Mrs. Morris and the Pot of Gold is the sixth book in Traci Wilton’s Salem B&B Mystery series. (Traci Wilton is the pen name for the collaboration of seasoned authors Traci Hall and Patrice Wilton.) Charlene Morris is a young widow who has established her bed and breakfast in Salem, Massachusetts, and has discovered that she is joined in her home by its late resident, Dr. Jack Strathmore. This book takes place at St. Patrick’s Day, several months after the fourth book in the series and about 18 months after she has taken possession of her bed and breakfast.

With a full house for St. Patrick’s Day, Charlene has made reservations for the group to attend a special event at the AOH, an Irish organization, for dinner and festivities. She expected to show her guests a good time, however Charlene never expected to walk into a murder scene when she returns to the building after the evening has come to an end to retrieve one of her guest’s coat.

As Charlene becomes more friendly with Shannon Best, the organizer of the event and cousin of the attacked man, she is drawn into the events surrounding the family. Much to Sam’s chagrin and Jack’s support, Charlene helps to solve another mystery in Salem.

This is another installment to a great book series. I very much enjoyed this book and do recommend it and this series.

Charlene Morris is back with more Salem adventures. The B&B owner is entertaining guests around St.Patrick's day and something goes terribly wrong. Charlene witness an attack at the Irish community dinner she attends with her guests. She is the only witness and gets pulled into the drama.

We have lots of action with Charlene, her Inn employees and he resident ghost Jack. There's also some tension with a mysterious and standoffish guest that adds more layers to the story.

I adore this series and this is another great installment! Highly recommended.

This is my third in the series although it is the sixth instalment and in this story, Salem's Irish community is hosting the annual St. Patrick’s Day event. There is to be a party including a dinner of corned beef, potatoes and cabbage at the local club for Charlene Morris's B&B guests. There is a mix-up with the tables and Charlene's entourage ends up sharing a table with Aiden Best and his mum, Shannon. Protagonist Charlene is a terrific amateur sleuth and gets involved when a relative of Aiden and Shannon, Connor Gallagher shows up, and then acts up in a drunken state. Charlene later returns to an upstairs room to collect a forgotten tweed coat, overhears a heated exchange and stumbles across Connor in the dark, who's not moving.

Set in Massachusetts, Mrs. Morris and the Pot of Gold was well-crafted, swiftly paced, witty and thoroughly entertaining. Charlene is a widow who bought an old mansion she called "Charlene's" and she enjoys the company of Jack Strathmore, the progressive ghost of the former homeowner. The mystery was very engaging and I was kept guessing by the killer concealment in this lively yarn of surprises. There's a good subplot to delight the reader as well. I can’t wait to visit Charlene's in Salem again and see the gang - Silva the cat, Minnie the cook and housekeeper, Jack, Avery et al. Very highly recommended.

I received a complimentary copy of this novel at my request from Kensington Books via NetGalley and this review is my unbiased opinion.

3.5* upped to 4
This is not my favorite as some parts are very slow and the pace is a bit uneven. That said I enjoyed and had fun, the characters are as likeable as usual.

Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

In the sixth book of the series, Charlene, our lovely B & B owner, as well as, her guests, are attending one of the St. Patrick’s Day festivities. She takes pride in offering her guests a unique experience when they stay. The guests are all animated as they attend an Irish party at a local AOH (The Ancient Order of Hibernians) hall that provided a full dinner of corned beef and cabbage and a truly Irish experience including green beer and a leprechaun! Unfortunately, there was a mishap in the reservations and rather all at one table, they were split up into different seating arrangements. Determined to make the best of it, Charlene sat with the host and her son, getting to know them and their heritage. Mason, her young six-year-old guest was excited to meet a true leprechaun. and all was going well until the party was crashed by a loud and obnoxious family member, Connor, who was not welcomed at the event. Although Connor’s appearance put a damper on the festivities, the evening ended well until one of Charlene’s guests forgot her coat. As Charlene heads upstairs to retrieve it, she hears an argument, a thud, and someone rushes past her. Turning on the lights she finds an injured Connor on the floor. Despite the fact that Connor was semi-conscious, he later passed away in the hospital. Will Charlene be able to find the clues, in time to keep her new friends from going to jail for murder or will her luck run out?

This is a favorite series of mine. The resident Ghost, Jack, is always helpful to Charlene, albeit, he is jealous of the homicide detective Sam, who is sweet on her. I enjoy Jack, his determination to help Charlene with the investigation, even though he is confined to the house, he has learned to use the internet to help find clues and employs his medical knowledge to the cases. Sam is also quite interesting, although a bit mysterious. Charlene’s guests are a fun group expect for one. Sheffer LaCroix. Sheffer won’t share any personal information with Charlene, or the others, and she finds him frustrating and downright annoying at times.

