Loren B. (Appleton, WI)

Light weight
I would say that this novel read like a typical "cozy" but that would be giving a well-written "cozy" a bad name.

When I read the synopsis I thought this would be an interesting mix of historical mystery/ghost story. It wasn't. The plot was drawn out with way too much of the main character's "in her mind" romance with her ex-boyfriend and not enough concentration on what could have been a fascinating story.
