It’s spring break and Kelly Whitecastle pays a vist to her family and friends. One of her friends, Chris, is on his way to becoming a successful ventriloquist. His two newest puppets, Doug and Shirley, seem to have a special glow to them when Kelly looks at them. It’s not long before she realizes they are more than simple puppets.The ghosts of Chris’ grandparents have taken over the puppets and ask for Kelly’s help. Their grandson is in danger and it’s up to Kelly to save him. Kelly seeks the assistance of her mother, Emma, and Granny Apples in figuring out what is going on and save Chris and his partner Edgar.This is the first book I read in the “A Ghost of Granny Apples Mystery” series, but it definitely won’t be my last. Dummy of A Ghost is a novella and gave me a nice introduction to the series. Although it follows book #4 and is a short story, I was still able to follow along and grew to love the characters. It’s not always easy to combine a cozy mystery with paranormal aspects, but this author does it with style and it makes for a quick, enjoyable read.FTC Disclosure: The publisher provided me with a copy of this book to review for this blog tour.
