See Something is the eleventh book in the Witch City Mystery Series by Carol J. Perry. The series is set in Salem, Ma and stars Lee Barrett as the book's main character. Lee works for Salem's WICH-TV station and has take on a new role as the program manager at the station. While walking home from work one evening Lee finds a lady sitting in the commons who has lost her memory. Upon befriending the lady and giving her a safe place to rest, Lee once again finds herself as part of a murder investigation. Lee is also known as a scryer and her visions assisted in aiding in the murder investigation. Along with her police boyfriend, her aunt, their friends, and her "witch's familiar" cat they are able to assist the mysterious woman in regaining her memory and determining the motive behind a local murder.
I really enjoy this series. I live close to the setting of the book and enjoy that Perry accurately describes the area and where places are relative to each other. The only problem I had with this book was that the action wrapped up in about four pages at the end of the book. I wanted so much more in the ending: I wanted to hear more about Lee's romantic dinner, how the tv episode aired and all the details involved in the episode, and more about the programs Lee is now involved in. I also wanted to read more about Lee's visions. It seems as though in the previous books in the series her visions played a bigger role. I would recommend this book to readers who like cozy mysteries, enjoy "who done its", and enjoy animals that are sub-characters.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ -- One of my favorite cozy mysteries
This is one of my favorite cozy mystery series. The setting is charming. The characters are likable. The mysteries are engaging. And this one delivered all those fronts.
The only minor issue I had was how repetitive it got regarding Lee not missing her reporter job. It was brought up way too many times. On that note, I am not sure I am a fan of the author changing Lee's job. I actually think her being a reporter was part of the characters charm and leant itself much better to "mystery solving" than a program director does. That is just my two cents, though.

Book 11 in the series.
Fast, fun, easy read, with a touch of paranormal. Lately, it seems like all I can handle are light, easy reads, so this was perfect for me. And I enjoy Lee and Aunt Ibby, and the Salem setting. I always learn a little something new about Salem, MA, too. Lee's boyfriend is growing on me, especially since he seems to accept Lee's gift.
I always look forward to more Witch City.

This is one of my favorite series and I'm always happy to catch with the characters and travel to Salem.
This is fast paced, action packed and gripping story, highly entertaining and with some elements in common with a thriller.
There's a lot of suspense and you can feel Lee's emotions as she deals with a stalker and tries to solve the mystery.
It's a tightly knitted story that kept me on the edge till the end and I read it as fast as I could.
there are some big changes in the life of the characters and I love how the author develops them making them evolve and change.
I can't wait to read another story in this series, this one is strongly recommended.
Many thanks to Kensington Books and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
