Ms. de Montigny's novel, A Town Bewitched, is a terrific YA/MG supernatural mystery. A town comes under the supernatural sway of a mysterious fiddler and her bewitching melodies. It's up to Kira, a violin prodigy herself, to solve the mystery plaguing Hope. There's a real love of music at heart here and it shows in the prose. The book soars, rises, crescendos like a well-composed classical piece. Thrills, twists, mystery and likable characters. Recommended for younger readers. Author – Stuart R. West
