A great cozy mystery series set in a small town with the main characters being Kay, a widow who has let some rooms in her house to a Judge and his 2 children whilst he's going through a divorce.
As well as working for a bail agent, Kay has a knack for finding dead bodies and seeing their ghosts, who implore her to bring their murderer to justice.
There are many other characters in the books abs this book sees Olive, Kay's friend and psychic involved as a family feud literally unearths a mystery, when her Cousins body is exhumed, to be moved to another plot, and in the process of doing this, a second body is found!
Of course, Kay investigates to find the killer of the second body, and who knows, they could have had something to do with the first death too.
Really good cozy mysteries which I cannot seem to put down. Each one a standalone story but to appreciate the whole bigger picture, the books are best read in order of publication to preserve continuity of the characters.

A Grave Situation (Locust Point Mystery Book 7)— Libby Howard/Narrator: Margaret Storm (22 chapters) April 13-14, 2022
On this story, while Kay becomes a little closer with the Judge over Halloween, a murder from the past is revealed when Kay assists a friend who needs to unbury her son and rebury him elsewhere.
The ghost of the dead comes to help, but only until the very end is helpful.
As J.T. and Daisy are off on a vacation, it is up to Kay to solve the mystery, with help from Olive. The Judge stays pretty clear out of this one.
The good, quick read that I thoroughly enjoyed. So glad this cozy hasn’t jumped the shark yet.
Five stars.

another good mystery
I am enjoying this series. You do learn interesting details about things you aren’t likely to be aware of. Who knew that coffins had a cement case or grave lining to keep the ground level after internment? You always know the killer has been someone in the story but the tale is told in such a way where it’s not always obvious.

I love these books, the characters and storylines are interesting. Definitely worth reading and following the series. Being of a certain age I can relate to Kay.

I enjoyed reading this book to the point where I didn't want to put it down (knowing I had more important things to take care of). It was well written, kept my interest, and I plan to read more of the Locust Point Mystery series.

I have enjoyed getting to know the reoccurring characters in this series. The mysteries are interesting and it is fun trying to figure them out.

I did not enjoy this book. My ratings on each book kept getting worse and worse throughout the series. After this book, I am done with this series.
