Review: Killing in C Sharp by Alexia Gordon

Gethsemane Brown saved her current residence from developers in the preceding book. Now, in book 3 in the series, she and her ghostly companion must face down some ghost hunters. The owner of her residence has given the ghost hunters permission to look for ghosts on the property. Gethsemane and Eamon must work together to keep Eamon from discovery.

Meanwhile, a distasteful critic has appeared on the scene as a new opera is prepared to debut. Only problem: the new opera draws the attention of a vengeful ghost who is seeking to take revenge on firstborn males. Can Gethsemane and Eamon keep the ghost from killing them all? When the critic turns up dead, can Gethsemane solve that mystery as well?

This is a well-written cozy mystery. I liked the characterization. It seemed almost like the village itself was a character as to how people interacted.

The pacing was good. The plot was well drawn and a little different with the addition of the vengeful ghost mystery to the murder mystery. I didn't see the end coming. I enjoyed being surprised by how things worked out exactly.

Overall, I give this book 4 out of 5 stars. It's well worth a read. This book works well as a standalone since some it seems that some of Gethsemane's normal interactions are curbed by the vengeful ghost sickening people. Enough background is given to appreciate the mysteries and their solutions. And I suspect that like me, once you've read this one, you will want to read others in the series. This is a good read for fans of cozies, especially small town cozies.
