- Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2016Once again Lin Coffin and her cousin Viv seem to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. All Viv wanted to do was take a weaving class on the craft of Nantucket lightship baskets. Lin told her cousin she would visit the cultural museum exhibition during her class.
Lin and island historian Anton Wilson entered as the staff discovered the valuable lightship basket missing. The mystery of how it was stolen starts.
If you like a good mystery, some humor, and an occasional ghost, this is the series for you. J. A. Whiting writes with a nice flow of keeping the characters moving, the story line easy to follow with some off shots, of Lin and her boyfriend, and Lin and Leonard her business partner in the landscaping business. I saw a previous review that said you don’t have to read the series in order, that is true but you will miss a lot of how the relationships of the characters have meshed.
I will say without spoiling the ending, book 5 can’t come fast enough.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2022This is a fourth in a series. Definitely start from number 1 A Haunted Murder so you can get background on this fabulous series. Lin, the main character can see ghosts. But she doesn't really know what they are trying to tell her. Pick up one of these & see how are figures it out.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2016This series has quickly become a new 'favorite' of mine. There are ghosts, murders, thefts, and solid relationships among the characters.
A Native American appears to Lin, the main character, just as a valuable basket is stolen from the cultural museum. Next we learn of a suicide or was it murder of one of Lin's main suspects? This was the first mystery that appears to have not come directly down her lineal bloodline. I wish the author had explained it a bit more fully as far as Lin's connection. I'll just have to read the next one to see if she does!
A light, fun, and enjoyable cozy murder mystery!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2022Lin and Viv are going to the museum showing the historic basket that is to be displayed for celebration. Martha comes to tell them that the basket has been stolen. A new ghost appears to Lin an ancient indian from the island. Lin and Viv try to figure out who stole the basket and how they got it out of the museum. Good story.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2016I have read several of your books and each one has been awesome. You have a brilliant imagination.I have loved the ghost and the way you have used them in your stories.There's some good ,clean romance incorporated into them also and I appreciate that.The stories are great.Now the characters seem like family and I just finish one book and go right into another. I would recommend these books to anyone who likes mysteries.I don't usually do many reviews but just had to do one on these books.Keep up the good writing JA Whiting.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2021A very nice read to pass the time. The mystery is well crafted and was a pleasure to read. To anyone who is looking for an enjoyable read, then this is the one.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2020The Lin Coffin books are always a fun read. They have ghosts, a smart dog, a smart cat, reasonably intelligent humans, interesting mysteries, and evil doers doing evil deeds. Characters are well fleshed out and there is witty dialogue. I only wish the ghosts would speak...but I guess we can’t have everything. Highly recommend!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2020A good small town mystery. However they repeat too many scenerios. Give the reader some credit for having a memory. I personally try to discover the killer halfway thru the book. I'm usually right. My father and I have challenged each other this way since I was ten. I like how you develop the characters and weave the story ....just ad more mystery.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ghost, the missing basket and death make her work hard for answers
Outstanding. They say no good deed goes unpunished. Maybe that's why getting her cousin on a basket weaving course leads her to be on site when an old, priceless basket goes missing. Who stole it? Weaves and turns make this a great read. Okay the culprit is obvious but how to bring them to justice makes a terrific read. This also introduces C Rollins for the first time. Great look at the passion people have for crafts and the ends they will go to to get a priceless work.
