Be My Ghost

I love the characters in this one! Maureen had skills from her previous job that she used to make the inn more profitable. I loved all the details about what needed fixed and how she planned to do that. I loved Ted and the owners of other shops and the 4 that sat on the porch. They added a lot to the atmosphere and it made sense that they wanted the inn to be profitable, so they worked for it. Lorna was a fun additional character and it wasn't overdone.
The mystery was pretty straightforward. It was mostly finding out how it was done. The solution was clever and I am glad to be rid of the murderer.
I am looking forward to book 2 in the series.

Maureen's job has come to an end. After years in the world of retail, her place of employment is closing. She is officially out of a job. Prospects are non-existent but as she attempts to plan for her future a surprise arrives...in the form of an envelope.

She has somehow become the heir of an inn in Haven, Florida. How, she has no idea. Since she has no other options to Haven she goes...Upon arrival she is told that her inn may be haunted. No worries right? It's just a rumor...

After only one day, Maureen's life becomes even more complicated. It seems one of her guests is dead...and she happens to be the one to find him. Police come. Investigations begin and somehow she is the prime suspect.

How can she begin her new life as an innkeeper and clear her name of all suspicion? And why exactly is her office always so cold? Was she dreaming the other night or was that really a ghost in her room trying on her clothes?

What a fun read!! I was definitely in the right mood for this one! It's fun. It's spooky. There's death...a mystery...and old town feels. Very enjoyable. I can't wait for the next one.

I sincerely appreciate Kensington Books for providing me with an ARC. All opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone. This one comes out August 31 so make sure to snag it! Would be perfect for Spooktober.
