Fun Little Mystery with Ghosts

The story revolves around a B&B that has two resident ghosts. This are not dangerous/vicious ghosts but do have unique personalities. One ghost is an ex-private eye who pesters the owner of the B&B to assist him in his sleuthing. The beginning third of the story is a bit slow but gets moving quickly as the story develops. Its a cute story.

Hilariously entertaining!

What made the experience of listening to Inspector Specter the most enjoyable?

It was great to finally see Anita involved in a paranormal situation.

What did you like best about this story?

That Anita and Allison became closer afterward.

Have you listened to any of Amanda Ronconi’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, I have listened to them all and I have a hard time choosing a favorite. I'm waiting for more!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I really enjoyed it, all the more because I've listened to the rest and feel "at home" with the characters. It's kind of a comforting feeling.

Any additional comments?

I'd highly recommend anyone who likes a haunting story, but more on the "light" side, to listen to these books.

The series is getting very formulaic

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

It's a decent listen to pass the time, but there's nothing really earth-shattering here.

Would you be willing to try another book from E.J. Copperman? Why or why not?

Yes. I like the series, and it seems to be progressing toward something very interesting, but it's doing so slowly with a lot of the mundane and annoying as filler.

What about Amanda Ronconi’s performance did you like?

Amanda is the perfect voice for Allisen. She has the exasperated and snarky tone down perfectly. Unfortunately, she can also come across a bit whiny as well.

Any additional comments?

We get a few peeks into more of the dynamics of the ghost world in this book, and Paul seems to be progressing along nicely.

Unfortunately, outside of that we have the typical formula. A case is reluctantly taken on by our "heroin", she stumbles through it, and constantly missing obvious clues to her case and to the side story that is going on. The author is also very lazy in how she allows this to drag on as well ("I was about to make the phone call that would end all this silly, drawn-out drama, but oh something else came up... for the third time), which makes it even more frustrating.

I wish Allisen were a smarter, less annoying character, but I do love the supernatural aspect of the series.

I love this series

The books in this series are so good that I am sad when I come to the end. The characters are well developed and funny. Their are enough personality quirks that make the characters come and alive. and seem real. The plot is rich with many twists and turns so it never becomes stagnant. This is one of my favorite series and I can't wait until the next book is available.

Excellent

I love this book. I have listened to all The Haunted Guest House stories one after the other and thoroughly enjoyed all of them. I laughed out loud on many occasions.
The narration was so good, I was sad when I got to the end. Amanda Ronconi is a joy to listen to.

Autism spectrum

I've listened to a number of books by this author in a few different series, and I can't help but notice how often she includes characters that appear to be somewhere on the autism spectrum. I like the contrast between these characters and the main characters, and I do, seriously identify strongly with Allison, who is all things to a variety of people and still has an irreverent internal sense of humor! I
