This was an impressive little cozy mystery. It reminded me of Heather Graham and her style of paranormal books, but with more of a “cozy” feel and less focus on “romance”. This is the 5th book in Salem B&B Mystery Series and works very well as a standalone. It was well written and well plotted. The mystery kept me guessing until the end and honestly surprised me. So kudos to the author for that! I loved the bits of Salem history that the author included. And the characters (most of them) were very likable.
The only slight issue I had was “BRANDY.” With not having read any of the previous books in the series. I was unsure what dynamic Brandy and Charlene share. Are they supposed to be good friends? Acquaintances? Because I found Brandy a bit of a witch with a capital “B” towards Charlene a lot of time.
Mrs. Morris and the Vampire is a fun one. We get a costume party where one who claims to be a vampire disappears without a trace. Later a body washes up ashore and lo and behold...it's the disappearing vampire.
Now Charlene can't help herself and gets involved trying to figure out what happened. Of course, per her usual, she gets wrapped up in trouble and if she isn't careful she may not live to see another day.
I was gifted this book by Kensington Publishing and saw (after the fact) that it was Book 5. Well me being me, I had to read the first 4 books first
