Ghosts, Garters, and Grimoires

Ghosts, Garters and Grimoires: Emerald City Paranormal Cozy Mystery

Theresa Crater

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Attorney Dana Preston’s husband, Kevin, is running for a seat in the House of Representatives. Even though the marriage is on shaky ground, Dana still is playing the dutiful wife at fundraising and public appearances. Marcus Robertson, the campaign manager, has been helping Dana navigate the waters of politics. When he is murdered after a fundraiser, his ghost appears to Dana, asking for her help to identify his killer. With the help of her friends and family, she works to solve the mystery and bring Marcus the justice he deserves.

Crater presents a paranormal storyline that I would consider more of a thriller than a cozy mystery. Be aware that there is some profanity in this book. The story itself is compelling and suspenseful and there are plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader engaged. I’ll admit that I had difficulty keeping track of all of the characters and got a little confused trying to keep up with some of the plot points. I thought it was helpful that the author gave some background information from the first book to help the reader get an understanding of some of the main characters. Overall, I found this book interesting and think other readers would enjoy it.
