I sort of had this one figured out early on (at least parts of it), but good ol' familiar Jessica Fletcher is always a comfort!

This was a nice, filmic book. In particular, the amount of time she spent in the library was definitely reminiscent of the show.

The Ghost and Mrs. Fletcher is a 2015 NAL publication.

This story will be a perfect addition for your Halloween reading pleasure. I really enjoyed reading about all those old books Cliff collected and how Jessica helped them find new homes. And of course a good ghost story is always fun, too.

DNF.

I made it about 2-3 chapters in before having to give up. Here's the thing: first person POV didn't work when it's referencing a well-established, 3rd person show narrative. It misses the nuance and the relationship building in setting up the atmosphere. I'm sad, too. I wanted to love the book, but no. Not even worth it to dig inside Cabot Cove.

I love MSW- so I'm a little pained to rate this installment 3 stars. It was enjoyable but not as fast paced as they usually are. It was EXACTLY what I needed though- light (but smart).
