I really enjoyed this mystery of sorts several things to figure out. Nothing was left to guess at. No curse words or sexual references so this would be ok for my preteen advanced reading friends
When Danielle inherits a house from her aunt she decides to turn it into a B&B and start her life anew. She finds that the previous owner has not left, and he has been dead for many years.
I really enjoyed this story. The characters are likable and believable. I also loved the touches of humor. The mystery is an old one and Danielle has her hands full especially as more and more of the tale unravels. She now finds that instead of getting ready for business she is looking for answers to help the ghost of Walt Marlow move on.
I will continue on with this series.
Well crafted story and characters. Ms. Holmes introduces new characters into the series smoothly and each story is unique. Very well edited as well, no conflicts with previous story lines.
Fun cozy mystery along the lines of The Ghost And Mrs. Muir. Entertaining and creative characters.
I so enjoyed this story. It was a fun read. The relationship between the main character and the ghost was charming and witty. The story does lead to a plug for the next book, but does finish the story if you care to end here.
could not put the book down love it
