Of the three Granny Apples mysteries, this was my favorite. These are fun, light reading with some history thrown in. (

Granny Apples is the fun ghost of a woman hanged for a crime she did not commit, and her descendant is a woman who sees / hears her and other ghosts. The descendant is Emma who also has a weekly TV show and is well known for her ability even if most do not believe it. Emma gets a call from a friend who says that she wants the ghost of her first husband gone. Then said ghost arrives with more information including his concerns about their daughter. Lots of research to be done and more to work with a very angry ghost. This is a good cozy and not ghost busters or whatever, just a satisfying read for an afternoon.
Sandra Murphy is excellent as narrator and the fact that I listen at 125 speed has more to do with my " hurry up " self than anything else. (

This is the third book in the Granny Apples series and I am enjoying them. In this story, an aquaintance of Emma's, Joanna Reid contacts her for help with the ghost of her ex-husband Max. Emma is not really interested, but contacts her daughter Kelly to find out if she has heard from Lainy, Joanna's daughter. Emma decides to intervene when she finds out that Lainy has tried to kill herself 3 times and is now in a facility called Serendipity. As she meets with Lainy and her ex-fiancee she realizes that the engagement ring Lainy was wearing is haunted. This takes her on a trip to Pennsylvania to the town of Jim Thorpe where the Molly Maguires were hung, apparently wrongfully. Can Emma help the ghost of Addy find peace? Can she save Lainy from the haunted ring and help her reconcile with her fiancee. Another interesting and entertaining cozy read. (

I just love this series and this book might be the best one yet. I loved the story about the 'haunted' diamond and the plot was really well crafted. The characters continue to be very three dimensional and well written (and the book was very well edited too - a rarity lately!). I think the author just does an excellent job overall and even though it seems she's going to start playing around with some relationships, something I don't really care for, I'm still looking forward to the next book.

Jaffarian's welcome third entry in her paranormal series (Ghost à la Mode; Ghost in the Polka Dot Bikini) sparkles as brilliantly as the story's haunted diamond. Incorporating historical interest with likable characters and steady suspense, she also makes paranormal activity seem plausible. One of the best cozy authors for light chatter and low-key humor, Jaffarian is currently juggling three series with aplomb! Victoria Laurie and Juliet Blackwell would be good read-alikes.
