Mrs. Morris and the Pot of Gold By Traci Wilton

Hello my cozy friends,

Today I am reviewing "Mrs. Morris and the Pot of Gold" the 6th instalment in the Salem B&B Mystery series by Traci Wilton.  This is my favourite one so far, I just loved it!
Salem, Massachusetts, B&B owner Charlene Morris will need the luck of the Irish—and the help of a ghost—to unveil a hooded killer . . .

Charlene has hired a van to ferry her B&B guests to an all-you-can-eat corned beef and cabbage dinner hosted by Salem’s Irish community at the Ancient Order of Hibernians club—but she should have booked a hearse. It’s never a good sign when the family black sheep drunkenly crashes a party by punching the guy dressed as a leprechaun. But things go from troublesome to fatal when Charlene stumbles upon a second brawl in an upper room—and this fight Connor Gallagher loses, his anonymous assailant rushing past Charlene, hidden by a hoodie.

Now Detective Sam Holden has another homicide on his hands, with Charlene as the only eyewitness. Even if she can’t give the police sketch artist much to go on, Charlene is determined to ID the murderer, with the help of Dr. Jack Strathmore, the charming ghost who haunts her B&B. The answer lies in the motive, and to uncover that sleuth and spook will need to shine a light on Connor’s shady past—before the killer pulls another Irish goodbye . . .
What can I say, so much intrigue this go around and all centered around St. Patrick’s Day.  I love visiting Salem and Charlene’s B&B with its resident ghost Jack and her B&B family. The characters are becoming like family and I’m super happy that what I dreamed would happen with Charlene and Avery is coming to fruition.  I love all the characters Charlene, Jack, Minnie, Sam and Avery and now I find myself adding her mum and dad to the mix.

The mystery was interesting, well plotted, with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing till the very end.  There was sub mysteries to figure out as well, especially surrounding her guest Shaffer.  I’m hoping he pops up again in future stories.  I definitely was surprised by the ending and can’t wait for book 7 to see what happens next!!!

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