Alison Kerby’s guesthouse is already crowded with spirits. The last thing she needs is a whole new batch of haunts settling in. As Alison’s reputation as “the ghost lady” grows, so does her business—and not always in a way she’d like. Tourists may be flocking to her guesthouse for a chance to glimpse her resident spirits, but her special abilities are also bringing unwanted private investigation cases to her door. And she has no choice but to take a case when the local homeless man is found murdered under mysterious circumstances, just hours after asking for help in exorcising a specter.If that weren’t enough to deal with, Alison’s other PI case soon turns fatal, as the mistress she was spying on for a jealous wife turns up dead as well. The cases seem like they couldn’t possibly be linked, but with a mountain of clues, motives and suspects—both living and dead—Alison will have to think fast before someone else checks out for good…

"Not the best. The main character takes FOREVER to stop being secretive. She runs a haunted guest house, advertises it as such and yet tries to make the locals think she's normal and just conning guests for money. I don't get it. There's a lot of flaws in this story that should have been worked out a book or two back. Allison Kirby is not the most likable character for this reason and could be written a little smarter given her experience at this point. Her unwillingness to be a PI and desire to get out of her deal with her ghosts is also just appalling. But I do still like the setting and supporting cast so I'll check out the next book in the series."
