About this listen

Middle age can be murder.... At least that's how it seems to former crime journalist Wilhelmina Chance, whose near-fatal accident has given her a strange side effect: She sees ghosts. After a messy divorce sends her fleeing back to her hometown of Mystic Notch, nestled in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, Willa finds herself haunted by the tenacious ghost of the town librarian, who insists Willa solve her murder. Luckily she has lots of help, including a quirky cast of small-town characters, the cat she's inherited from her grandmother, and her best friend, Pepper, who claims her herbal teas can work magic.

But just when Willa thinks she's discovered who the killer is, she finds out that things are not what they seem in Mystic Notch, and the case takes a strange turn that has Willa adding even some of her longtime friends to her suspect list. Can Willa find the real killer in time to keep the magical balance in Mystic Notch on the side of good, or will evil prevail?

If you don't read books often or like how they turn out just as you feared -er- imagined, then you'll probably enjoy this book. The clues were as blatant as the love line. The characters are all two dimensional, even the main character. Very disappointing since I heard such good reviews. Frustrated by the protagonist's obtuseness, I ended up skipping half the book and missed absolutely nothing. She was still clueless though clues were smacking her in the face and still had the same romantic maturity of an angsty teenager. "Oh, what a jerk! He's so dreamy when he accuses me of murder. I don't like him. I don't understand why my face is so red?" Seriously? At least make her own it. "Oh, God, I'm attracted to a jerk. This sucks." That I would buy, not the innocent maiden act from a grown woman. I will not be buying the next book but I will say the narrator is awesome. Pace, tone, accent, she was right on point so I listened to a lot more than I would've otherwise.

I like light hearted, not predictable.

I don't usually go for the ghostly or magical in my cat cozies but I figured I would give it a try. I didn't mind the paranormal and I enjoyed the cats and the mystery. I thought I knew who did it early on but was wrong. I liked the (very typical) hunky male law enforcement love interest. Mostly the only thing I didn't really like was the heroine. Not only did we not seem to get to know her very well, but she did get on my nerves several times. I prefer the heroine not gather a ton of people together to show off having solved a mystery (especially when she's wrong and makes a fool of herself) but my least favorite part is when the magical aspects start to come out and she behaves very stupidly - with a lot of "Huh?" and "I don't understand". I mean the woman talks to ghosts but she can't imagine something even slightly magical, being spelled out to her? A smarter heroine would have been more enjoyable. Still I would try the next to see where this goes.

Not my favorite heroine, but like cozies with cats

sort of wonder if it was the main character who has had a prior head injury, or the author. I like paranormal cozies with twists and a hint of romance as much as the next reader, but this one seemed like it was a personal contest to see how many unlikely aspects the author could cram in. Liked the cast of talking cats, enjoyed the three prominent ghosts, not too sure about the odd collection of conjurers, though. The writing was good, and the audio performer was excellent. Never hammy, and delineated the characters well, with just the right touch to portray emotions.

Fine as Audible

Ghostly Paws Was a Quick and easy listen. Well written so it pulled you in from the start and the narrator did a great job changing her voice from character to character. Nicely done!
