About this ebook

A Perfectly Proper Murder…

​Going home again isn’t easy. After years abroad, Maddie Kosloski is a fish out of water in her rural hometown, and all she wants is to restart her overseas career. Instead, she gets a small-town paranormal museum, a fresh corpse, and a ghost-detecting cat.

With her high school bully as one of the detectives in charge of the investigation, Maddie doubts justice will be served. And when one of her best friends is arrested, she’s certain it won’t be. Juggling ghost hunters, obsessed taxidermists, and the handsome motorcyclist next door, Maddie must solve this murder—and fast—before she becomes the next ghost in the museum.

A hilarious whodunit packed with quirky characters, a cat with an attitude, and murder, this light paranormal mystery is perfect for fans of Jana DeLeon, Laura Childs, and Juliet Blackwell. Get cozy with book one in the Paranormal Museum mystery series and start this charming mystery today.

Ratings and reviews

Started out interesting and I liked the writing style, but the main character started to get a little annoying. Too internally whiny; I could understand her dilemma but couldn't really empathize.

The book was slow in the beginning but picked up and the characters great!

so pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this story! Great job. Thanks

About the author

I write laugh-out-loud, page-turning mysteries for people who want to escape with real, complex, and flawed but likable characters. If there’s magic in the story, it must work consistently within the world’s rules and be based in history or the reality of current magical practices.

I’m best known for my cozy mystery and witch mystery novels, though I’ve written some steampunk mystery as well. So if you like funny, action-packed mysteries with complicated heroines, just turn the page…
