I think this was an "I have nothing to read and this mystery looks diverting" purchase. Enjoyed the present-day story and Jordan's interactions with the ghosts more than the historical flashbacks to the lives of those same ghosts.

Very entertaining. Definitely looking forward to what they(Alderman and Jordan) do next.

3.5 Stars - While I was very engaged while reading, after some reflection, I'm finding points to nitpick. In particular, the character of Jordan is odd - she's a pretty incompetent psychologist, having no clue about the people around her (dead or alive), and miraculously sees ghosts now when she has never before. That being said, I mostly liked the secondary characters (particularly the dog), though Hattie and Charlotte also behaved quite stupidly. The dual mystery storyline, while occasionally jarring with the time switches, amped up the suspense and wrapped up tidily if not surprisingly.

I wanted to like this one much more than I did. By page 250..I just don't care much anymore. The story stories were certainly related, but I only slightly cared about the morgen story and did care about the 1890 story at all. I skimmed to the end and moved on. Life is too short to read books that don't grab ya. However....since it is a cozy set I g the PNW, I will look at the second book to see if it is more enjoyable for me.

The ghost part of this started out a bit hokey, but I got past it and ended up really liking it. Enjoyed the step back in time, too.

This was a very good book. The author put in enough twists and turns to mask the ending. Also having two murder investigations going at the same time, centuries apart was ingenious. I've already ordered the second book in the series. I highly recommend this book for any lovers of the cozy mystery genre.
