The Witch City Mysteries is Carol J. Perry’s flagship series, with 15 books published between 2014 and 2025. Set in Salem, Massachusetts, the books follow Lee Barrett, a former TV reporter who discovers she is a “gazer” with the ability to see visions in reflective surfaces. Her psychic gift keeps pulling her into murder investigations around the city.
Salem’s history and atmosphere play a big role in the series. Perry works local landmarks, seasonal events, and the city’s witch trial legacy into her stories. Lee’s aunt Ibby and her cat O’Ryan are beloved recurring characters who help ground the mysteries in a warm, cozy setting. The series has steadily grown in popularity with cozy mystery fans.
