And now for the third book I finished over my vacation! Although it looks like\u00a0If Walls Could Talk<\/em> by Juliet Blackwell (same as the witchcraft vintage store mysteries, but this one is about home repair and a good deal more gritty) is fast approaching putting me at four completed. See, what happened was, at the airport on the way home I was struck by wanting to read a LOT of ghost cozy mysteries so I googled ‘mystery partner ghost’ and and the first result<\/a> was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, googley overlords.<\/p>\n

The page I found was a huge list of cozy series that featured ghosts and summaries of the series. I picked out a few to start with (Aunt Dimity, Family Skeleton, Haunted Bookshop, Haunted Home Renovation<\/em>) and started with Aunt Dimity’s Death.<\/p>\n

Well, it was a mystery, but not the kind I was expecting. Not a single murder! But that’s not a criticism, since a book not being what I expected when I didn’t\u00a0 read the summary all the way is not its fault in the least.<\/p>\n

Since the amazon page is withholding summaries from me, I will donnez:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lori Shepherd’s life has been in a downward spiral. She’d had a happy childhood with a loving mother and stories her mother made up of the adventures of ‘Aunt Dimity.’ But now her mother’s dead, she can barely get any work, and a law office just contacted her to tell her that not only is Aunt Dimity real, she died some months ago. But she has a task for Lori.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There was a ghost as promised and I am satisfied.I will be reading the next book in the series.<\/p>\n

The book itself was very much like a fairytale, but the idea of a fairytale and not a real one where your life is in constant peril. It was fun to read and picture the descriptions, because the places in the book sounded beautiful.<\/p>\n

It’s not an A because as much as I enjoyed what it was, it didn’t give me all I wanted – the plot wasn’t full enough for me. Hopefully the next ones will be more meaty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
