This is a beautiful ghost story, and I enjoyed it very much. Not that original, but well written and with great characters. I am really enjoying myself with this series. Hopefully the next book is as entertaining as this one. I will find out soon, because I am going to get a cup of tea (Earl Grey, Hot!), get in my comfy chair and start reading it.
From Amazon:

Strange supernatural events have been happening to medium Emerald O'Brien. So now it's up to her and her friends to delve into the past to reveal secrets of the dead, lay them to rest, and ring in the autumn with a harvest of bones.

My Thoughts:

A really good supernatural story. Although I prefer scarier fare, it's a well told tale and the characters were liable and believable. A few ghosts, a little romance...although the guy seemed a bit too perfect...and even several cats, both flesh and spirit. There are only five books in this series...this is number 4. I am going to make it a point to read the other four. Perfect for Halloween.
#4 in the Chintz n China cozy mystical mystery series featuring Emerald O’Brien, a tarot reader and tea shop owner. This is one of those series that I was dubious about when I started reading them but have enjoyed each successive book more and am glad I took a chance on the first one. When Joe buys the lot next to Emerald’s house and they begin clearing away decades’ worth of brambles and undergrowth, they discover the foundation of an old house. Emerald immediately gets some bad vibes coming from the place and when their cat Samantha disappears, she wonders just what they’ve unearthed. Research reveals that the house burned down fifty years before but no one died in the incident—so where is the malevolent spirit coming from? show more Em is once again embroiled in a battle of not only bad spirits, but some not-too-nice living and breathing humans too. Enjoyable! show less
