Mrs. Morris and the Day of the Dead

Salem B&B #10

by Traci Wilton

When Salem B&B owner Charlene Morris investigates the case of a missing woman over a haunted Halloween weekend, she may find herself playing host to a whole new ghost in the newest paranormal cozy mystery from Traci Wilton!

Charlene and her spectral companion, Dr. Jack Strathmore, are moved by crystal healer Isabella Perez’s story about her missing sister, Marisol, a talented psychic of uncommon natural gifts. The spooky season is the ideal time to contact the departed for some answers; could someone from the other side reveal the truth about her disappearance . . . and the location of the priceless bejeweled statue she took with her?

Jack mistrusts Marisol’s fiancé, Rico Flores, but any number of suspects had reason to wish Marisol ill, including an embittered stalker obsessed with the talented bruja, a jealous rival witch, and a shady businessman more given to more dirty tricks than treats. Charlene’s beau, Detective Sam Holden, is on the case, but unmasking the culprit may require an assist from beyond the grave. Thank goodness it’s Halloween, when the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest . . .

Book 10/10: ~The Finale of the Salem B and B Book Series~

• Well, this was bittersweet. I’ve been reading this book series since 2020! Practically since it first began. Every year, I always looked forward to returning back to the Salem B and B to visit Charlene and dive into another cozy mystery. This series was all encompassing in so many ways, and I am so glad I got to experience it in its entirety. Every book was an instant preorder, and I am proud to own them all for my book collection!

: ̗̀➛WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THIS SERIES
🎃: Found Family
🎃: Halloween in Salem, Massachusetts
🎃: Cozy mysteries
🎃: Grief and loss
🎃: Holiday-themed novels
🎃: Friendship
🎃: Sleuthing ghost

• I would love it so much if someone picked this series up to adapt it into a TV series! ❤️❤️❤️ Come on Hallmark or Netflix!!

⚠️Spoilers Ahead ⚠️

■-------- Ending --------■
(☆☆☆/5)
It was exactly what I expected for the series; however, to be honest it was not what I hoped for at all! I was a huge Jack fan the entire series and yearned for him to somehow get a second chance at life. And boom! Just when the window of opportunity opened at the very end, it abruptly closed. I cannot possibly be the only fan of this series to want this conclusion!! I agree it was a sentimental ending and wrapped up nicely, but still….

• Charlene’s character development throughout the series was very admirable. She really is a survivor. I enjoyed following her on her healing journey. I love the place she was in toward the end even if things got bumpy along the way. I admit I was so nervous when she told Sam about Jack and they had their brief falling out. I haven’t really been the biggest Sam supporter throughout the series for obvious reasons—I cannot stand his lack of belief in the supernatural!

⚠️End of Spoilers ⚠️

Mystery
The mystery was definitely not the strongest in the series. It was not very twisty and was pretty easy to narrow down who the final suspect was. The characters Rico and Marisol were absolutely despicable, and I really was not a fan of their infatuations with one another and their beliefs. 🙄

Rating
For enjoyment purposes and my love of the series/characters I gave this 5☆, but it was more like 3.5☆ due to the mystery.

Deep breath….
I suppose it’s finally time to say my goodbyes. It is going to be bizarre not checking in on the B and B or the characters again in the next few months. 💔
︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

Goodbye, Charlene.
Goodbye, Jack. 😢
Goodbye, Avery.
Goodbye, Silva.
Goodbye, Minnie.
😄🙄Goodbye, Sam, too.

❤️👻

I highly recommend this cozy series and strongly suggest reading it in publication order! ✔️

I love this series. I’m glad that we got some answers in the end. I did not realize this was the last of the series. It was a bit lengthy. I don’t know that I love the mystery, but I love the characters. I don’t understand why series end so early anymore.?!

[Alyssa Maxwell · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've loved this series from the beginning, and I'm so glad the author tied up up all the loose threads with a neat, satisfying bow. The Halloween/Day of the Dead theme seemed a perfect way to say goodbye to these characters, both living and ghostly, who have become like friends to this reader. I'm sad there won't be more to look forward to, though.

[Cozy Reader Lady · Rating 4 out of 5]

"Mrs. Morris and the Day of the Dead (Salem B&B Mystery #10)" by Traci Wilton falls around Halloween but focuses more on Día de los Muertos. Charlene has a couple staying at her B&B that want to find out what happened to the woman's sister. Her sister went missing two years prior and seemingly took their golden Santa de Muerta statue with her. She doesn't think the sister is among the living and wants to try to reach her through a Día de los Muertos ofrenda.

