The Ghost and Mrs. Mewer by Krista DavisMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Second book in the Paws and Claws series. Holly Miller is back in Wagtail for good, helping her Oma run their bed and breakfast.
I enjoyed the first book in the series, but I loved this one. For one thing, there's a lot less Ben (though he's in there). I do see this book going down the typical love triangle path eventually with Ben and Holmes, but for now the men are just secondary characters with bit parts to play.
This book is set during Howloween in Wagtail, and is full of fun activities for pets, their people and everyone else too. A group of ghost hunters is in town to film a TV pilot, and one of their hangers-on is popping up and being a pain in the rear. Mallory is obsessed with the leader of the ghost hunters, Mark, claiming they're going to be married, when really he wants nothing to do with her. Mark just wants to get back together with his ex-fiance, Eva, a ghost debunker.
When Mallory ends up dead in what seems to be an accident there seem to be a lot of people who aren't upset about it, and both Holly and Officer Dave have a gut feeling that it wasn't an accident.
The plot is fun with a nice cast of characters. I'm looking forward to book 3. I have enjoyed these two books sooo much more than Ms. Davis' Domestic Diva series! So far there's no obnoxious anti-heroine in the middle of everything!
