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 … 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…

Alison Kerby and her 9 year old daughter, Melissa return to New Jersey to fix up a fixer upper house as a guest house and meet 2 ghosts; Maxi Malone the previous owner and Paul Harrison the private investigator that Maxi hired before they were murdered. This had humor, suspense and a lot of twists and turns.

OLD HOUSE
UNRESOLVED ISSUES
And mutual detective talents.
This starts as a great many ghost stories start: divorced woman with child moves to new city to start life all over again. Buys an old house. Starts hearing and seeing things that shouldn’t be there. What is not expected are the giggles while reading this “Topper” like detective story.

What a great series! Original characters, great plots, wonderful dialogue. Very funny!
I love this line of books by this author. Imaginative and witty, I cannot predict what the next situation, comment, or comeback statement is going to pop out of her character’s mouths.
A must read for those who want a taste of a great read with a sense of humor!
Well written and fast paced. Plot different than I have seen before. Made me not see who did it before the end.
I was not a fan of this book. Had to push myself to keep reading.
Fun, fun, fun! This story is a great little get away. The ghosts characters really make this book.
Light reading, but I liked the character and would read another one.
Love characters and set up. Well written and great read.
love Copperman’s haunted guest house series
This story had me from the very first paragraph. Great characters and a fun read.
Loved it! 🙂
Light read. Enjoyable
I don’t know how, but the author made this typical cozy interesting and fun to read without making the reader feel silly for having bothered with it. I’ll look for more by this author.
Funny ghost story that is the first in a series. I’ll be getting more to be added to my to-be-read pile
