LOVED this book. I wasn't sure if I would like it or not when I found that the murder that the heroine investigates took place in the 1800's, but the entire story takes place in present day. The only tie in to the past is the ghost of Granny Apples (and a few more along the way). I loved the character of Granny Apples and the other characters too. Good mystery, well explained, with plenty of action too. Can't wait to read the next one in this series!
note: this book is from a smaller publisher, which is too bad- I find a lot of the smaller publishers turn out some great mysteries and I think a lot of people might overlook them.
Interesting book about relationships oold and new, ghosts and hidden gold. Emma is going through an ugly divorce whenshe suddenly begins to see the ghost of her great great great grandmother. Ish want her name cleared for a murder she did not committ. Emma stirs up trouble in small town, Julian while looking for the truth. Throw in a handsome man and an unethical clairvoyant for good measure. 3.5 stars
While the author's depiction of ghosts doesn't necessarily fit with my belief of ghosts, that didn't detract from the fun story line and well-portrayed characters ...
All in all, I enjoyed this quite a bit more than most first-in-a-series cozies, and I'll definitely be back for more ...