This leads to Charlene trying to help track down the sister. The investigation mostly focuses on the cold case. There is a death at a Día de los Muertos parade but it gets linked back to the missing sister, I think. That part doesn't get much attention and seems to drop off when things start getting closer to the reveal. Maybe I need to re-read it to figure out if it's just that I missed something.

Charlene is exploring new dynamics at the B&B. Avery can now see and interact with Jack too. Also, Jack is finally coming to his senses about what he's been putting Charlene through. Yes, they're very good friends but his possessive attitude towards her with a clear attraction has been toxic. Being that he is a ghost it is extremely unfair of him to keep her from fully moving on to her next steps in life with Sam. He acknowledges that in this book and takes steps to respect her relationship with Sam.

To be fair, Charlene has been allowing this to happen. It's been a way for her to not move on with her life after her husband's death. She at least accepts finally that Jack is her best friend and Sam is her future. She even accepts what happens in the end as being a good thing for Jack.

This leads me to feel like this part of the Salem B&B series is done. It could move on in future books. They would be best as a spin off though. Especially with how much would change after this book. I'm kind of hoping for an Avery spin off.

I THINK THIS IS THE END OF THE SERIES...IF SO...WHAT A PERFECT ENDING!

SERIES PREMISE: In this series we follow Charlene Morris the owner of a B&B in Salem, Massachusetts. Charlene works along-side her employees Minnie and Avery. She also lives with a resident ghost names Jack.
In this book (potentially the final book of the series): Charlene is hosting B&B Guests at Halloween time. A perfect time for guests to be in Salem and soak up all it has to offer. However two of the guests Isabella Peres and Rico Flores are there to seek out someone who can help contact Isabella's presumed dead sister Marisol. But when Marisol doesn't come to them on Halloween night it begs the question...is there more actually going on here?

THOUGHTS: While I can't confirm 100% that this is the last book in the series the way it wrapped up leads me to believe this is the case. To that end I want to thank Traci Wilton for an incredible cozy mystery series! Every book in this series either received 4 or 5 stars from me and I have delighted in each and every moment.
I always loved the cozy side of this series and this book was no exception. I don't have any mexican or spanish/latin friends so while I find De los muertos to be a fascinating topic, I really enjoyed learning more about it through this story.
While I wont spoil how the series wraps up I'll just say that Wilton did an amazing job wrapping up all the loose ends. The last hour of the audiobook nearly had me in tears.

It really is a double edged sword for me - perfect ending if this is the end - but seriously I want more! Hahaha.


5 Stars!
xoxo.

"Mrs. Morris and the Day of the Dead" the 11th instalment in the Salem B&B Mystery series by Traci Wilton. This is my favourite one so far, it had so much feels and I just loved it!

When Salem B&B owner Charlene Morris investigates the case of a missing woman over a haunted Halloween weekend, she may find herself playing host to a whole new ghost …

I love visiting Salem and Charlene’s B&B with its resident ghost Jack and her B&B family. I love all the characters Charlene, Jack, Minnie, Sam and Avery. This time around it’s Halloween weekend and she has a crystal healer Isabella Perez wanting help finding her missing sister.

The mystery was interesting, well plotted, with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing till the very end. I don’t want to give away any spoilers but I definitely was surprised by the ending and sad that this is the last in the series. I definitely had tears in my eyes.

I highly recommend this book to all my cozy lover friends.

I requested and received an advance reader copy of this book from Kensington Books and Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

[Christine Poitras · Rating 5 out of 5]

Having read the first 9 titles in this series, Day of the Dead is the most dramatic and satisfying novel of them all.
It is impossible to gush about its ending(s) without revealing spoilers, so I will refrain from doing so; other than to reveal the familiar cast of characters that have become so familiar to us readers are all included - along with a handful of new ones who are vacationing at Charlene's B&B.
After reading the last sentence, then closing the back cover of the book, I was left to ponder if we will be treated to additional Mrs. Morris books. Should we not, however, this latest entry will leave you contented/appeased if that possibility become a reality.

[Jackie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I didn’t know this was the last book of the series. I hate what happened to our friendly ghost. And how did she end up marrying the asshole detective who doubted her every other freaking chapter? He was so unsupportive and such a bad character compared to the other men in the books. Ughhhh!

