About this ebook
Home repair meets haunted happenings in the first charming, hilarious Haunted Guest House Mystery!
Newly divorced Alison Kerby wants a second chance for herself and her nine-year-old daughter, so she’s returned to her home town on the Jersey Shore to transform a fixer-upper into a charming—and hopefully profitable—guest house. But when a bump on the head leaves her seeing not only stars but spirits, Alison realizes the real challenge she’s facing is out of this world.
The two residing ghosts are Maxie Malone, the foul-tempered former owner of the house (who has definite opinions about Alison’s design plans), and Paul Harrison, a private eye who’d been working for Maxie—both died in the house on the same night. The official cause of death was suicide, but the ghosts insist they were murdered, and they need Alison to find out who killed them—or the next ghost in the guest house will be Alison herself...

supernatural, cozy-mystery, ghosts, snark-fest, law-enforcement, murder-investigation Great characters both breathing and otherwise! A snarky good read about a single mother with some renovation skills and good friends with a construction business who buys a large distressed house at the shore in her home town with the goal of opening a guesthouse. She didn't count on weird happenings, a concussion, suddenly seeing the ghosts in her home, or learning that both her mother and daughter have seen ghosts for years. Or that she would get talked into investigating the ghost's murders! Loved it! Good stuff eventually happens to those of us who decide to dig around in our TBR pile! The audio is narrated by Amanda Ronconi who is absolutely amazing!

The books are too expensive. $7.99 upto $11.99. Google play book. E books
are suppose to be cheaper. Not the same price in a store.

Not so much for me. I found the main character over the top and annoying. To many wordy attempts to be comedic. could not really visualize it well.
