Editorial reviews

Allison Kerby can communicate with ghosts, but her uncanny gift has its price: Allison frequently finds herself in the reluctant role of private investigator for specters seeking supernatural justice. When Allison’s late father - himself among her ghostly guests - suddenly disappears, Allison seeks clues to his whereabouts from her new client, a vindictive and vengeful visitor, his death shrouded in mystery. The ensuing intrigue threatens to make a ghost of Allison herself. Portraying the haunted heroine, actress Amanda Ronconi is animated and amiable, emphasizing Allison’s role as a caring, compassionate mother. Indeed, Allison is very much a family woman, even if her family is full of phantoms. Nevertheless, as Allison plunges into a plight of peril, Ronconi strikes an increasingly tremulous tone, rife with raw urgency.

Publisher's summary

Alison Kerby’s guesthouse is haunted all year round. Surviving the dead of winter, though? That’s a spooky proposition. Even with a blizzard bearing down on New Jersey, Alison can count on at least two guests—Paul and Maxie, the stubborn ghosts who share her shore town inn. Then there’s her widowed mother, who hasn’t just been seeing ghosts, she’s been secretly dating one: Alison’s father. But when he stands her up three times in a row, something’s wrong. Is he a lost soul…or a missing apparition? Their only lead is an overdramatic spirit—stage name Lawrence Laurentz—who doesn’t take direction well and won’t talk until they find his killer. Alison will reluctantly play the part of PI, but when the clues take a sinister turn, the writing is on the wall: If Alison can’t keep a level head, this will be her father’s final act—and maybe her own.

They just get better!

I love this series. Great story and characters. They get better with each story. Alison and the rest are a hoot. I read the first 4 books several years ago and decided to try them in Audible. I am so glad I did! Amanda Ronconi did an awesome job. I listen every where including work and have to catch myself from laughing out loud.
Thank you both!

So Enjoyable!

I am enamored with the characters and the narration is so well done,
with great humor, I cracked up "Out Loud" more than a few times!

Love these books!

I love the series! Pretty much anything this guy writes, I know I’m going to love… And aside from, or in addition to this, is the draw of Amanda Ronconi! That woman makes any book good!!!

Enjoyed

Chance of a Ghost seemed to takeoff slower then the other books in Haunted Guesthouse series . But other than that I really enjoyed this book. I'm off to read the next one in this series. I will be sad when they are over.

Chance of a ghost

This audio book version of this story was fun to listen to. The characters were lively and had a lot of things going on and problems to solve. I want to read the next one in the series.

Good Story

This was the best story yet, with a believable heroine that you want to triumph. She's funny and I can identify with her as well as her secondary characters. She has witty dialogue and deals with the paranormal in a very common sense un-new age way.
