Alfhild Daemonne has inherited an inn. And a dead body. Estranged from her witch mother, and having committed to little in her 30 years, Alf surprises herself when she decides to start a new life. She heads deep into the English countryside, intent on making a success of the once popular inn. However, discovering the murder throws her a curve ball. Especially when she suspects dark magick. Additionally, a less than warm welcome from several locals persuades her that a variety of folk - of both the mortal and magickal persuasions - have it in for her. The dilapidated inn presents a huge challenge for Alf. Uncertain who to trust, she considers calling time on the venture. Should she pack her bags and head back to London? Don’t be daft. Alf’s magickal powers may be as wonky as the inn, but she’s dead set on finding the murderer. Once a witch, always a witch - and this one is fighting back. A clean and cozy witch mystery. Take the opportunity to immerse yourself in this fantastic new witch mystery series, from the author of the award-winning novel, Crone.
Genre-hopping introvert and word witch living somewhere between the forest and the sea in East Devon, UK.
Jeannie finds inspiration everywhere: in myths, stories and songs, while people watching, a word here, a look there. However, her main inspiration comes from the landscape. Devon has it all - a rocky coastline, pebble and sandy beaches, narrow winding lanes and picture perfect cottages, steep cliffs and an abundance of forest.
A good day for Jeannie means a blustery wind, racing waves and salty rain. She lives with her husband and two dogs, makes a lot of soup, plays too many computer games and loves watching movies.

The Wonkiest Witch is the beginning of Jeannie Wycherley’s series, The Wonky Inn. Alfhild Daemonne’s story is so delightfully fun and entertaining. Alf finds out she has inherited her mother’s inn in the countryside of England. When she goes to claim her inheritance, all she finds is a crumbling inn, unpleasant townspeople, and a …. Dead body! She suddenly is thrown into a world of mystery, dark magic and suspense.
I enjoyed The Wonkiest Witch. I found this cozy little mystery a fun read. I could not help but to laugh at some of Alf’s adventures and the situations she gets herself into. The narrator on the audio version did a great performance bringing Alf to life. I hope she continues to narrate the other books in the series.
I give The Wonkiest Witch a very well deserved five plus stars. I can not wait to read the next installment from The Wonky Inn series.
I received the audio version of this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Jeannie Wycherley. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
