The Ghost and the Haunted Portrait by Cleo Coyle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Pen and Jack (the PI ghost) find themselves caught into murders related to a set of paintings being exhibited at the store. Jack is puzzled by a woman's portrait he knew when he was alive, and Pen is trying to find who killed the art's owner. I love the scenes when Jack takes Pen back to his time in her dreams. This is a great series!

Mrs. Jeffries and the Yuletide Weddings by Emily Brightwell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first Mrs Jefferies mystery, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved the setting and the household characters, and I had so many suspects that not one stood out to me as the most likely. My library has all her books since she's a local author, and I will try to read them all, in order.
A former governess is stabbed to death in front of the house of her former charge, a few days before the girl, now grown, is to be married. Mrs. Jeffries and the staff of the Inspector's house rush to solve the murder before Christmas, and the wedding of two of the staff.

The Ghost and Mrs. Fletcher by Jessica Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I hadn't read a Jessica Fletcher book in a bit, and I forgot what an easy read they are. And just like with the show, I could see things that Jessica, smart as she is, didn't notice until later. Still, it was a fun read. Cliff Cooper owns the oldest house in Cabot Cove, and he is murdered as he lays in the hospital dying. The suspect list is not that long, but as they didn't realize he was murdered until a few days later, Seth may not be able to get enough information from an autopsy.

The Queen's Jewels by Jessica Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jessica gets hired to lecture during a crossing on the Queen Mary II, and of course there is a murder while on board. There are also jewel thieves, MI6, RAW, and Mossad agents, insurance company investigators, and a mysterious but charming old man. Will everything get resolved before they dock in New York? The description of the ship were very nice, but I wish she's described the food also.
