Doom with a View
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
With the arrival of six senior reading group members at the Merry Ghost Inn, the long-awaited Grand Opening week has finally begun for Melanie West and her grandmother, Liza. All is well with the Oregon coast-side B&B until Melanie’s dog, Max, finds the dead body of one of their guests.
Everyone at the inn immediately falls under suspicion, including the innkeepers themselves. Melanie and Liza are not sure who they can trust, and the idea of cohabitating with a murderer is enough to send chills down anyone’s spine. To make matters worse, the curmudgeonly town detective wants them to steer clear of the investigation, but doesn’t seem too inspired to solve the case in a timely fashion himself. To clear their own names and to avoid the blight on the inn’s reputation that yet another dead body will bring, Melanie and Liza dive headlong into the murder investigation.
With a little help from their chuckling ghost, Melanie and Liza dodge the detective, tip-toe around their suspicious guests, and still serve up delicious Bed & Breakfast meals on time in Kate Kingsbury’s delightful second Merry Ghost Inn mystery, Doom with a View.

Kingsbury’s delightful sequel to 2016’s Dead and Breakfast finds former financial analyst Melanie West and her spunky grandmother, Liza Harris, ready for the grand opening of their bed-and-breakfast, the Merry Ghost Inn, in Sully’s Landing, Ore. For the first evening, they have hired a magician to entertain their six guests. Unfortunately, one of them, elderly Walter Dexter, does his best to rattle the magician (“I saw better acts than that in kindergarten”). The next morning, Melanie’s dog, Max, starts barking; she follows him outside and discovers Walter lying in the driveway, his head at an odd angle. Worried that Walter’s demise may harm future reservations, Melanie and Liza set out to find out whodunit and restore their business’s good name. Orville, the laughing ghost that haunts the old inn, assists. Revelations concerning Orville’s past as a live person and the mysterious disappearance of Melanie’s mother enhance the sleuthing. Cozy fans with a taste for the paranormal will be rewarded. Agent: Paige Wheeler, CMA Literary Agency.

A haunted inn finally opens, with decidedly mixed results.Now that they've solved a murder and recovered from a fire (Dead and Breakfast, 2017, etc.), Melanie West and her English-born grandmother, Liza, are hosting the grand opening of the Merry Ghost Inn, a lovely house on the Oregon coast that's fully booked for the week. Although Melanie doesn't believe in ghosts, there's clearly something in the house making noises that sound like laughter. With the help of their new hire, Cindi, Melanie and Liza are seeking to cater to the needs of six people who live in a Portland retirement community and belong to the same book club. The guests enjoy the wonderful food the hostesses serve, but a magic show staged by Cindi's boyfriend, Nick, draws nasty comments from Walter Dexter, one of two men in the group. When Melanie finds Walter dead in the driveway the next morning, she assumes he's suffered a heart attack until the police discover that the railing on the balcony he fell from had been sawed partway through. Melanie's friendship with Officer Ben Carter hasn't extended to Detective Dutton, who's still angry with the ladies for meddling in the inn's first murder. Since the police have forbidden their guests from leaving town even though the inn is also booked for next week, Melanie and Liza have exactly one week to solve the crime. A friendly bar owner feeds Liza leaks he gets from the police, so they have some idea what Ben and Dutton are thinking. But talking with their closemouthed guests may be the best way to discover who had it in for Walter. A distinct improvement over the series debut that provides lots of suspects, family problems, and a hint of romance to come.COPYRIGHT(2017) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
