Description
Members of The Reading Club of Retired and Capable Ladies learn from their September book that acquiring new skills keeps their brains younger. In October, they agree to try practicing magic, and their naïve attempts set loose energies that ricochet through their lives like negative ions after a lightning strike. The results lead to police accusations over a poisoned, comatose man, the accidental release of a specter from a book, and the unwanted attention of misogynist conjurors belonging to the Guild of the Supreme Brotherhood of Manroots.
