chez_jaeBefore logging on this evening, I finished reading All Dressed Up and No Place to Haunt, which is the second book in Rose Pressey's "Haunted Vintage" mystery series.
Vintage clothing shop owner Cookie Chanel scores big when she provides period costumes to a movie being filmed in her small Georgia town of Sugar Creek. While visiting the set, Cookie overhears an argument between the lead actor and actress, and she later discovers the actress floating in a nearby pond. After that, Cookie is visited by the ghost of Alice, the woman who originally owned the dress the actress was wearing. Alice wants Cookie to give a message to her first love, and she also insists on helping Cookie solve the murder. Cookie wants no part of another murder investigation, but she can't help but get roped into it.
Assisted by her other ghostly friend, Charlotte, her flesh-and-blood friend Heather, and her psychic cat, Wind Song, Cookie is soon putting puzzle pieces together. However, her involvement has garnered attention, and Cookie finds herself in danger. Will hunky Detective Dylan Valentine be in time to save her? Dun dun DUN!
Favorite line: "This is making me a nervous wreck," Charlotte said. "I can't handle this kind of stress. If I wasn't already dead it would kill me."
Cute, fun story, and now there seems to be another handsome hunk vying for Cookie's attention, too. Ooh la la!
