Doom with a View: A Merry Ghost Inn Mystery by Kate Kingsbury

3.0

Welp.

I didn't enjoy this one as much I did the first one. The story still had that cozy mystery feel but it just DRAGGED ON FOREVER! Listening to this as an audiobook on 1.40 speed and I just could not wait for it to be over. The new cast of characters were boring and I didn't really care about any of them except Cindy because she's me, except my fiance is Amazeballs, but thats neither here nor there.
This time around, Melanie and her grandmother, Liza have been able to open up the Merry Ghost inn and managed to get a group of guests. During a halloween party, a particularly rude guest, Walter, heckles the magician Nick, during his show, Cindy's boyfriend. The next morning, Melanie finds the dead body of Walter in the driveway and thus plunges us into another murder.
The story moved slow, the characters were forgettable and I'm ready to punch Detective Dutton in the face.

This one disappointed me, and I probably won't read the next one.
