About the author
Clare Lockhart
42 books59 followersClare Lockhart writes light-hearted, paranormal, cozy mysteries featuring middle-aged sleuths who are going through a few changes. Some are welcome (freedom to live the dream) and some not so much (supernatural abilities and a rash of murders).
If you like reading about best friends who find themselves in the odd pickle, twisty murder plots, and cheeky, paranormal visitors, then you’re in the right place.
Clare lives in a small town, a stone’s throw from Lake Ontario, in Canada, and has recently taken up sailing with her partner John. Sailing has to be one of her most challenging and rewarding life experiences. She loves to read, of course, travel and is a bit of a foodie.
Clare comes by her interest in the paranormal honestly. Her dad loved this stuff, so it was natural for her to believe there was more to our world than we perceive. Therefore, you may find a ghost, a psychic witch, and even a parallel universe in her stories.
She also writes time travel romance under the pen name Sharon Clare.

Love this series. This book is a little different in that there is more romance, but it's part of the character arcs. And there's a reality TV show. And this time, the ghost isn't asking Quinn to solve her murder. She tells Quinn who murdered her, and asks her to get them arrested. Also Toni's husband who died years ago finally shows up as a ghost, creating issues all over the place. Again, a fun and fast read with great characters.

Midlife is Murder
This was book 6 in the series and a few lose ends were tied up with the characters lives. Wonderful story that kept me entertained. Something that stood out to me in this series was the author slipping in useful information. She did it in a way that worked well with each story. I am definitely going to reread these books and take notes.

Great Series
I enjoyed all six books and the cast of characters, their adventures and how they solved the crimes. I recommend this series as a great one to binge and perfect for summer reading.

Apparently end of series
Satisfying end to the series. A woman's death looks accidental but the spirit world knows better, and the ghosts call on Quinn to figure it out.
