Returning to St. Lucia to complete his job, he turns to an islander who makes light of Todd’s troubles, but does provide information from a local obeah that may help thwart the witch. When this does not work, Todd arranges for a replacement at work and returns home to Australia where the witch follows him. Fortunately, Simonia’s aboriginal grandfather provides answers and a potential solution. Will a return to St. Lucia bring about an end to this attachment that threatens to ruin his marriage, or will it just make the witch stronger?

White Magic Woman is certainly captivating and well worth the read.
