This book is novella-length, nice for a quick weekend read on a snowy, winter weekend. If you like cozies with a ghost, cozies that have a borderline magic pet companion, and a bookstore that is featured prominently, then you must read this series.
Mitzy is in her early twenties and has been an orphan for some time when we begin the book. Mitzy is a bit of a mess and this is a plus in my opinion, how many of us were a bit of a mess as we officially entered adulthood. The book is written as if we are sitting at the town diner and Mitzy is telling us the story of how she arrived in Pin Cherry Harbor and was accused of murder.
The book is rich in humor and the town of Pin Cherry Habor is delightful. The town is filled with anachronistic adventures for Mitzy. For example, the bank uses passbooks, and Mitzy's apartment has a rotary phone. There is no explanation of why this is the case in the town and that, in my opinion, makes it more fun for the reader.
I hope Trixie Silvertale had a lot of fun writing this book because that is how it came across in the reading.
3.75 Stars to this first book in the series.
