Old Bones and New Ghosts

#OldBonesandNewGhosts #NetGalley is the second book in this series, but the first book I've read.
I wss immediately entertained by the story and this colorful case of characters.
Marti Mickkleson is a great character, she certainly marches to the beat of her own drum, but since she's so close to receiving her inheritance, she's trying to act mature and responsible, which is no easy task.
Marti's sister is a true lady, much like her mother, but her husband is a weasel, and when someone ends his life, it seems Marti and her sister are suspects.
It's up to Marti to prove their innocence, with the help of a few ghostly friends.
This is a really great book and I'm going to purchase the first one so I can catch up!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of the book.

I have a tendency to dive into a book that isn’t the first of a series, like this second book, and generally that doesn’t matter too much because most authors are good at making sure a new reader isn’t lost. Thankfully, this is one such author. I met Marti, her family and her ghosts, and I will admit that at first, I wasn’t sure I was going to like Marti. However, by the end of the book, I thought she was a hoot. There were a couple of points that I thought the plot moved a little bit slow, but overall, I found this book to be well-written, witty, fun, and amusing characters. I am ready to read the next book in the series. Recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

#OldBonesandNewGhosts #NetGalley

I was excited to read a paranormal cozy mystery from a new to me author. I enjoyed following our main protagonist Marti Mickkleson, who navigates various challenges throughout the book while also seeing ghosts. I thought she was a fun no nonsense character who has a strong bond with her family. There are a cast of characters including her sister Rachelanne, and her children, her Mom, and her ghostly grandmother, Bertie. I thought at times the plot moved a bit slowly especially when we were home with the sister Rachelanne, dealing with her day to day life. I enjoyed unraveling the murder mystery and was surprised at who the killer was. I thought this was a good read and I would recommend it. Thank you NetGalley and the Publisher for providing me with an advanced copy of this book.

Old Bones and New Ghosts and a wonderful read. Marti is back in this second book and you will just love it. New ghosts and new mystery of what happened to them has Marti and her grandma trying to get the answers. I love how the relationship grows between Marti and her sister and between Marti and Dmitri. I love how Marti is in the center of everything and works to figure out the why. I'm hooked on this series already. I cannot wait for more in this series. Click it today.

Marti is considered the family screw-up but she must fulfill a condition of her father's will. Her sister Rachelanne is the one who works too hard to be everything her father had wanted, had two children, and an awful husband she is trying to leave. When said husband becomes threatening, Marti's friend Dmitri arrives to make him leave. But when that husband turns up murdered, both sisters are on the hook. Let the sleuthing begin and the laughs continue!
I requested and received an EARC from One Ghost Another Ghost via NetGalley. Thanks!

Old Bones and New Ghosts by Kay Charles continues the story of Marti Mickkleson and her ghostly grandmother and assorted other shades as she solves another murder. This was a very entertaining story with engaging characters appearing and disappearing. I would recommend this to anyone likeing ghostly stories and cozy mysteries.

Princess Fuzzypants here: Marti is struggling to keep her cool while she waits out the obligatory time before she can earn her inheritance. Her mother and sister, who have a way of making her feel inferior and a total failure, are driving her crazy. As are the ghosts that she can see but they cannot. In fact, her ability to communicate with ghosts is the reason so many in her home town think she is bonkers. If the ghosts she stumbles across are not enough, there is going to be new ghosts and he hits very close to home.

She walks a thin line as she tries to solve murders both old and new. Her confidential informants just happen to be ghosts, not something the local constabulary is going to take as a witness. How can she get justice for the deceased without convincing people that she is out of her mind? She has a stumble or two but she eventually keeps those she loves safe and brings the guilty parties to confess to their crimes.

Four purrs and two paws up.
