I remember distinctly what I was wearing the day I first came face-to-face with a ghost.

This is the first book in the Haunted Vintage Mystery Series. Cassandra "Cookie" Chanel has opened a vintage clothing store in the small town of Sugar Creek, Georgia. Cookie suddenly discovers that she can see ghosts when she attends an estate sale at the home of deceased socialite and real estate mogul, Charlotte Meadows. Charlotte decides that Cookie will find her killer and solve the murder.

Soon after acquiring Charlotte, a cat shows up at Cookie's shop. The cat, named Wind Song after Cookie's grandmother's favorite perfume, shows some remarkable skills. Cookie's friend Heather runs the local occult store but must admit that she is not psychic when confronted by Charlotte. However, Wind Song quickly shows that she can use a Ouija board and begins communicating with Cookie.

The murder of a private investigator spurs Cookie to delve more into Charlotte's death. Her mettling puts her in several awkward situations with handsome Detective Dylan Valentine coming to her rescue just in the nick of time.

Interesting beginning to a series. We don't learn why Cookie can see ghosts now as opposed to a childhood talent. I enjoyed the vintage clothing tips and Heather's tips for corralling the ghost are funny. I look forward to reading more in the series.
