Ghost of a Potion (Magic Potion Mystery #3)

Ghost of a Potion by Heather Blake
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 Stars. Welcome back to Hitching Post, Alabama where Carly Bell Hartwell owns and runs the Little Shop of Potions, and occasionally stumbles onto a murder. With the approach of Halloween, Carly Bell isn't in any rush to welcome this day. For the next three days, ghost that have not crossed over are allowed to come back and have Carly Bell and her cousin, Delia help them finish up their business here on earth so they may cross over, or return to their graves until next year. All Carly Bell wants to do is hibernate in her house until Nov. 3

Detective Dylan Jackson, Carly Bell's boyfriend has another plan for her instead. His mama, Patricia Jean Jackson is throwing a costume ball and it would mean so much for Dylan to have Carly Bell to attend this function with him, even if the two women will never get along. But before the two women can pretend to be civil to one another, Haywood Dodds, one of the residents of Hitching Post is murdered and Patricia Jean Jackson is found to be standing over him with a golf club in her hand, and Haywood's ghost isn't playing by the rules and shows himself to Carly Bell before the witching hour. Carly Bell has a few days to help Haywood's murder be brought to justice before he is banished back to his grave for another year, and then there's the fact that Dylan's mama, Patricia Jean is the main suspect, and as much as Carly Bell dislikes this woman, she does love her son and doesn't want to see him hurt. She sets out to find who the actually killer is, not only to help Haywood, but to save Patricia Jean from going to jail.

I have enjoyed reading this series and hope that the author will continue the series. There are so much laughable moments and one liners in this series that you can't help but laugh, or smile, or even roll your eyes. While reading you can't help but get a warm, feel good feelings all over. There's not a long list of character's for you to keep track of, the stories move along rather quickly, and keeps the reader engaged. I know I've said it before, but these books are just fun to read.