[Maria Schild · Rating 5 out of 5]

Truly an incredible book and an amazing way to end the series. I could not have thought of a better way of closure. This series will always linger with me as one of the best series I’ve read in my lifetime. The mix of coziness, suspense, humor, mystery, light romance and charm makes this book perfect for all ages and interests. Truly a fantastic series.

[Cozybooklady · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mrs. Morris and the Day of the Dead is by far the best book in this series.
Charlene is once again involved in an investigation when she's asked to assist in finding a missing woman.
The story is very well written, the characters were portrayed in a fun, loving manner, and I enjoyed reading every page.

I hope other readers enjoy this story as much as I did.

[JoAnne McMaster (Any Good Book) · Rating 5 out of 5]

After the death of her husband, Charlene Morris moved to Salem, Massachusetts and opened a B&B. What she didn't know, however, was that the Victorian house she purchased came with its own permanent guest -- the ghost of the previous owner, Dr. Jack Strathmore. Now Jack and Charlene have a close relationship with each other; after all, he gave up heaven to stay with her. But in the ens,uing years, Charlene has fallen in love with an all-too-human man, Detective Sam Holden, who doesn't believe in ghosts. Charlene has tried to tell him several times, but he refuses to believe. Now Charlene's "adoptive" daughter Avery can see Jack, thanks to a recent bump on the head, but it's only the two of them and their cat, Silva.

It's close to Halloween, and Charlene has a houseful of guests occupying every room. Most of them are there to enjoy what Salem has to offer on this particular holiday (after all, where is a better place to be than Salem?); except two of them - Isabella Perez and her boyfriend, Rico Flores, are there to find out the truth about her elder sister Marisol's disappearance two years ago. Isabella hopes that with the veil between the living and the dead being thinnest around Halloween, that she can contact Marisol for her own personal reasons.

It's not until a young woman is murdered during the graveyard tour, right in front of Charlene's guests, that Charlene thinks something very real and very sinister, is going on. Now she knows that even though she has a lot to keep her occupied, she must try and tell Sam one more time about Jack, and hope that she can keep Jack from accidentally slipping away somewhere he isn't meant to be...

I have to say that I had a difficult time reading this because I knew it was the last in the series. That and the fact that I was always team Jack. Sam seemed hart to me, and Jack was much more easygoing. I was always hoping that a second chance meant a second chance at life, but ah, well. Needless to say, I was torn by the ending. Don't get me wrong; it ended nicely. I don't think I am giving anything away here since I have skimmed other reviews who have already stated it.

But the story was handled well, and it was as interesting as all the others. There is plenty of action, and the characters are believable. Some are likeable; some not so much. But even the subplots concerning the guests are worth reading about.

The mystery isn't easily solved. There is a lot going on here, both with Charlene, her household, and people she knows. You want the best for Isabella while hoping it all will work out for everyone else. And the climax is all that we could wish for (well, some of us, anyway). The ending is bittersweet, but the author does a remarkable job of bringing it all together for one final book. Kudos to Ms. Wilton. Highly recommended.

I was given a copy of this book from the publisher and NetGalley but this in no way influenced my review.

Book Review: Mrs. Morris and the Day of the Dead (A Salem B&B Mystery Book 10) by Traci Wilton

Rating: 4 Stars

I picked up Mrs. Morris and the Day of the Dead with zero expectations beyond a cozy, Halloween-tinged read—and I came away thoroughly charmed. Traci Wilton delivers another gentle, paranormal cozy that balances atmosphere, likable characters, and a properly twisty mystery. I’m giving it four stars because it’s a lot of fun, even if a few beats feel comfortably familiar to longtime cozy readers.

At the heart of the story is Charlene Morris, the warm and inquisitive owner of a Salem B&B, who once again finds herself neck-deep in a case that mixes the supernatural with small-town intrigue. This time Charlene and her ever-helpful ghostly sidekick, Dr. Jack Strathmore, get pulled into the disappearance of Marisol, a gifted psychic whose sister Isabella turns to them for help. The timing is perfect—Halloween and Day of the Dead festivities mean the veil between worlds feels paper-thin, making it the ideal moment to ask the dead for answers about Marisol’s whereabouts and a missing, jewel-encrusted statue.

