Be My Ghost by Carol J. Perry
4.0
Thank you to Kensington Books, Bibliolifestyle and Carol J. Perry for the ARC of Be My Ghost. This one is out August 31.
Maureen and Finn stole my heart with this charming cozy mystery. This is the best kind of book that you can pick up and escape into. This genre is hard to describe but I love having them as a palette cleanser, especially with the heavy horror books I’ve been reading lately. I did see through this one but I’m still very excited for more in this Haunted Haven series because now that the characters and settings are all sorted, I’m ready for more! I highly recommend this light and fluffy cozy mystery to anyone. Especially dog lovers.
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…
