5.0 out of 5 stars Who would think that something involving a funeral would be fun?

One thing I like about these "Funeral Fakers" books is that they're each written by a different author. So far, each has been well done, each with a different take on the whole premise. That might be hard to do, if they were all written by the same author.
On this third book of the series, the plot was more than plausible, and Rosie was just another actress who didn't "make" it in L.A. While the dead person hadn't endeared himself to many in his lifetime, Rosie still found something nice to say about him...and it was the truth. And Rosie was trying all she could just to keep her grandmother safe and happy. This is probably my favorite, and the most realistically believable, of the three I've read so far....... I recommend this, as well as the others, to anyone who wants a light, fast read, with just enough quirk to make it interesting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best of the two Mourning that I have read so far.

Lost Souls ParaAgency and the Illusion of a Vampire #3 – This is my first read by this author and I loved it. I did not know this was a series, there were a few mentions of the past, but it did not take away from this book – a standalone for sure. The storylines are interesting with plenty of humor. The characters, even the baddies, are interesting and believable. None of them acted stupid and some even had intelligence.

There is an event mentioned but not delved into so it is a nice surprise to find the details after the story ended. Looks like there will be another character added to the gang in the next book. I had so much fun reading this book that it finished too soon with the steadily moving pace. The mystery is a good one, better than the usual cozy. There is an overview, which I appreciate knowing about a book before I read it. I found this book on Booksprout. 4*

Right Witch Wrong Time #5 – While I was reading Mourning Express, this book popped up on Booksprout. Again, being clueless about this series and having enjoyed the last two books I read, I thought, why not. This book is different from the other two concerning the low level of humor because of the serious mood in the storylines. The storylines are interesting, but time travel to the 80s wasn’t my cup of time, I didn’t like the 80s. The mysteries the investigator worked on were interesting, a daughter discovering her mother who died at childbirth. Still a good book to read, just not for me. 4*

Mourning Express #3 – After reading Lost Souls #3, I discovered this book in my library. I had read Sam Cheever’s addition to the Funeral Fakers, loved it, and thought why not read this one, too. Well written with interesting storylines, even though it is sad about Grammy, there was plenty of humor, some out loud bursts. The characters are well written and entertaining, with plenty of good dialog. Rosie actually has a bit of IQ about her. The mystery was not bad, with the usual redirects. 4*

5.0 out of 5 stars Not such a diva

Rosie has been labeled a diva but what she really is is kind and caring and struggling to keep things together for her granny. I hope Rosie returns because she needs to resolve the brother situation. Rosie goes beyond her job to help others. I love that she does tons of research instead of jumping head first into messes. Gabe is a wonderful friend and I loved that Mateo turned out to be one as well. Rosie needs a lot of support on her side so it was great to see the guys help her. Good twist to the murder. Would definitely love to see Rosie return.
