Tomb With a View

In Casey Daniels's Tomb With a View, the 6th installment in the Pepper Martin paranormal cozy series, this newest mystery had a hint of historical flair to add the drama. For Pepper Martin, she's about to host a commemoration on President James A. Garfield for the Garden View Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio. But there seem to be a snag and a big problem. Her name was Marjorie Klinker, the newest volunteer member who claims she's related to Garfield as a know-it-all. She's giving everyone at the cemetery a hard time including Pepper. And when she's about to show off her surprise to Pepper, she wound up dead. Someone must've pushed her over the edge. Now it was up to Pepper to solve the mystery with a hand from President Garfield's ghost who seems to haunt the tomb and haven't crossed over yet. As Pepper deals with a love triangle between Scott from the FBI and Quinn from the Cleveland PD, she has more than enough to deal with like a con man named "Jack" and a stalker. While Pepper tries to solve the puzzle by figuring out whodunit and why, she becomes the next victim on the killer's list if he doesn't get what he wants fast.

This was another interesting installment in this paranormal cozy series. It had been a long time since I read one of the books from the series. Once again, I loved how Pepper gets entangled into a chilling murder mystery and have two handsome men fight for her love and affection. I do think her red hair and freckles are attractive and highlights her best features. I wish Quinn could cut her some slack and give her some credit when it's due. I do think he has feelings for her. I did love how there was a bit of a creative nonfiction historical bit to add to the twist. I do love the Cleveland area to set the scene and make those locations visually eye-popping on every page. This would keep you in suspense with non-stop action, a hint of intrigue, a splash of mystery, and plenty of drama to make you want more.

Will you be stopping by to check out the Tomb with a View tonight?
