This is the second book in a series about the mysteries solved by Janet Moore. At seventeen, Janet is the most powerful sorceress in her world and is the leader of the White Sorcereras Guild. Her faithful sidekick and best friend, Willimena aWilliea Janis, is back to help solve more cases. Bettina Fellows, a five-year-old sorceress nearly as powerful as Janet, and a solid brass golem, who prefers the guise of a six-inch-tall woman, are new friends of Janet that come to Janetas aid more than once in the cases included in this volume. As in the first Casebook of Janet Moore, each chapter is a complete case and is aptly solved by Janet, with the help of her friends. In the first book the evil sorcerers were in shock that they were being challenged at all, but in this book the evil magic-users have recovered, somewhat, and attempt to exact their revenge.
The teenager Janet Moore is the most powerful magic user in her world and is the leader of the White Sorcerer's Guild of the Blue Light. When Janet moves into her modest cottage in Wyvern Glen Village, she meets Willie Janis, who becomes her close friend. Willie starts chronicling Janet's each new mystery or murder case after Janet solves the case where Willie is accused of murder. Janet soon runs afoul of the evil sorcerer, Manfort Yeer, whose nefarious deeds and actions make him Janet's nemesis. Janet's use of magic and logical deduction fast gains the teen a reputation as the world's greatest detective and everyone -- mortal and magical -- desires to use her services to solve their mysteries. An example is the dragon, Henry, who is wrongly accused of murdering a mortal maid. Every chapter in the book is a complete and different mystery.
