Mrs. Morris and the Vampire

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 😂😂 sssoooo I did that at the end of last year. Now I finally got to Mrs. Morris and the Vampire. I love Charlene. I love Jack and I also love Silva. There isn't much I don't love about this entire series. It has ghosts, murder, a cute cat and a quirky yet nosy do-gooder who gets into trouble and solves the mysteries. This has become one of my favorite cozy mystery series.

amateur-sleuth, bed-and-breakfast, cozy-mystery, friendship, ghosts, murder-investigation, law-enforcement, witches, snarky***** Charlene Morris is a fairly recent widow who bought a marvelous old mansion which she operates as a B&B in the historic town of Salem, Massachusetts and enjoys the company of a wonderful man who is a rather progressive ghost. This is book 5 in series, but easily stands alone. This time the holiday is Halloween and a scam artist/magician from NOLA purporting to be a vampire has set his sights on the daughter of one of the witches. But he winds up dead for real so Charlotte and friends get involved in the investigation despite the objections of the local detective. Great characters, both ongoing and temporary make this a great escape! Loved it! I requested and received a free temporary ebook from Kensington Books via NetGalley. Thank you!
