Editorial reviews

Amanda Ronconi narrates this humorous mystery with the vocal equivalent of an eye roll. While she doesn’t sound bored, she certainly sounds annoyed. But imagine her character’s predicament: She’s purchased an old crumbling Victorian on the Jersey shore, she’s fixing it up into a guesthouse, her precocious nine-year-old is hectoring, and now she finds out the Victorian is haunted!

Admittedly contrived, over-the-top, and including references that will be dated unto obscurity within the next decade or sooner, Night of the Living Deed seeks to achieve only one thing: Your temporary laughter and merriment at - or with - Ronconi’s eye-rolling voice.

Publisher's summary

Welcome to the first Haunted Guest House mystery - the getaway every reader can afford.

Newly divorced Alison Kerby wants a second chance for herself and her nine-year-old daughter. She's returned to her hometown on the Jersey Shore to transform a Victorian fixer-upper into a charming-and profitable guest house. One small problem: the house is haunted, and the two ghosts insist Alison must find out who killed them.

Loved the Series!

I loved listening to the entire Haunted Guest House Mystery Series. I enjoyed the characters and all their quirks which made the story all the more interesting. It is also interesting to note that half of all the characters are all ghosts and that most of them have fully developed personalities and contribute to the story. I have never read a book where the living and the dead interacted so freely, so frequently, and so successfully before. The books held my attention through the entire series and I would recommend them. Amanda Ronconi does a great job reading the book and doing the voices of the characters.

Well crafted mystery

I’m so glad I found this well written series by E.J. Copperman. Well written with likable characters and just the right amount of humor. A single mom with a nine year old daughter are trying to restore an old home and create a guest house. Little did they know the place already had paranormal “guests”.
Amanda Ronconi’s narration is absolutely perfect. I’ve listened to other books she’s narrated. She has a relaxed style of reading that allows you to just loose yourself in the story. I’ve listened to too many contrived and ponderous offerings lately, and this book was a breath of fresh air and I listened to it in a day.
I’ve already downloaded book 2

Entertaining read long the lines of 'Topper'

Any additional comments?

A light and entertaining story about a single mom and her nine year old girl trying to open a haunted guest house. Not as sophisticated as "Topper" but enjoyed the New Jersey humor. Liked the ghosts and characters, and was able to suspend my belief for the escape value. Looking forward to future books.
