Chloe has a resistance against training with fire arms. Chief agrees she would be a good consultant detective, giving her a month suspension.
Alex is all for the two of them working together. Even had an old missing case for her. Client telling her, from the bed came a shadow out from the closet appeared, dressed as for a play, about my age. They talked for hours, and then he returned to his closet. Telling Daddy, he didn’t think it was funny, finding nothing inside. Years passed and loved grew. Now she wants to release the ghost / boy from the house before she dies. Wanting her to go thru records and find out who the young man was. Wanting Alex to take it seriously for very important to her. Unusual case and plot, but very well done. Will Alex find the answers, makes for an interesting mystery.

This is the 9th in the Chloe series. In this short story, Chloe ends up leaving the force for a while. She decides to work with her hubby and ends up taking a crazy case. She goes to see Catherine Cartwright who is dying but has a ghost in her house that she wants to set free before she dies. Chloe solves the case and even ends up with her Althea as her birthing partner. I love these books.

Chloe Boston book 9
Chloe quits or gets suspended, or maybe asks the Chief to get her pregnant?! Then she works a case on her own or with Alex? And maybe becomes a birthing coach? Oh, and there might be a ghost. Great fun!

Haunted is the 9th book, and my favorite, of the Chloe Boston mystery series. The story takes place a year after the events in The Pumpkin Thief, and Chloe is now happily married to Alex and still working as the town meter maid. But Chloe is struggling. She is happy but she fells like something is missing. Should she do a different job? Should she and Alex start a family? Chloe needs answers and the chief gives her a month of medical leave to find her bearings and make a decision.
She utilizes her time off by working as a private investigator for Alex and her first assignment is more surprising than she ever expected. No violence or gruesome murder like in The Pumpkin Thief. Haunted is a proper ghost story that pushes Chloe to reexamine what makes her happy with her life. Chloe must solve a long forgotten crime to put a ghostly soul to rest. Throw in her arch-nemeses, Lardhead Gordon and Cousin Althea, having a baby; working with her snooty mother-in-law on a baby shower, and a soured relationship between two of her closest friends and you have a hectic Chloe!
Haunted is my favorite because I can connect with Chloe on all levels: happy with my job but not sure its where I'm supposed to be, happily married but wondering if I really want children, and surrounded by family who are way too pushy at times but always mean well. It may not be the review you expected, but I consider Haunted a good read, especially for those dealing with similar points.
No, it does not contain a gory murder or ghosts that will give you nightmares, but it does have a good haunted mystery to solve and a cast of interesting, and loving, characters. It is well worth the afternoon read. Has anyone else have books speak to them?

Chloe finds herself suspended from her job as the town meter reader and unofficial detective of the police department. She takes on a job for her husband's agency and finds herself trying to solve a family mystery decades old. Plot is solid, the characters quirky, this is a very enjoyable cozy series.

Chloe Boston is considering making some changes in her life. Should she quit the police force? Go into business with her new husband? Have children? All of the above?
But first she has to help her cousin Althea with Lamaze classes, host a baby shower, and find a missing person ... who may be more "missing" than Chloe anticipates ...

Great
I enjoyed reading this book especially because Chloe was having a crisis in her life. Should she have a baby or be a career woman?