Wilton lines up a neat roster of suspects. There’s Rico, Marisol’s fiancé, who raises Jack’s suspicions; an obsessive ex-stalker; a rival with obvious motives; and a sleazy businessman who traffics in threats more than treats. Detective Sam Holden, Charlene’s boyfriend, is on the official trail, but some leads only open when you have a ghost helping ask the right questions. I liked that the investigation felt well plotted—the clues were doled out fairly and the culprit didn’t feel shoehorned in at the end.

A few personal notes: the cover drew me in immediately—bright, festive, and perfectly on-theme—and I only realized as I finished that this book wraps up the series. I have to say I’m glad for closure; Wilton ties up several character threads in a satisfying way without making the ending feel rushed. The ensemble of characters is one of the book’s best assets: they’re warm, distinct, and easy to care about. And the Salem setting, with its seasonal celebrations and ghost-friendly atmosphere, is rendered with just the right amount of spooky charm.

Why four stars and not five? Mostly because some moments hit familiar cozy beats a little predictably. That said, the familiar structure is also part of this subgenre’s comfort, and Wilton still manages to keep the story engaging and the stakes personal enough to matter.

If you enjoy paranormal cozies with a strong sense of place, a hospitable protagonist, and a mystery that rewards you for paying attention, Mrs. Morris and the Day of the Dead is a satisfying read. I loved revisiting these characters one last time, and I appreciated that the author tied up the series in a way that felt both tidy and heartfelt.

B&B owner Charlene Morris is hosting a group of tourists throughout Salem’s various Halloween festivities. One of those guests, Isabella Perez, is hoping to contact her sister who has been missing for the past two years. Marisol Perez was a very popular psychic in Salem until she disappeared. Isabella not only wants to find out if her sister is alive or dead…she also wants to get permission to marry Marisol’s former boyfriend. While Charlene’s boyfriend, Detective Sam Holden, focuses on his investigation into Marisol’s disappearance, she focuses on helping Isabella with a paranormal inquiry. For various reasons, Charlene and the ghost who haunts her B&B¬¬— Dr. Jack Strathmore—suspect Marisol’s former boyfriend/Isabella’s current boyfriend, Rico Flores. But Rico is not the only person with motive, and that person has now turned their attention to Charlene.

MRS. MORRIS AND THE DAY OF THE DEAD is the first Salem B&B mystery that I’ve read, and it figures that it is the final one in the series. Because I did not read the other nine books, I felt like I was missing some crucial information. I was still able to enjoy the story. I especially liked the scenes involving the different Halloween and Day of the Dead activities around Salem. I also learned a lot about Santa Muerte. Aside from the writing coming off as chaotic at times—info and dialog in places that seemed random and did not fit—MRS. MORRIS AND THE DAY OF THE DEAD was an interesting cozy.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

[Susan Johnston · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am so disappointed. Not in the book. Not at all. But without giving away too much, I suspect this is the end of the series and I love the series. I have loved every single new adventure. I love Charlene and Jack and the Ghost and Mr.s Muir vibe. The other characters like Avery and Minnie, Silva and Sam have all grown and evolved and become like family. Every time I saw a new instalment, I was thrilled to return to the B&B and Salem with all its wonderful paranormal happenings. And this one does not let down the team.

It is approaching Halloween and there is a full house of varied and fascinating people. Two of them, Bella and Rico, have a specific mission in mind. Bella wants to contact her beloved sister who disappeared two years ago. She knows the three days around Halloween and the Day of the Dead is the best time to make contact. But someone does not want it to succeed. Everyone is a suspect as Isabella learns that Marisol, her sister, may not have been the paragon of virtue she thought she was. But when Marisol tells them who killed her and why, things get very dangerous. It is a highly suspenseful interaction with some surprising actions fuelled by love. Then comes the parts of the book that make me think it is an excellent way to wrap things up. Thanks for the memories. Five purrs and two paws up.

