Great Cozy Mystery: Grave Errors by Carol J Perry

One thing I love about bookstores is to walk around and see what new paperbacks are available. I just
don't have the patience to scan through everything on-line, so a couple of months ago in Barnes and Noble I found "Grave Errors," a Witch City Mystery by Carol J. Perry. It was really enjoyable and I look forward to reading the rest in the series! 
  It turns out there are 10 books in the series, and "Witch City" is of course, Salem, Massachusetts, which is the setting for the book. The main character, Lee, is a teacher who prepares students of all ages for journalism. She has a "gift" to see "visions" associated with people she gets involved with, and they lead her to interesting discoveries- a perfect character for this kind of series. Her boyfriend is a Salem police officer and that comes in handy! 
   I couldn't wait to find out who the murderer was in this story. It's well-written and really has wonderful characters, from Lee's Aunt, to her various students. Lee tries to solve a student's sister's death, but winds up trying to solve another... and the method that a murderer used was totally unexpected and clever.  This is a great book!  5 of 5 stars! - Rob 

ABOUT THE BOOK FROM AMAZON:  For residents of Salem, Massachusetts, the day after Halloween brings empty candy wrappers, sagging pumpkins, and a community-wide identity crisis. That is, until Lee Barrett’s TV production class suggests extending the spooky season with the traditional Mexican celebration Dia de Los Muertos. But when the students discover not all of Salem’s dead are resting in peace, the post-October blues don’t seem so bad after all . . .
 
As if a series of haunting graveyard visits isn’t disturbing enough, Lee and her policeman boyfriend connect the crime to an unsolved missing person case. Driven by a series of chilling psychic visions, Lee calls on her cleverest allies—including her shrewd cat, O’Ryan—to go underground and dig up the evidence needed to put a lid on a cold case forever . . . before the latest headstone in town has her name on it!
