Murder on Waverly Place
Victoria Thompson
4/5
These books are so easy to read! I start it and all of the sudden it's over. Sarah's mother asks for Sarah's help, she wants to go to a seance and she wants Sarah to accompany her. It makes sense- she's still grieving over the loss of her daughter and the guilt she feels for causing it. What doesn't make sense is the murder of one of the other women in attendance at the seance, which has Sarah being involved in another of Sergeant Malloy's investigations.
I liked the mystery because it was kind of double-tiered. On one hand, we're trying to figure out who committed the actual murder and on the other we're trying to figure out if Madam Serafina can actually speak to ghosts. We also find out a little more about Maeve, which was interesting and done in a better way than the complete take over in the last book. It was overall a pretty great addition, minus some lulls in the action that were kind of boring.
Writing reviews for all these books is really just me asking everyone to read this series over and over, it's a really great series. Every book gets a little closer to Sarah and Malloy getting together (though I noticed him being called Frank by the narrator a lot more in this one and I don't know if I can call him Frank) so I'm really looking forward to that culmination.
