Comfortable, if a little boring. The story was good, the mystery was just complex enough to keep me curious. I haven't read the other books in this series, so I found the characters took me a while to warm up to.

Unfortunately, even once I was warmed up to them, the characters never became very vibrant. Sadly the ghost haunting the library didn't really have much of a part in the story either. We spent more time with the new ghost than we ever did with the one who is a regular character in the story.

For me, a cozy mystery should put the characters and relationships first and the mystery second. The "cozy" part comes when I feel comfortable with the characters and want to hang out with them. I didn't dislike anybody, but I didn't really like any of them either. The book as a whole was fine, but I won't be searching out the rest of them