Mrs. Morris and the Day of the Dead by Traci Wilton is the final book in A Salem B & B Mysteries. I would recommend reading this series in order as it will allow you to get to know the characters and their backstories. It was great to catch up with Charlene, Jack, Minnie, Avery, Kass, Silva, and the other characters in the series. I might as well be up front and admit that I prefer Jack to Detective Sam Holden (I have held out hope that there would be a way for Jack to become human again—a girl can dream). It was wonderful to celebrate Halloween in Salem as well as the Day of the Dead. One of the guests is hoping to connect with her sister who has been missing for several years. I enjoyed the spooky atmosphere. I also liked learning about the Day of the Dead. Charlene decides, finally, that it is time to tell Sam about Jack. Charlene knows it is not going to be easy to convince Sam that Jack is real (Avery agrees). I strongly suggest that you have a box of tissues nearby when you read the closing. I enjoyed the ending, but I was sorry to reach the conclusion (it means no more stories). Mrs. Morris and the Day of the Dead is a spirited tale with greeting guests, Halloween hijinks, tasty treats, a séance to summon, spilling a secret, a sister mystery as well as heartache and hope.

[Stacey · Rating 5 out of 5]

I started reading the 'Mrs. Morris" books when I had won a paperback copy of the first book in the series. I was hooked with the story of Jack and his demise along with Charlene's story of her grief and healing with her move from Chicago. I waited patiently for each new book to be released and enjoyed each and every story. Each one has a fun to solve mystery, interesting B&B guests and a not quite love triangle. This book is no different.

Isabella, a guest at the inn, is hoping to contact her missing sister's spirit . Charlene throws a Day of the Dead celebration and hopes that Isabella will be connected with her sister, Marisol. It's in this book that she also decided that it's time to tell Sam about Jack. He doesn't take the news well and walks away. How will this end for Jack, Sam and Charlene?

There is no cliffhanger in this book as it is the final book in the series. I am so sad about that. I will miss Charlene, Jack, Sam, Silva, Minnie, Avery, Kass, Charlene's parents and the rest of the Salem friends and residents. Thank you so much to Traci Hall and Patrice Wilson for writing such a wonderful series. It will remain one of my favorites.

What a stellar way to end this series! Charlene, Jack, Sam, Avery; happy endings for one and all. I was so sad to read the last page of this book, only because I knew it was the end of the line for these wonderful characters.
Charlene, Minnie, Avery and of course Jack welcome the newest batch of guests to the B&B for all of Salem's Halloween festivities. Isabella is seeking to find a connection with her sister who went missing several years earlier and everyone knows the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest around that time of year. All of the rest of the guests are excited to participate in all that Salem and the B&B have to offer.
Is it finally time for Charlene to tell Sam about Jack? Will he believe her? These are some important issues they must address to move their relationship along. How does this all come to a head and how does it end? You just have to read the book to find out! You will not be disappointed!
Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington for the opportunity to read an early copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

[Tari · Rating 5 out of 5]

It’s always sad to say goodbye to a favorite series, especially one I’ve read since the very first book. But I thought it was really fitting that the first book and this last one should take place on Halloween, the heart and soul season of Salem. It showed a lot how the characters grew and developed and was basically an emotional rollercoaster for this reader. There were still plenty of funny Jack and Avery moments now that she could see and talk to the ghost. It was hilarious how he could still get her to almost answer him in front of people.

Without giving away any spoilers, just trust me that if you’ve followed this series, you’ll want to read this, although I give this a strong tissue alert. I absolutely loved it. If you’re just starting with this book, I actually recommend not doing that and reading this series from the beginning. You’ll be very glad you did!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book provided by Kensington Cozies via NetGalley, and my opinions are my own.

This is the tenth and final book in the Salem B&B series and wow, what a way to wrap things up! Without giving anything away, I can say this...if you’ve read the previous nine books and fallen in love with Charlene, Jack, and the rest of the Salem crew, you’re going to absolutely love this one.

We’re back in Salem for Halloween, and Charlene’s got a full house. Most of her guests are eager to dive into all the spooky festivities the town has to offer, but Isabella and Rico have a different goal - to build an ofrenda in hopes of calling back Isabella’s long-lost sister, Marisol, and finally getting answers about her disappearance. What follows is a story full of twists and turns that will keep you hooked and torn between racing to the end for answers and wanting to savor every moment.

Traci did a beautiful job bringing this series to a close. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll wish you could be there in Salem yourself. I can’t wait to see what she writes next.

