Love the first one in the series and this one as well. Light humor, but serious story line. I enjoyed learning about the main character's father. Only wish the ghost was featured more.

I loved the first book and I was completely enchanted with the second installment. The author always add just enough humor to keep it light, but yet, does have the serious elements in it. I love the complex relationships between the characters, they go from happy to crazy without missing a beat. The only issue I did have was that I would have loved for the ghost to have a more prominent place in this story, she barely had any dialogue or major conflict in this addition. Nevertheless, I truly enjoyed this mystery and being able to lose myself in the story and characters.

This is a Cozy Mystery, with way too many employees in a Library in a small city of twenty thousand. Doesn't anyone own a Tablet? It is slow going, a lot of self pity on the part of Carrie. Her father shows up after years of being gone, to jail, was one of the places. He is looking for a fortune of lost gems, he stole with a friend, who still lives in town, and owns of all things, a jewelry store! Her Aunt, and Uncle are precious, and deserve better from her. There is not enough romance between her boyfriend Dylan, and herself. I have no clue, what either one looks like? This could have been a really good book, however, the ball was dropped somewhere.
Thanks!

This is the second book in the Haunted Library Mystery series. As with the first book, you don’t have to be a fan of paranormal books to enjoy this as the ghost character plays a minor role and often just feels like another character in the story. The mystery is solid, but I would have enjoyed more character development.

Carrie Singleton has had almost no contact with her bad dad, Jim, during her life. Now, she finds him sneaking around her cottage in the middle of the night. It turns out that he wants her help chasing down his half of a $7 million jewelry heist he planned with local jeweler Benton Parr. Carrie kicks him to the curb, thinking that he’s (thankfully) disappeared from her life once again. But she soon discovers that her father has been arrested for the murder of his thieving partner, Parr. Carrie, unaware that her insurance investigator boyfriend is already on the case, decides she’s going to track down the gems herself. And what, if anything, does her library’s resident cat and his fascination with a hole in the wall have to do with anything? A fun, quirky cozy that fans of the genre will enjoy