I would love and opportunity to stay at a bed and breakfast like Charlene’s. I think Salem, MA is a place I would enjoy with all its history. Charlene herself has overcome several obstacles over the years and is a strong protagonist with an attention to details. Her housekeeper Millie is talented and adds to the humor of the story, as well as her part-time employee Avery, that has become like a daughter to Charlene. I highly recommend this series. The dynamic duo of Traci Hall and Patrice Wilton have worked their magic once again.

I requested and received an advanced copy through Kensington publications and NetGalley.

Mrs. Morris and the Pot of Gold by Traci Wilton is a great cozy mystery that is the sixth book in the wonderful Salem B&B mystery series. I just love this series.

This is such a cute, fun, entertaining, and addictive series. I love the balance between the paranormal elements, the cozy mystery setting, and the murder/mystery plots. And this book joins the others in excellent reading.

I am always a shoe-in for cozy mysteries that also incorporate holidays or seasons within the plot, so of course this book (and this series overall) are right up my alley. One of my favorite locations in general is Salem, Massachusetts so this checks every box for me.

I was pulled in from the very beginning and Ms. Wilton paced the narrative just right that it kept me engaged and wanting to drop everything to be able to continue reading…

Charlene, Jack, Avery, Sam, Minnie, and the full character cast are perfectly placed with new characters sprinkled throughout, but not too many to overwhelm the reader.

This was such a fun St. Patrick’s Day themed cozy mystery that really adds to this gem of a series, and I hope this series never ends.

5/5 stars

I love Charlene and Jack , each book gets better and better .All the characters are wondeful and engaging , it feels like visting old friends when reading this series .This time around theres a Irish family and gold , Charlene and Jack will need to put on their sleuthing hats to fine the end of the "rainbow".

Wow what a read. This book moves along at a really great pace which is perfect for the story. It has characters that you want to know and you cant help but love them and a story that grabs you and keeps you reading until the end. This book needs to be read, and on your TBR list, there is no doubt about it.

This is one of those cozy series that I turn to when I need a sure thing. With six books, so far, I haven't been disappointed. Charlene is enjoying her new life in Salem after the death of her husband. Her B&B is doing well and she now has two men in her life - a resident ghost and a real life flesh and blood guy. It's different to say the least. Add the occasional murderer to catch and life is never dull.
As an outing for her B&B guests during St. Patrick's Day, Charlene has taken them to a corned beef and cabbage dinner.....with a side of dust up and death. So much for the luck of the Irish. One of the attendees, Connor Gallagher, punches a leprechaun and then later has another confrontation, this time with his killer. As Charlene is the only witness she does her own investigating with the help of Jack (her ghostly housemate) and various other friends. She may not be able to pick the killer out of a line up but when has that ever stopped any amateur sleuth?
As a well plotted cozy this series checks all of the boxes - lovely setting, good mystery to solve, enjoyable recurring characters and a cat. It works as a stand alone but be ready to binge the rest of the series - it's that good.
My thanks to the publisher Kensington and to NetGalley for giving me an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

This is a Cozy Mystery, and this is the 6st book in the Salem B&B series. I have read most of the other books in this series before picking up this book. I love books with ghosts, and this book has one Ghost character in this book. I really love the characters in this book, and the mystery was really well done. This book did keep me guessing. The beginning of this book I found to be slow to get going, and that did drive me crazy until the book picked up. I wish Jack (the ghost character) worked a little more in the beginning because we mostly got his character near the end. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Kensington) or author (Traci Wilton) via NetGalley, so I can give an honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

Mrs. Morris and the Pot of Gold is book #6 in the Salem B&B Mystery series by Traci Wilton.

Charlene takes her guests out for a corned beef and cabbage dinner. She stumbles upon a scuffle. Can she and Jack help investigate the murder and stay out of Sam’s way?

I really like Charlene and Jack’s relationship. They are a good team. With the B&B, there’s always an interesting array of characters. There were a lot of not so nice characters so trying to figure out the murder was a challenge. I didn’t figure it out until Charlene did. There are a lot of sweet moments in this book and I can’t wait for the next one.

