Kath and her friends are excited about visiting a sheep farm to learn about the fine art of dyeing. They learn more about the not-so-fine art of dying when the sheep are found clustered around two dead bodies. And one of those deceased persons is someone they know. Yes, now Kath feels compelled to find out what really happened. It’s a quick read, and has some entertaining aspects. I like the whiny ghost. Even though she is annoying at times, it’s hard not to be empathetic to her plight. Imagine wanting to read but not being able to physically turn pages or change cd’s in a player! Still, this series lacks something I can’t quite put my finger on. Maybe it’s character development, or maybe the mystery just isn’t that compelling. But I like it well enough to read the next in the series to see if the ghost becomes any happier with her lot in life . . . make that death!… (meer)

Kath’s grandmother has passed away, and Kath inherits her home and fabric shop. Only another person has claimed the grandmother sold her house to him. And to complicate matters, the grandmother is the prime suspect in a murder. Throw in a gloomy ghost who misses the murder victim and who has decided to hang around Kath, and you have an interesting if a bit convoluted mystery. Both the ghost and Kath want to solve the murder, but it won’t be easy - or safe - especially for Kath who doesn’t want to end up being a ghost, too. It’s a quick read and an entertaining tale.… (meer)
