If bed-and-breakfast owners Melanie and Liza, along
with their laughing ghost tenant, can’t find a real estate
developer’s killer, their own estate will end up with their
next of kin.
The Merry Ghost Inn is well and truly open for business.
Melanie West, her grandmother, Liza, and their beloved
sheepdog/wolfhound mix, Max, are rapidly getting the hang of
running their charming bed-and-breakfast inn on the rocky
Oregon coast. Not that business goes without a hitch―when
your hostelry boasts its own laughing resident ghost, you’d
better be expect the out-of-the-ordinary. But Melanie and
Liza take it all in stride…until a hotshot real estate
developer arrives in Sully’s Landing, touting his plans to
build a tacky amusement arcade smack dab in the middle of
the tasteful cliff-side town.
No one in Sully’s Landing can stand the gaudy developer, but
it’s still a shock when he ends up murdered. It’s even more
shocking when Liza’s friend, Doug, emerges as the chief
suspect. Melanie and Liza put on their sleuthing caps yet
again and set out to clear Doug’s name. They nearly check
into accommodations six feet under when, en route to the
crime scene, their brakes give out and they narrowly miss
plunging over the cliffs to the beach below. Meanwhile, the
merry ghost who haunts the inn tries to help by dropping
clues for Melanie to find, but her mind is otherwise
preoccupied when the killer kidnaps Liza and holds her prisoner.
Now, it’s up to Melanie to piece together the ghost’s clues,
save her mother, exonerate her friend, keep her guests
happy, and make sure Max gets his walkies in Kate
Kingsbury’s third mirthful Merry Ghost Inn mystery, Be
Our Ghost.
