Synopsis:
With no murders plaguing
Millerfield for over a year, Amateur sleuth Laura Howcroft is finally able to
enjoy her surroundings without distraction. Happy to settle into life with the
man she loves, and Monty too, of course. Laura is able to focus her attention
on being the best receptionist the Woodend Cottage Hotel has ever seen. Even
Janet has finally found the love of her life. What could possibly go wrong?
But when an uninvited guest turns Melrose Place - Janet's new home - upside down, Laura finds herself, not only back on the case, but trapped in the 1800’s... just in time for a murder. With a strange ghost scaring away all of the clientele and potential buyers from Melrose Place and a brutal murder playing out in front of her in a visit to the past, Laura, Howard, and Monty find themselves on opposite sides of time. But what could a centuries old murder have to do with a present day haunting?
Can Laura discover a connection between the Melrose Place Haunting and the ghost of a dead aristocrat?
Or is something far more sinister at work?

Review:
A witty, charming and silly cozy
mystery!
The DEAD Among Us is the fourth book
in a cozy mystery series. This book holds to all the witty, charming, and
silliness that we have come to expect from this series. Laura can “talk” to her
cat through telepathy, which helps to guide her through a mysterious past back
to the present. With the additional elements added to the story, it will keep
you engaged until the very end.
Carrie Marsh writes a fun mystery that will
keep you guessing and interested from the beginning to the end. I am not a fan
of time travel however this book really weaves it in to bring you history of
the past. It is weaved into the story in such a way that you gain a part of the
story without the feeling of a normal “time travel” piece. I thought the past
and the ghost added to the story without giving it the paranormal or time
travel feel. It really was a fun and light read that had you wondering who was
the ghost and what exactly was the ghost trying to hide.
The DEAD Among Us is part of a series but it can be read as a stand-a-lone and you do not feel that you are missing anything. I recommend Carrie Marsh books to anyone that wants to read a light and fun mystery that will keep you guessing all the way through.
