Witchcraft and small-town antiques meet in Madelyn Alt's Bewitching Mysteries, a series of 7 books published between 2006 and 2010. The Trouble With Magic (2006) opens the run and Home for a Spell (2010) closes it. An Indiana antiques business is the setting, a woman sleuth does the investigating, and witches, carnivals and the paranormal sit around the murders. Humour runs beside the mystery. No new title has appeared since 2010, and the series is likely complete.
