After going through an emotionally difficult divorce, Mitch McCaffrey believes he finally has his life straightened out. He loves his job teaching English at Carolina Highlands Community College. He is hoping to marry the lovely Diana Corcoran Winstead.
But his life falls apart when a student accuses him of sexual and racial harassment. He knows the accusation is bogus, but Monica Gilbert, the college Compliance Officer, pursues it with savage determination. She has more than philosophical differences with Mitch. She has personal axes to grind with both Mitch and Diana. She is determined to take Mitch’s job.
Mitch finds a good lawyer, Kathryn Turner. But Kathryn warns that the odds are against him, and the legal costs could wipe out his savings.
Mitch may have another option. He is a Magic User. But his training is incomplete. And his deceased mentor cautioned him about the dangers of using magic for personal gain. It could backfire.
And there’s something else. Monica is a witch. She has no such scruples.
But Mitch won’t give up, and prepares for a cat and mouse game, both legal and magical.

A great story centering on a law firm and a Magic User

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 13, 2022

This is an interesting story about a teacher who is a Magic User. It's about opposing political views and one side is being unfair. While a law firm is present throughout the story, I didn't understand why the series was called "The Haunted Law Firm" until the last couple of pages. That made me want to read the next books in the series to see what the author would do with that. I know I'm explaining it in a strange way, but I don't want to risk giving anything away.
My only gripe with the story was that it was so heavily focused on how terrible "liberals" are and a lot about the liberals was not believable. However, from a conservative's point-of-view, it would probably seem believable enough.
Aside from that, I loved hearing the detailed aspects of the meetings with the lawyers and the hearing. And from the beginning, the main character, Mitch, is very likeable and it's easy to want to be on his side.

A very enjoyable read, with interesting characters and a gripping plot. The magic aspect was deftly handled and made believable, with a fascinating explanation for it. The author clearly knows his story's background, both legal and geographical, and there is an important contemporary issue underlying the story. Highly recommended!

The Ethics of Magic by Robert L. Arrington, is the story of Mitch McCaffrey, a Carolina Highlands Community College full-time faculty member who teaches English while practicing his favorite pastime, magic. A reader might get the initial impression that magic could solve most any problem. Arrington leaves little doubt that magic might be a neat way to make your life easier (sort of like having ‘Hey Google”, without the hardware cost, turn on the house lights), but it can’t change lies into truth.

In a clever mix of multiple current social issues, Arrington molds his story around a combination of Race relations and the MeToo movement into a legal quagmire of cost, investigation, factual exaggeration, prejudice and nasty tricks (some magical and some not magical). The old saying about “Hell has no fury like a woman scorned” plays a major role in this tale. Without revealing any spoilers, trust me the character of Monica Gilbert is a piece of work. Witch is just one of the many adjectives I could use to describe her. I found myself experiencing the frustrations of McCaffrey as he coped with circumstances almost beyond his control. I wanted him to triumph.

Robert L. Arrington has an ability to put into words the thoughts of a person being ostracized by a society that is too ready to assume the worst about someone based upon the exaggerations and outright lies of co-workers. The story builds to satisfying conclusion. It held my interest and was a pleasant read.

I rate the book, The Ethics of Magic, as an overall 5 out of 5.

Engrossing!

I just couldn’t stop reading—I had to find out what happened next. The Ethics of Magic is an extremely engrossing, very well written story. Although I found a tale where the villains are all liberals a difficult read at times, I am going straight on to Robert Arrington’s next book in The Haunted Law Firm Series, perhaps hoping for a different theme next time.

Enchanting Story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 24, 2021

The Ethics of Magic by Robert L. Arrington provides the reader with a spellbinding, captivating story that involves current social issues. The author combines his knowledge of the law with positive thinking, “magic,” and ethics to create a riveting tale. Each chapter has a cliffhanger that leads you to the next legal obstacle. This is a great first book, and I await the author’s second book.

I found the storyline compelling without being forced. The protagonist is likable and the antagonist is just as unlikable. I look forward to reading about the Haunted Law Firm.

Characters that you really like! Real life circumstances with a magical twist! You want to see what happens! I couldn't put it down. Reminds me of sort of a cross between the Twilight series and the Sookie Stackhouse series.
