Thank you to Netgally, the publishers, and Allison Brook.
I have enjoyed each of the books in this series. It's a good cozy mystery series. The characters are all loveable and fun to get to know. You don't have to read the series in order, but it does help to get to know all the characters and their backgrounds.
This book isn't one of my favorites in this series, but it is still good and well written. My only issue with it really is a person issue that may not bother most other people. But as a Christian I was not the biggest fan of one of the ghosts talking to the "higher ups" and deciding if and when the other ghost in the story would get to move on in the afterlife. None of the other books in the series have any other talk or mentions of things like this.
I still plan on continuing reading this series as more books come out, because I do still like the characters and storylines. I would definitely recommend this book/series to anyone looking for some good cozy mysteries involving a library cat, libraries, family, and a loving community.

Thank you to @netgalley and @crookedlanebooks for the ARC of Dewey Decimated, book 6 in the Haunted Library mystery series by Allison Brook (pen name for Marilyn Levinson).
It was great to return to Clover Ridge and spend time with Librarian Carrie, her cat Smoky Joe and the rest of her close knit community including librae ghost Evelyn.
A solid entry into a great library cozy mystery series and I thought I had the mystery solved only to be surprised! I’m always sorry when these books end.

I think this series is becoming very entertaining again and I liked this new instalment.
It's well plotted, entertaining and I was glad to catch up with the characters. The mystery is solid and kept me guessing.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Another fun installment in the Haunted Library series. This was an interesting case for Carrie as it has several surprises along the way. A new ghost brings a different element to the story and the fact that Alec is related to Carrie's fiancé also made for an added layer to the mystery. This case definitely has several fun elements. I enjoyed this story and look forward to more of the series. A quick and easy read/listen.
