4.0 out of 5 stars
Easy Reading,
By Luisa Alves (London, England United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tomb with a View (Pepper Martin Mysteries (Berkley)) (Mass Market Paperback)
Pepper is fun and can see ghosts. The book is entertaining and light reading, have read a couple of others they are enjoyable but similar in storyline. I recommend if you want something light and easy to read.

Great new Pepper Martin mystery,
By SuzieQ "cozy in pottsville" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tomb with a View (Pepper Martin Mysteries (Berkley)) (Mass Market Paperback)
Pepper becomes involved with the most famous ghost in the cemetery in which she works. President Garfield's ghost haunts his memorial and sees the aftermath of a murder. The victim, a supposed descendant of the president, is an expert on Garfield. On the outs with her former detective boyfriend, Pepper wants to solve the case before he does. The appearance of phoney credit cards and a supposed surprise historic document add to the mayhem.
Being a history buff, I liked the historical aspect of this book about President Garfield. I also greatly enjoyed the interaction between Pepper and the President. It was fun! Pepper, throughout this series, is a real person. She isn't perfect, but she is quite likable. She has her faults which makes her more real to me. The climax of the story really wove all the threads of the plot neatly together. This was a great read; I recommend it!!! Thanks, Ms. Daniels for a terrific book! 11 of 12 people found the following review helpful:

paranormal mystery fun!,
By S. Stogner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tomb with a View (Pepper Martin Mysteries (Berkley)) (Mass Market Paperback)
I am not an eloquent reviewer, but I do know when I read a great book. I have read all the Pepper books and they keep getting better. I love the way Casey Daniels writes. Her books flow, they are engaging and Casey Daniels makes you care about Pepper. I am normally not a mystery fan, but paranormal mystery is fun! Throw in a little romance and I am in heaven. Pepper butts heads with Quinn (ubercop, uberhot, just uber) she is always getting involved in his murder cases or maybe he just keeps getting mixed up in her investigations. See, Pepper can talk to ghosts and has become a kind of private investigator for the undead. Unfortunately, Quinn needs to be taken down a peg or two. I hope in the end they end up together (did I mention ubersexy, alpha-male detective?), but not before Pepper gets the satisfaction of making him grovel <G>. Everyone can enjoy this book.

Love James A Garfield!,
By S. McCullough "pacey1927" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tomb with a View (Pepper Martin Mysteries (Berkley)) (Mass Market Paperback)
I have long been a fan of Casey Daniel's Pepper Martin series. The books are always worth reading and I am happy to say this newest installment "Tomb With A View" is my favorite so far. Honestly, I haven't enjoyed one as much since the first book "Don of the Dead" or "Tombs of Endearment", book #3. Pepper is one of the most likeable female characters in any series I read. She is fashionable, but not so over the top that all we hear about is Gucci or Prada. She is tenderhearted and sassy at the same time. And the girl sure can snark with the best of them. She wants to do the right thing even when she really doesn't like what that means in certain situations. Here, one of the most annoying volunteers at the cemetary is found murdered in President Garfield's tomb. Marjorie Klinker wasn't justa a know it all volunteer but also a huge collector of all things Garfield (the President, not the cat, points out Pepper in the book) but she also claims to be a decendent of Garfield from an affair he once had. Of course, Pepper can't resist investigating especially when she has help from the President himself. The stronger and more fun the ghosts in each book are, then stronger the particular installment. James A Garfield is one of the best ghostly characters to date. He is a stuffy old president who has a great backstory to tell, both historically accurate one and 'fictionalized for fabulousness' version created by Ms. Daniels. I wanted to immediately wiki him and learn more about the short-lived president after I finished reading the book. I like that Pepper has relationships and I really ejoy the fact that they are never bigger than the plot and the sex, when there is sex, is understated. This particular mystery had several reveals and a couple I guessed correctly at but it never lessened the fun. I can't wait to read the next book "A Hard Day's Fright" coming in April. I always forget how much pure fun this series is until a new one is released.
