Mirror mirror on the wall name a good book

I have read every book in this series and jumped at the chance to go back and listen to it all over again. Oh wow, so glad I did because I enjoyed it just as much, maybe even more. The author is very talented and paints a picture with her words that make it really easy to imagine the bright and colourful world Hayden finds herself in and to be honest I want to visit the town but especially the magical library. The mystery was interesting and I like as you start to suspect who is behind it, you are given some new suspects to start wondering about and are lead down the garden path. The main mystery (the murder) does get solved but it also has a long running mystery that continues throughout each book, where you learn a little bit more about her missing mother and the mysterious island. Even though the world is magical (although it is not really spell casting by witches, more things just happen) and the mystery kept you guessing to what was going on, it is the characters that I really love and make this series so much fun. I love the main character who is like able and despite being thrust into a new family she tries her best to protect them and make the most of the situation, the tough Grandmother with a soft heart, the eccentric fashion icon in the housekeeper, the talking cats that get there own party, the camera that always knows when a photo should be taken, the ever changing shops and house to name just a few of the magical things that make it so entertaining. All this combines to make a great story and I can't wait for the next audio book.
Its been a month now since Hayden got caught up in the bright light which transported her to her new life and family and her Grandmother thinks it is time for her to reopen and start running the towns newspaper again. The past papers have been mostly about gossip and local events but for her first time as editor, reporter and photographer she finds herself caught in a murder investigation. A whispered conversation and cryptic warning has her investigating the surrounding Islands and the ferry system that doesn't seem to want to take passengers to where they want to go. Before she gets very far the captain is found dead, the postman is attacked and she receives a parcel full of papers. Just what is going on? And why is her mother's name on a few of the papers all with the word denied by the side? A mother who disappeared two days after she was born. Can Hayden uncover the secrets that surround her family? And uncover the reason behind the death or will investigating put her new family in harm's way?
I liked the narrator. She has a pleasant voice this is nice to listen too. I especially liked the voice she gave the sassy cat.