Thank you to the author, Kensington Books, and NetGalley for the Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Traci Hall and Patrice Wilton keep giving us more and more of their Salem B&B Series, and I couldn't be anymore happier. Charlene Morris has become so dear to my heart. Her keen ability to pull information out of people always helps her find the culprit. With her live in ghost, Jack Strathmore, Charlene gets to the bottom of things. Since Jack can't leave the estate, he is handy doing research on the computer. He is always there for Charlene, and makes a great sounding board. Our favorite characters are back. Minnie, Avery, Sam, and Silva the cat makes the foundation to the books even more solid. Charlene finds not one, but two murders that need to be solved amongst a family that has secrets upon secrets. One that happens in broad daylight at a funeral! If you haven't read this series yet, you are missing out. This is one series that always keeps you guessing, and gives you a few surprises along the way.

Well-written and well-paced mystery that kept me guessing until the very end. I loved the addition of the Irish community in this story as well as the continuing story of her employees and their lives. Every time I read one of these stories, I feel like I am visiting with friends. My only issue is that Jack is starting to feel a little creepy. I love paranormal stories but he seems to be overstaying his welcome. There's nowhere for his storyline to go; his murder has been solved so he's just hanging out ruining her chances of a relationship.

Mrs. Morris and the Pot of Gold is the 6th book in the Salem B&B series by Traci Wilton. This series is such fun, with its' light paranormal vibes and wonderful characters. I look forward to each addition with happy anticipation! As suggested by the darling cover, this addition takes place during St. Patrick's Day. The path to solving the mystery is challenging, our resident ghost, Jack, is still with us, and the charm that is Salem is still shining through. A very enjoyable read!
Thank you for granting my request for and ARC, NetGalley, Kensington, and Traci Wilton. All opinions are my own.

Charlene Morris runs a bread & breakfast in Salem, MA. She also has a resident ghost with whom she has a close relationship. It’s St Patrick’s Day and Charlene takes her guests to a local Irish dinner. Unfortunately, on the way out that evening Charlene finds one of the attendees murdered. The route to finding the murderer is tough and dangerous. I enjoyed this book. The B&B is wonderful, I wish I could visit. The characters are wonderful. I recommend reading.

Charlene Morris owns a Bed and Breakfast in Salem Massachusetts. The descriptions of the B&B in this book have me wanting to book and trip and explore. I wish it were a real place.
The mystery in Mrs. Morris and the Pot of Gold centers around St. Patrick’s Day and an Irish family in Salem. There are lots of secrets to ferret out. Charlene is determined to understand what is happening but the key players try diligently to keep their secrets.
In somewhat normal fashion, Charlene gets herself into trouble that had me wondering if this would be her last snooping expedition.
Jack, the ghost resident at the B&B, is very helpful in finding out information about key players. I still think he should move on to the afterlife. I’d like to see where things would go if Charlene focused a bit more on Sam.
Charlene’s parents come to visit and her mother is sweet as pie. There was never any explanation for it, so I suppose there is one more mystery to add to a future book.
I would recommend Mrs. Morris and the Pot of Gold for a read to while away your hours and if you like the idea of hidden treasure.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this book.

What girl's lucky enough to have two guys interested in her...except in Charlene's case, one was a handsome ghost she could only be friends with. The other was a little more interested in her than she was in having a relationship right now. Jealous ghosts can be such a pain, lol! But Jack's really an awesome ghost and he's come so far from where he was in the first couple books. He's a huge help when Charlene's investigating (and not supposed to be) since he can look things up online for her.

I don't think this one's main theme was quite as interesting to me as the previous books. There was sure a lot of family drama going on and it would've been a little extra hard to guess the killer this time. The showdown was pretty tense with Charlene having sleuthed with an unlikely sidekick.

Avery's side story's always been really interesting to me, and she's definitely come a very long way from when she first started working for the B&B. Charlene gave her some good news at the end, and Char's parents even pitched in a little to help Avery as well. They probably look at her as the granddaughter they never had. Their news at the end should prove pretty interesting! I'm definitely eager to see what unfolds in the next book.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book provided by Kensington Cozies via NetGalley, and my opinions are my own.

My rating does not reflect the one I would like to give as there is no three-and-a-half star to pick from, but three stars work. I have had ups and downs with the entire “A Salem B&B Mystery” series, and the sixth book, Mrs. Morris and the Pot of Gold is no exception. The story has good and bad in equal measures. It also has an Irish holiday, a leprechaun, a mysterious guest at the B&B, and murder. In a nutshell, it has everything a reader might want in a cozy. Yet, I still have some issues with this book.

