Lorna solves a murder again; this time in a castle with lots of cats around. There is a ghost of a man who was supposedly smothered to death by a cat. But Lorna and friends wade through the suspects and catch the real murderer. Lorna, Helen, Zach and his brother Gunner have decided to buy a house for all of them to share; but they keep running into houses with ghosts. So finally they decide to buy some land and have a house built. Hope no one was murdered on that piece of land.

Ghostly Business is the fifth book in the Lorna Shadow Cozy Ghost Mystery series. Lorna has a lot on her plate this time. Between the house hunting and Zach, a bunch of unwanted cats, and a ghost determined to figure out who killed him, she has her work cut out for her. Can she find the killer, give Leo peace, find the perfect ghost-free house, and save the cats? This was a great story. I highly recommend this book.

Ghosting, a Woof, Kitties, and nasties! What could be better!
Fun read with plenty of twisty nasty characters, any one of which could have done it. Lorna and Flipper (kept looking for a dolphin) are a grand pair, as are the rest of her friends. Sure to enjoy this quick-read cozy mystery.

An interesting read that kept me guessing to the end. I am glad the red herrings turned out the way the did. This is a book to read while relaxing at the beach or lazing away in a hammock some where.
