Maddie Kosloski is happy to be back at home in San
Benedetto with her best friends, Adele Nakamoto and
Harper Calderelli, although she wishes the circumstances
were a bit different. Adele has plans to open a tea room
but there's just one catch—she someone needs to run
the
Paranormal Museum adjoining it. With Maddie at loose ends
after being fired, Maddie finds herself as the reluctant
proprietor of the town's Paranormal Museum. Unfortunately,
things worsen when a woman is found dead in the building
and Adele is the primary suspect. Can Maddie uncover who
the real killer is?
I love the characters in THE PERFECTLY PARANORMAL MUSEUM!
Kirsten Weiss creates the sort of characters you'd love
to hang out with for a few hours. From Maddie and her two
best friends to the sexy biker next door, each character
has their own distinct voice. Maddie, however, is my
favorite character as she is loyal, determined, and
realistic. She sticks to her ethics, even when it costs
her personally. She's the perfect heroine for a cozy
mystery, and I love watching her untangle all the clues
and red herrings to determine who the real murderer is in
San Benedetto.
The Paranormal Museum is packed with all sorts of creepy
things, and I love seeing Maddie explore and inventory the
museum. I particularly like the ghost story involving
Cora and her conviction for killing her husband as it
adds a hometown feeling to a museum filled with rooms
such as the Creepy Doll Room and the Fortune Telling
Room.
I really hope THE PERFECTLY PROPER PARANORMAL MUSEUM is
the start of a new series. I love everything about this
book! The characters are just quirky enough to be fun and
the Paranormal Museum itself is full of all sorts of odd
stories and unusual items. And besides, who can't help
but love a cozy mystery with a cat named GD due to his
ghost detecting abilities? Kirsten Weiss has a winner on
her hands with THE PERFECTLY PROPER PARANORMAL MUSEUM!
A Perfectly Proper Murder When Maddie Kosloski’s career flatlines, she retreats to her wine country hometown for solace and cheap rent.
