4 STARSSketcher in the Rye is full of interesting characters. Rory McCain is the main character. She is now a detective out on her own. Al least for most of the people that's true. She has a former Marshall that helps her but he is dead.Rory used to be a detective and police sketch artist. She inherited her late Uncle's house complete with a ghost.Marshal Zeke Drummond was a marshal in the late 1800's in the wild west. Before Rory owned the house he was stuck just being a ghost their. Now he can leave but has to stay within a 100 yards of her. He helps Rory solve her cases. He can get a lot of information by going through walls or being invisible. He has old fashion ideas about courting.Rory has a fun family, former police friends. Even starting to date someone new.Rory has a new case to find out who is leaking information and trying to hurt Harper Farms. On her way back from first meeting her dog drags her into the corn maze and she finds a dead body.The plot was good, has some good humor, The pacing was good. It kept you guessing to what and who was doing what till the end.I liked how the story was more than solving the mystery. We learn about Rory's family and life. We also learn a little about Zeke's past. I like Rory's wacky neighbor. It made for a good story that I wanted to come back to see what the characters are going to do next.Sketcher in the Rye is also a clean read except for pigpen!I have not read any of the previous stories in this series and don't feel that I have not missed anything in this story. I would enjoy going back and reading them sometime.I was given this ebook to read for purpose of giving a honest review and being part of its blog tour by Netgalley & PENGUIN GROUP Berkley, NAL / Signet Romance, DAW
