If ever a whole town could be haunted, Devil’s Moon, Kentucky would be that town. Ripley Van Raden, or Rip as her friends call her, has come back to her hometown to start her own ghost tour business. That’s not her only career path though. Librarian by day, and ghost tour guide by night, Rip is ready to take on the ghosts following her around and the mysterious residents who show up for more than … than the tour in the Devil’s Moon Cemetery.
Her first day on the job as librarian, Ripley finds a dead body and a ghost who can only communicate through electronics. Who knew ghosts could send text messages? To make things even more complicated, Ripley meets a hot cop who happens to also be a ghost hunter. She doesn’t know if Brannon Landon is interested in helping her or just around for the paranormal activity.
When Rip discovers threatening notes between the pages of a novel, she must solve the library patron’s mysterious death before she unwillingly joins the other side of her haunted tour.

This review is for the audio book.
I have listened to a few books by this author before and thought I would give her new series ago too. Glad I did because it is a fun ghostly mystery with some good characters. Although I did like the main character at times she was a bit whiny and no sooner than she said she wasn’t going to do or say something …
It sounded fun. Really, it did. But the writing is so poor, I couldn’t deal with it. Repeated words in subsequent sentences kept snagging my attention. Trite descriptions and pointless, repetitive dialogue.
She meets a ghost. A real ghost. And she insists on talking to it as if it’s a library patron checking out a book? Come on ….
What stopped …
Great cozy mystery has likable characters and a good plot. Recommend.
