Publisher's summary

Solving a murder way too close to home, Alison Kerby can't catch a break.

If Alison Kerby really wanted peace and quiet, she never should have opened the Haunted Guesthouse. The Jersey Shore lodge's latest polter-guest is Richard Harrison, the recently murdered brother of long-time resident ghost PI Paul Harrison.

Alas, a beyond-the-grave brotherly reunion is nowhere in the foreseeable future - phantasmal Paul left the guesthouse months ago for parts unknown, and for all her ghost-whispering prowess, Alison has no idea how to find him. And she's going to need Paul, because Richard's isn't the only murder still unsolved.

Richard, a lawyer in life, tells Alison that he had been working the case of a woman accused of murdering her stepfather. When Richard got too close to the truth, he was permanently silenced. Now, as Alison searches for Paul, she gets a creeping sensation that the murderer doesn't appreciate her snooping around. If she doesn't succeed in her hunt, she has the feeling that she'll be the next to haunt the house.

Love this series

I really loved this series at first because the author didn't repeat every single book the first few chapters of the book however the latest few I've listened to / read the author recapped most of the other books then recapped the book the story your actually reading or listening to which isn't as awesome. I really like the characters and the story lines, except the grown woman being super weird to maxis character and pretty immature in how they interact. I'd also really love her to stop using the "like cleopatra on her barge" or every variant of that she's used in every single book at least once if not multiple times. Also Allison being allergic to a ghost dog is semi tedious and pretty silly, I wish the author had let the daughter have a ghost dog as a pet with out the silliness of Allison being allergic. Over all great fun reads but the whole reason I loved the series was the author in the first few books no wasting space repeating or summarizing every previous book. So if you skip a ton of pages of the recapping and get to the meat of the story's it's pretty fun.

Paranormal Mystery

I love this series! They're fun, with ghosts & mystery to solve, that doesn't always have the obvious culprit. There's a little snark, fun & a good outcome.

Ok

Another one in the series. If you’ve read the earlier ones you know what to expect. This one has a few sections I lost interest in. But overall a good listen.

Great book series!!!

I'm really enamored with this series and I hope the author writes additional installments beyond the next one, 'Bones Behind the Wheel'!

The narrator is perfect for this series!! I especially enjoy a cozy mystery that has likable, non annoying characters and that makes me laugh out loud! This series has it all!!

Great Series!

I really enjoy this series! I have been listening to these books while I get my miles walked and these stories are quite entertaining. And Amanda Ronconi is a wonderful narrator. I will be sad to get to the end.

Narration and story are consistent

Fun story. Narrator does a nice job transitioning from voices, so characters feel distinct. I have really enjoyed the series story line and the freshness of the plots.
