The Weaver and the Factory Maid

First, a shout out to my friend Shari for letting me know about this series by Deborah Grabien. I wisely decided to start with the first book, which was published a few years ago. In the series Grabien uses folk ballads as a basis for mysteries, and in this story we have the ghosts of the title song to deal with.

I have to admit, I had a hard time getting into the story at first. The characters are so VERY British, with their, "Ta, love, ever so much," that I didn't really like them at first. But Ringan and Penny grew on me. And you know I like fantasy, so I really enjoyed the ghost story, and looked forward to how it would resolve.

Grabien kept my interest to the end, and resolved the story very nicely. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series, and hope that she involves the secondary characters of Liam, Matty, and Albert more - they seem like fun.
