In UNFINISHED BUSINESS AN ANGELA PANTHER MYSTERY, #1 AMAZON bestselling cozy mystery author Carolyn Ridder Aspenson introduces her now trademark blend of witty dialog and hilarious banter in the first book of her paranormal cozy mystery series. Filled with romance and friendships reminiscent of chick-lit novels, Unfinished Business An Angela Panther Mystery is a humorous and heartwarming cozy … mystery adventure.
When Angela Panther’s mother Fran Richter wakes her up in the middle of the night ranting about stolen Hershey Bars, Angela thinks her mother’s got a screw loose. And then it hits her. Her mother is dead. Just a few hours before, Angela watched as the funeral home staff nearly dropped her mother’s body off the gurney while sliding her into the hearse. So maybe she’s the one that’s nuttier than a fruitcake?
But Fran keeps popping in and with a volcano full of drama already brewing at home–crazy or not–Angela’s grateful for her mother’s presence.
It’s the other ghosts she can do without.
Seems Fran’s return opened a portal between Angela and the other side and ghosts are hitting up the reluctant psychic medium for help. From the naked British guy juggling balls in the coffee shop parking lot to the woman desperately trying to save her sick child, Angela must find a way to balance her life with the unfinished business of the dead.
This cozy mystery was a finalist in the 2014 RONE Awards from InD’Tale Magazine.

I just love this series! This is the first book, and it sets the characters up nicely. Once I read this one, I just couldn’t wait to read the next one, and the next one, and the next one! The little novellas are extremely entertaining as well. I definitely recommend this series!
I like the characters in this book and I did enjoy some of their interactions and witty banter. This book sets up the characters and paranormal world well for future books in the series. Overall I found the book a bit slow. There was not much happening beside normal day to day life for Angela and the discovery that see can see ghosts. There is …
I bought the three books in the series and have only read this first one so far.
I liked the story, it went in a different direction than I was expecting. The characters were interesting and the story flowed well. You could see this as a real family life.
