A Fun Cozy Mystery series: Haunted Haven Mystery: Be My Ghost

 Author Carol J. Perry writes the "Witch City Mysteries" which are one of my favorites. I discovered that she also has a second series, called "Haunted Haven Mysteries," is about a haunted hotel in Florida. The first in the series, "Be My Ghost" was a fun read. 



ENJOYABLE!  GREAT CHARACTERS AND MYSTERY - The main character is a woman named Maureen who loses her clothing based job in NYC and inherits a still active hotel in Florida. She doesn't know who the former owner is, though, which is a mystery that runs through the series. But she and her dog, Finn, a Golden Retriever, encounter some of the strange goings on and meet a cast of interesting characters. 

The characters are interesting and the book makes you want to read until you can't keep your eyes open! Many nights I was so into the book, physical exhaustion overcame my ability to stay awake to read more. I'm looking forward to the next in the series (there are 2 more already).

ABOUT THE BOOK: Maureen Doherty and her golden retriever Finn have taken possession of a charming old inn—only to discover that it’s already possessed by tenants whose lease on life already ran out . . .

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...
