Loving Spirits at the Vintage Teashop (Ghosts of Rowan Vale, #2) by Sharon Booth

Hello my bookish friends,

Today I am reviewing "Loving Spirits at the Vintage Teashop” the 2nd instalment in Ghosts of Rowan Vale series by Sharon Booth set in the beautiful Cotswold village of Rowan Vale.
The beautiful Cotswold village of Rowan Vale is run as a living museum, allowing tourists to see history in action. But there’s more to the place than any visitor would guess... ✨

Fifty-something Shona grew up in the village and now runs its vintage, 1940s-themed teashop. Not everyone knows that the previous manager, her great-aunt Polly, still lives there too… as a ghost!

When newcomer Max arrives, hoping to find out more about the place where his German grandfather was a prisoner of war, both Shona and Polly are unsettled. Shona, because handsome, interesting Max is the first man to catch her eye since her divorce, and Polly, because she must finally confront the terrible truth about her past.

A 1940s-themed weekend planned for the village brings the families’ connections to a head and tragic secrets to light.

Can Shona help her ghostly great-aunt to find love and forgiveness once more, while also creating her own happy ever after?

The second in the comforting, feel-good, romantic series with a dash of fantasy that started with Kindred Spirits at Harling Hall. ☕️

 

"Loving Spirits at the Vintage Teashop" is a feel-good novel with a unique blend of cozy romance and supernatural mystery. The story is set in the charming Cotswold village of Rowan Vale, where a ghostly great-aunt, Polly, adds a touch of mischief and warmth.

The Cotswold village setting is beautifully described, creating a sense of nostalgia and charm. The intriguing premise and ghostly mystery kept me invested 

The dual-layered mystery is a standout feature, as the protagonist uncovers the truth behind Polly's decades-old murder and its unexpected link to Max, a newcomer tracing his grandfather's wartime past. The slow reveal of secrets gives the book its emotional core and keeps readers engaged in the story. I liked it so much I preordered book 3.