[Rachella · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book has it all: relatable characters that feel like friends, a great sense of October, Halloween and the Day of the Dead. The world of this really comes alive and keeps the reader hooked. The message of love is also incredibly strong, which I enjoyed. Day of the Dead draws on previous books 's plotlines, but is also okay to read as a standalone.
I believe that Day of the Dead is the final book in the Mrs Morris series, which makes me incredibly sad. There's some not to be missed parts for those who have enjoyed the series. Though nothing towards the end truly surprised me, it did make me incredibly emotional.
Overall, a beautifully written book and a great experience.I will definitely return to this book for a reread in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press and Traci Wilton for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

I’ve read all the Mrs. Morris Salem B&B mysteries. Each one has interesting elements, from ghosts to witches to leprechauns. Mrs. Morris and the Day of the Dead introduces a death goddess in addition to the celebration of those who have left this side of the veil.
This might be the twistiest tale of the series. The fate of Isabella’s sister is a mystery. In the end it brings to light an even bigger mystery and many lies that have been hidden.
There has been tension throughout the story between Mrs. Morris’ ghost and a still living love interest. This is the last book of the series, and the author does wrap up the storyline. There is some real heartache to get there though.
I enjoyed reading the book even with the extended drama between Isabella and Rico.

Charlene’s guests at the B&B include a young couple, Isabella and Rico, who follow Santa Muerte. Isabella’s sister disappeared two years ago and she hopes, with the help of local witches, to bring her sister’s spirit through during Halloween and the Day of the Dead, when the veil between worlds thins. Meanwhile, Sam doesn’t believe in ghosts or things he can’t see and walks away from Charlene when she tells him of Jack’s ghost. Things get tense towards the end when it’s clear Isabella is in danger.
It’s sad to hear this is the final book in this series, but everything comes to a satisfying ending and this book was a very enjoyable cozy mystery.

Mrs. Morris and the Day of the Dead is book #10 in the Salem B&B Mystery series by Traci Wilton.

It is Halloween weekend in Salem. Charlene is asked to help investigate a missing woman who is the sister of a guest at the B&B. With the veil between the dead and living at its thinnest, they want to see of Marisol is dead and find out what happened to her. This was such a good book! This is one of my favorite series and everything was wrapped up beautifully.

This was not my favorite of the series. I realize that it is the last one so a lot of loose ends have to be tied up but I found the mystery dull and the new visitors to the B&B annoying. I liked how everything was resolved for Sam, Jack, and Charlene but there were way too many weepy, saccharine-sweet reflections from Charlene for my taste. I loved this series in the beginning but the whole Jack thing got a little strange as the series wore on, which ruined it for me. Still, there were some enjoyable mysteries and I did learn more about different legends and witchcraft.

Nothing is better than a book series that is wrapped up with a perfect ending.
This, the tenth cozy mystery novel by Traci Wilton, has delivered a winner that can not be beaten.
Yes, I went into this final Mrs. Morris book with trepidation. Could it really be over? Would it live up to my expectations?
Since it definitely did, I will only say that I wish all series authors would take a note from Traci Hall and Patrice Wilton, the writing duo who created the Salem B&B Mystery stories. Leave a wonderful series with the dignity it deserves and go forward with new books for fans to savor.

I really enjoyed this entire series. Charlene did lots of growing in this series. At times I thought that she would choose Jack over Sam. I am glad that in the end she chose Sam and that Jack was the one that helped him live. This book was so well thought out, especially the ending. I am glad that Jack had someone to go to heaven with him, and then came back for Charlenes and Sams wedding. I hate that the series is ending, but understand that you have to move on to other things. I will miss this cast of characters though.

Mrs. Morris and the Day of the Dead is the 10th book in the wonderful Salem B&B series by Traci Wilton. Charlene has her hands full with this year's Halloween guests, plus she will be helping out with a celebration for the Day of the Dead to aid her guest in contacting her sister. Someone does not want that to happen!
Great characters, a face-paced storyline, and a solid mystery are standard for this series and you love this series wrap-up! The perfect happily ever after.

This series has been an absolute pleasure to read. The 10th and final book in this series delivers on all fronts. I mean, how can you go wrong with Halloween in Salem? But it’s the mystery that really has done it for me and each and every entry in the series. It’s hard to say goodbye to a great cozy mystery series, but the author showed up and gave us one big final hug as she sends us off with one of the best entries to date.

This was a well written and thought-out story. Charlene, her ghost Jack, Avery, and Sam, Charlene's boyfriend are a great mix of personalities. It was great how Jack was able to use the computer to help research things. Avery is a blessing to Charlene and fills a void. Sam is stoic and in love with Charlene and takes her seriously unless it comes to Jack. This story shows the essence of Salem. You can tell that te author did her research.