Charlene is a gracious hostess, Minnie is wonderful as always, and Avery and Sam add emotion to the plot. Taking guests to an Irish holiday celebration in town at a very Irish pub delights Charlene’s visitors. The leprechaun gives children and adults ideas of riches unheard of and nightmares, but the party crasher, Connor, evokes tension and trepidation in the party-goers, and for good reason. After the party breaks up, Charlene returns to the pub to retrieve a forgotten coat for one of her guests, only to find Connor in an argument with a hooded figure; then the lights go out, but she can still see good enough to watch Connor fall to the floor, and the unknown figure shove past her. The victim doesn’t have any injuries that can be seen but dies shortly after arriving at the hospital.

Of course, Charlene can’t stay out of the investigation, nor can her resident ghost, Jack. Before long, they are knee-deep in searching for answers and find only suspects and more questions. Several suspects are very likable in this story; not all of them are Irish, and one we hope will be back in another book. There are a few twists, but for the most part, this is a straight-up murder with little need to search far for likely culprits. Automatically, the leprechaun and the victim's family members are the prime suspects. Motives can be found in the past but don’t scream at the reader.

Even though Charlene and Jack, with a bit of help from Sam, track down the killer. I felt there was too much Irish myth in this book, mainly in the family and drinking area. Not all people who are of Irish decent are related, drink heavily, or run pubs. I did not feel the killer played a big enough part in Mrs. Morris and the Pot of Gold the killer was almost non-existent and not believable. The finale was where nearly all the action came into the book and gave it the spark it was missing. I still do not like the way Sam is treated in this series, and I feel it is well past the time when Jack should move on and Charlene should find a best friend that is alive. However, I love the ending of this story and hope more surprises are yet to come.

Charlene Morris has a full house for St. Patrick’s Day. Charlene managed to snag tickets for her and her guests to the corned beef and cabbage dinner at the Ancient Order of Hibernians club. After a good time, the group is ready to depart when a guest remembers she forget her scarf. Charlene returns to retrieve the scarf and ends up stumbling upon a brouhaha. Collin Gallagher is on the floor and the second assailant almost knocks Charlene down the stairs in their haste to depart. Unfortunately, the individual had their face covered so Charlene cannot provide a complete description. Collin is pronounced dead at the hospital and Detective Sam Holden soon pays Charlene a visit. Of course, Sam warns Charlene to leave the case to the police. Charlene ignores Sam and begins looking into the case. She gets assistance from her resident ghost, Jack who is good at ferreting out information online. Can Charlene unmask the killer before they strike again? Mrs. Morris and the Pot of Gold by Traci Wilton is the sixth A Salem B&B Mystery. It can be read as a standalone for those who are new to the series or missed a book along the way. I like Traci Wilton’s casual writing style. It makes the story easy and enjoyable to read. There are great characters in this series. I like Charlene, Minnie, Avery, and Jack. I enjoy Charlene and Jack’s interactions. The mystery was well-plotted. I like how Jack helps with the investigation. Charlene needs to get over some of her qualms and utilize him more. I do feel that Charlene needs to work on her sleuthing skills (so she does not tick people off). There is a side mystery featuring a guest that gets on Charlene’s bad side. I like how the author incorporates Salem lore, businesses, and history into the story. Minnie prepares some delectable meals, and the descriptions will have you salivating. Mrs. Morris and the Pot of Gold was a fun cozy mystery. I enjoyed my visit and I look forward to returning in the next installment. Mrs. Morris and the Pot of Gold is great craic with scrumptious corned beef, chocolate coins, a shrouded slayer, a cagey guest, fun festivities, a gracious and obliging ghost, and an inquisitive innkeeper.

Charlene has hired a van to ferry her B&B guests to an all-you-can-eat corned beef and cabbage dinner hosted by Salem’s Irish community at the Ancient Order of Hibernians club—but she should have booked a hearse. It’s never a good sign when the family black sheep drunkenly crashes a party by punching the guy dressed as a leprechaun. But things go from troublesome to fatal when Charlene stumbles upon a second brawl in an upper room—and this fight Connor Gallagher loses, his anonymous assailant rushing past Charlene, hidden by a hoodie.
The interaction in this book between Charlene and Jack is so cute! I love the way they work together to solve crimes. This turns out to be a little bit trickier for Charlene she has many issues and problems pop up when she thinks she's on the right trail BAM! something weird happens I have to say I would have been right behind her the way things looked she was on the right path. It never seems to fail when she thinks all is ok she is wrapped up in a mess and gets hurt. But in the end, she solves the crime and has a great visit with her parents who surprise her with something I can not wait to see how it plays out!
