Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Paramour Bay (9)
Get ready for a spine-tingling cozy mystery that has ghosts, ghouls, and goblins coming out of the woodwork in the next spirited installment of the Paramour Bay Mysteries by USA Today Bestselling Author Kennedy Layne . . . Mounds of delicious candy corn, jack-o-lanterns, and spooky hayrides are all part of this year's Halloween festivities in Paramour Bay. Raven Marigold plans to make the most out of this All Hallows' Eve, which just so happens to be her birthday. Not everyone in town seems to have gotten the festive memo, though. One of the residents is claiming that the spirit of her dead husband has been paying her nocturnal visits, while other townsfolk are making similar claims about their deceased relatives. Is this someone's version of a supernatural flash mob or has someone accidentally pierced the veil to the afterlife? It's going to be a hauntingly good time in this quaint coastal town, so bring along your lanterns and flashlights as Raven and the gang take a midnight stroll through the local cemetery to try and solve this hair-raising mystery!

My favourite part about this book was the premise behind the mystery. It's a non-murder, non-violent mystery where protagonist and witch Raven investigates the mysterious appearances of ghosts around the town of Paramour Bay. In a genre where there are a lot of commonly used tropes, I really appreciate seeing authors taking different approaches.
However, the risk with a non-violent mystery is that it can be difficult to build up suspense and a sense that the mystery itself is high-stakes. I think this is where the book most faltered for me. The mystery is more so presented as an interesting problem that needs to be addressed, not a mystery with real and serious consequences. It was difficult to me to see why the mystery mattered and why I should care about it being solved.
This may also be because this book is best enjoyed with knowledge of previous instalments, as it heavily refers to larger overarching storylines. While I have already read one book in the series, I'm the type of reader who enjoys jumping around. I don't think that this series is great for readers with this kind of habit.
That being said though, I enjoy the magic system that this series features and I think Raven is a fun character to read about!
