Off the Bookshelf: DEAD AND BREAKFAST, by Kate Kingsbury

 

A Merry Ghost Inn Mystery

Audible/Audiobooks

Narrated by Tavia Gilbert

 Melanie and her grandmother, Liza, have bought an allegedly haunted mansion to turn it into a bed & breakfast. Renovations screech to a halt when removing wallpaper reveals a hidden doorway -- with a skeleton sitting behind it.

The ladies can't continue renovations until the death is investigated, so they get involved learning about the history of the house. Which leads to investigating the family who lived there before them, and asking questions about the ghost that laughs quietly at inconvenient times. Then things get even more tense when a woman is killed on the beach nearby -- and she looks like Melanie. 

Looks like it isn't just the local cops who are irritated by the women sticking their noses into the investigation. 

Will Melanie and Liza survive to get their answers, and finally get the house renovated so they can take guests? Or will the murderer triumph? And what exactly makes the ghost laugh?
