This engaging mystery set in a “new-to-you” store was fun and thoughtful. The characters were great, especially the ghost mouse, although I would have liked to see some growth in the adult characters. Also, I wish the author had trusted in her story to get her point across without hurling herself up on her soapbox at the end. Still, it was great fun in a unique setting. Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for the ARC.
