Mrs. Morris and the Pot of Gold by Traci Wilton is the sixth A Salem B&B Mystery. It can be read as a standalone for those who are new to the series or missed a book along the way. I like Traci Wilton’s casual writing style. It makes the story easy and enjoyable to read. There are great characters in this series. I like Charlene, Minnie, Avery, and Jack. I enjoy Charlene and Jack’s interactions. The mystery was well-plotted. I like how Jack helps with the investigation. Charlene needs to get over some of her qualms and utilize him more. I do feel that Charlene needs to work on her sleuthing skills (so she does not tick people off). There is a side mystery featuring a guest that gets on Charlene’s bad side. I like how the author incorporates Salem lore, businesses, and history into the story. Minnie prepares some delectable meals, and the descriptions will have you salivating. Mrs. Morris and the Pot of Gold was a fun cozy mystery. I enjoyed my visit and I look forward to returning in the next installment. Mrs. Morris and the Pot of Gold is great craic with scrumptious corned beef, chocolate coins, a shrouded slayer, a cagey guest, fun festivities, a gracious and obliging ghost, and an inquisitive innkeeper.
