Be My Ghost

Haunted Haven Mystery Series, Book 1

By: Carol J. Perry

Narrated by: C.S.E. Cooney

Maureen Doherty and her golden retriever, Finn, have taken possession of a charming old inn - only to discover that it's already possessed by tenants whose lease on life already ran out....

Maureen's career as a sportswear buyer hits a snag just before Halloween, when the department store declares bankruptcy. Meanwhile, Finn's lost his way as a guide dog after flunking his test for being too friendly and easily distracted. Sadly, only one of them can earn unemployment, so Maureen's facing a winter of discontent in Boston - when she realizes she can't afford her apartment.

Salvation comes when she receives a mysterious inheritance: an inn in Haven, Florida, a quaint, scenic town on the Gulf of Mexico hidden away from the theme parks. Maureen believes it's a good place to make a fresh start with a new business venture. But she gets more than she bargained for when she finds a dead body on her property - and meets some of the inn's everlasting tenants in the form of ghosts who offer their otherworldly talents in order to help her solve the mystery....

Fun

Delightful story, characters in a quirky hotel. Entertaining and well read/performed. Book even includes a dog.

Fun Cozy Mystery

This is the first book in a lighthearted, cozy mystery series. Although it's pretty easy to spot the villain early in the book, and the sheriff's crime-solving abilities are questionable, it was a fun read and I'm looking forward to spending more time reading about this quirky haunted hotel.

Mix of characters

Liked the mix of characters and voices in the reading. It was a little too obvious Elizabeth was behind it from the start with her attitude throughout. I was thinking maybe the quartet was going to turn out to be ghosts too!

Fun series

Really enjoyable series. Fun characters with laugh out loud moments. I live in Clearwater, FL so I absolutely loved the near St. Petersburg, Fl setting. This author is worth your time!

Cute story

I really like it. I enjoyed the characters, especially the animals.
Going to read the series.
