Charlene Morris knew Salem, Massachusetts, had a spooky reputation. But when she decided to open her B&B there, she expected guests - not ghosts....

A grieving young widow, Charlene needed a new start - so she bought a historic mansion, sight unseen, and drove from Chicago to New England to start turning it into a bed-and-breakfast.

On her first night in the house, she awakens to find a handsome man with startling blue eyes in her bedroom. Terror turns to utter disbelief when he politely introduces himself as Jack Strathmore - and explains that he used to live here - when he was alive.

He firmly believes that someone pushed him down the stairs three years ago, and he won't be able to leave until someone figures out who.

If Charlene wants to get her business up and running in time for the Halloween tourist rush, and get this haunting house guest out of the way, she'll have to investigate. Though truth be told, this ghost is starting to grow on her....

The author’s style and unique voice put me smack in the middle of Mrs. Morris’s life and dilemma as she tries to move forward after losing her husband and then suspending her beliefs to deal with her now present reality. Great characters and setting. Can’t wait to finish the series.

A bit of Mrs Morris in each of us

This is very reminiscent of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. I always loved that story.

I’m a paranormal investigator, so I believe in ghosts. This story line is total drivel. I think the author might also want to research wine tasting. Annoying lack of attention to detail.

Oh, come on

It’s a story that has been told by other authors - middle aged lady suffers major life change, moves to a new place to open a historic inn/b&b/bookstore/cafe and can see the ghostly inhabitants.

It was done reasonably well, but there were several comments and attitudes that felt out of place. Most of those anachronisms are directed toward women or the relationship between men and women. The story is supposed to be contemporary - it includes smart phones, Google, and the Black Eyed Peas; however, the characters often think like people would have 100 or 200 years ago. As an example, when discussing why a woman might cheat on her husband, the main character says something along the lines of “She had a handsome husband, who bought her this beautiful house, and provided her with wealth. What more could a woman want?”

The main character is supposed to be an advertising professional. Advertising is the only business she has worked in since finishing her college degree (until this story begins); yet every time she comments on how advertising works, she provides her credentials by saying “I was a marketing major.” As though the 20 years of experience she had in the business was less important than her major in college.

The performance was reasonable, but it took me a long time to get used to the pauses that the narrator inserts in sentences. About halfway through the story, I realized that she speaks like a female Jeff Goldbloom.

As a free book, it’s fine. If I had paid a credit for it, I would have hit the return button very quickly.

It kept enough of my attention that I finished it

Poor differentiation in pitch between characters. Would have been improved by duo of narrators, or the editor adjusting the pitch for the male characters.

Good story and interesting characters.

Love story no matter what stood in front of them. Reminds me of the Ghost and Mrs. Murior

Excellent read

Unfortunately the bad acting stood out the most. I liked the story though so I kept listening. I would have listened to another book in this series, but the choppy bad acting is making me not want to listen to another.

Wish I wanted to hear another

This book is too similar to the Ghost of Marlow House series by Bobbi Holmes, which is excellent. So many things bothered me about the book. There is little interaction between Charlene and the ghost, yet she has developed strong feelings for Jack. Through most of the book, she is grieving her husband, looks for his spirit, but Jack helps her get over her grief in just a few weeks. Then there’s the big deal about not doing an autopsy on Jack. Since he was healthy, with no previous medical concerns, they would most certainly do an autopsy. Charlene spent all her money on the house, but buys furniture and antiques. The antiques weren’t necessary to open a B & B. And how many times does the author have Sam rubbing his mustache? I know very few men who actually have a mustache with no beard of some kind. Overall, the story wasn’t bad, but I was disappointed in this book.
