattie Jenkins and the Infiniti Chronicles. The island's resources are being overwhelmed by victims of a magical drug known as Strands. As the local mental hospital rapidly approaches maximum capacity, Detective Trew calls on Hattie's herbal knowledge to assist in researching possible remedies for the victims. While researching ancient magical traditions at the local library, Hattie loses her temper with librarian Druida Stone, who has been purging all magical traditions except Romanian, because the lack of available resources in conjunction with the librarian's very unhelpful attitude is hindering her efforts. The next day Hattie's confrontation has earned her a spot on the suspect list when Druida is found murdered in the library. With the help of her cats, she sets out to prove her innocence by finding the murderer while continuing to search for a cure for the Strands epidemic.
The Witch of Bohemia is a delightful, fun addition to the series, and I look forward to the remaining books.
