Search - Ghost a la Mode (Ghost of Granny Apples, Bk 1)

I enjoyed this new mystery and am looking forward to reading book 2. Don't expect any recipes in this book because there are none which is a refreshing change from all the other cozy mysteries out there. I thought the ghost of Granny Apples was funny too.

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 ...

This one started out a bit slow for me. The middle of the book became funnier, and I enjoyed the interactions between the heroine and the ghost of Granny Apples. I did not care for most of the ending, because I hate it when a mystery writer goes from telling an interesting mystery to having a "Scooby-Doo" type ending. I guess I enjoyed the interaction between Granny Apples's ghost and her great(x3) granddaughter enough to read book 2 in the series, but hopefully the author improves her ending with the next one!
