Charlene Morris finally has her B&B in Salem up and going, resident ghost and all. As she navigates her new life and her new friendship with Jack (a very handsome ghost), she's learning to go with the flow. Especially at Halloween. Salem goes all out for the holiday -- ghost tours, lots of tourists, Halloween and witch themed everything..... And, unfortunately......murder. When Charlene finds a local businesswoman dead in her shop, her first Halloween in Salem quickly proves both spooky and dangerous.

I love this series! Charlene is a strong, intelligent and determined main character. And she's backed up by some awesome side characters as well. My favorite is Jack though. He's life-challenged, but helps out when Charlene needs him the most. I feel a bit sorry for them though, as they would be interested in a relationship if Jack was a bit more corporeal. And I have to say I also feel a bit sorry for Charlene.....she just wants to get rolling on her new life & business, and dead bodies keep popping up.

Another great cozy mystery in this new series! And there isn't long to wait for the next book -- Mrs. Morris and the Ghost of Christmas Past comes out in the fall of 2020! Yay!! :)
