Publisher's summary

Middle-aged bookstore owner Willa Chance is looking forward to the opportunity of appraising a valuable private library that hasn't seen the light of day for 50 years...until she finds a dead body in the backyard and the ghost of the home's previous owner anxiously waiting for her inside.

Hampered by the persistent ghost who insists on keeping secrets from her, Willa navigates a sea of confusing clues as she struggles to uncover the connection between the recent murder and two murders 50 years ago. Is the answer contained in the secret she found in the library? Or the unusual bequest left by the long-dead owner of the house? Or maybe it has something to do with the mysterious journal that everyone seems to be after.

Once again, Willa's cat, Pandora, has to help her figure out the clues while she and the other cats of Mystic Notch try to keep vital mystical knowledge from getting into the wrong hands. Can Willa discover the identity of the killer in time, or will she end up being the fourth victim?

Ghost and Cats

An easy, sort of cheesy, but a clean murder story. Ghosts and cats and a dog solve the murder

Narrator issues

This seems like it could be a fun Cozy Mystery...and then the monotone narration made me want to run away. Honestly, the writing did not seem horrible, no matter how much the Narrator seems to dislike it.

Even the animals talk

I appreciate the ghosts talking but the animals is a littie much. They find the weapon and rescue the lead character. Liked following along with figuring out who did the 50 year old murders

Tale of ghosts past

I had so much fun reading this book! Mediums and ghosts flavored the story and lots of suspects kept the detectives on their toes. And the animals were wonderful!

Cats, dogs and ghost, oh my.

Another great story by Leighann. I love her books. This one was no exception. I enjoyed the twist and turns in this story, the ghost and i love the fact the cats meet and talk about protecting the humans. I know some people may think this is silly but this is a fun and light read and just plain good. I recommend this book and this series. Look forward to ore in his series.
