Giving Up Th Ghost by Marilyn Levison was one of the best cozy ghost mysteries I've read.  This genre has always been one of my favorites to read and I've read quite a few of them.  And this one is right at the top of my favorites list.  There were a few mysteries contained within this book, who killed Cam, who killed the bully, who stole the money.  These were all woven together very nicely and carried on throughout the entire story.  I didn't figure the mystery out until it was revealed at the end, but then neither did the protagonist nor the sheriff, so I don't feel too bad.  There were twists and turns along the way to make it very difficult to determine who the murderer was from a long list of suspects.  The characters were well developed and true to life and it was easy to care about them, especially Cam, the ghost.  He definitely had positive and negative traits, just like we all do.  The writing style flowed smoothly and this book was an easy quick read.  I always laugh when I read reviews that say "I read this book in one sitting" or " I couldn't put this book down" but for once these sayings described my feelings and they were really true.  I would recommend this book to any one who loves a good mystery, and if you love ghost cozies that is an extra reason to read this book.  I sure hope Giving Up The Ghost is the start of a new series, one that will last for a long time.
