I quite enjoyed this short story. The main character is a grumpy character, but she knows it, and I think she tries to work on it, when she can, or when she feels like it. The mystery was almost secondary to what Patty was going to do next, for me, anyway. She has seen a lot of sorrows, and can see some ghosts, sometimes. I like her and will see what she is up to in her next book. Gretchen LaBuhn does a great job narrating.
