Not much appeal

The change of narrator is jarring. Nothing wrong with Angie Hickman's narration, but after four books to get used to Tara Ochs' voicing of the characters, it's not a good thing to suddenly change to someone different.

Plus the stories themselves don't live up to the potential at the start of the series

Five books in and Cookie hasn't learned a thing.

She's still trying (and failing) to creep up on suspects to overhear them, when she's surrounded by ghosts who could do it for her and remain completely undetected, she's still failing to send a ghost ahead to check out a room before blundering in herself to get attacked, still failing to get a ghost to check outside a door before she tries to make a stealthy exit, still failing to get the ghosts to act as lookouts when she's somewhere she shouldn't be and vulnerable.

Five murders on, and she's still failing to come up with believable excuses and explanations when she's caught out or overheard talking to the ghosts.

It was old three books ago, it isn't even laughable at this stage.
