Publisher's summary

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 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.

one-dimensional characters

The narration was goofy and hard to be patient with. The voice made the characters sound like simpletons. I couldn't finish, had to jettison and move on.

Cute story

The story is very enjoyable but very predictable. The narrator may put you off. Her interpretation of men and people in positions of authority is downright grating. I’m trying to decide if I’m completely put off listening to the next in the series or if I should just read the book.

Like Eating Potato Chips -It Was Hard to Stop!

I loved this book. Listening to it was addictive to the point that I have not been very productive with other things. I sorta had a few hints on who the culprit might be but not expecting the entire ending as it unfolded. I hope there will be an audible for the next story Ms. Perry writes!
