Enjoy this FREE humorous, paranormal cozy mystery series by USA Today best selling author Carly Winter...

She's never believed in ghosts... until now.

As the owner of Sedona Bed and Breakfast, Bernadette Maxwell has always played up the rumors that her business was haunted. She’s never believed it herself, even though she can’t explain the odd odors that sometimes permeate the room or why a blast of cold air comes out of nowhere… until she has an accident and can suddenly see her resident ghost—her crazy, fun-loving, hippie grandmother, Ruby.

When a guest is found dead, the police rule it a homicide. It becomes apparent Bernadette is not only a suspect, but also in the crosshairs of the murderer. With no one to turn to for help, she relies on Ruby to assist her in a search for clues to bring the killer to justice.

Will Bernadette and Ruby find the murderer before Bernadette becomes the next victim?

Ratings and reviews

The story started badly, for no reason other than to create a plot. Additionally, the two main characters were annoyingly stupid and just plain annoying, respectively, Bad decisions were used to further the story. 5/10 stars.

Bernadette Maxwell inherited Sedona Bed & Breakfast from her Grandmother. While attending a wedding she was struck by lightning. Feeling extremely lucky she survived she did walk away with a little side effect. Returning to Sedona she walked into the B&B and came face to face with her dead Grandmother Ruby. One of the guests in her B&B was found in his room, dead. It is up to her and Ruby to find out who killed him and clear herself of being accused.

I loved it. Betnie gets struck by lightning in Louisiana while she was there for her cousins wedding. She comes home to find that her grandmother Ruby an old hippie of sorts who had been dead for 3 years is still around as a ghost. Then one of her guests is murdered. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
